saw a tweet refer to it as 'a game made entirely of bad something awful posts,' and, yeah

lol at the part of the kotaku review where they assume it must be post-modern literally because it has the words 'post-modern' in its name, and still hate it

There may be a method to some of this clumsiness; the game is called A Postmodern RPG, after all. I wouldn’t be completely surprised if later on in the game the layers of nostalgia and unpolished gameplay get slowly pulled back, revealing an even weirder, less-linear game underneath. Sadly, I’m not sure I have the willpower to hold out for any potential breakthrough.

I can't really fault them too much for this because they are, in all likelihood, repeating word for word what their lovely parents said and will be very embarrassed of this when they develop a music taste of their own

Also, yeah, what I've seen of YIIK looks pretty cringey.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
From the reviews, my understanding is that you're supposed to play this game "ironically," except it's not even good enough for that.

when is someone going to make a spiritual successor to CYBER DOLL, the sega saturn jrpg about how a scientist creating a cure for aids leads to the evolution of virus that loosens people's muscles and pushes the world into a cyberpunk future where people are immortal because replacing their muscles with machinery gave them endless life spans and they impeached the president of america for trying to make them mortal again

Oh yeah. I have a friend, who has a brother, who is that guy.

One time my friend, a friend of his, and his brother were suppose to go to a Huey Lewis and the News Concert. The brother was like "yo check it out, I got this new record player" and made them stand there and listen to an entire Huey Lewis album in silence, causing them to be late to the concert.

tbh i feel like "Year: 1997, the world famous virologist Dr. Maria Ralos discovered a cure for the devil's virus, AIDS. However, centuries before, a great visionary, Nostrodamus, prophesied a greater disaster." as like, two halves of a single combined statement as literally the first thing established about the setting of your jrpg, is one of the most powerful moves ever written
