Once upon a time,

There was a message board named onanism which was a place online to share information about spooky encounters and unsolved mysteries. Eventually that board was shut down by the owner as they matured and moved on with their adult life. But the demand for a place to share spooky stories remained, and a new message board was created to share some things that are awful.

Thus, Something Awful was born. Welcome to the start of the Third Ending!

Yes. This time a male character based on a real life person who disappeared under violent and horrifying circumstances is kidnapped by slenderman. You also get to jerk off over their dead body, literally. Its equality, you see. Yiikuality.

So that 3rd ending record thing was re-uploaded so I cloned it this time so everyone can read it without worry: Here

And it looks like the discord is getting taken over by trolls, so if there was ever a time to stand and deliver Andrew, now would be the time.

Edit: Also apparently the reason the 3rd ending hasn't been released is due to Andrew getting sick from his trip overseas.

I'm actually gunna go out on a limb and say that there actually MIGHT be some postmodern themes in Yiik, although probably not intentionally so. Alex never once grows or changes in any meaningful way, despite being set up as an unlikable character that needs to learn to not be an rear end. He thinks he's the most important person in the universe, and surpsie, he is! He monologues about how he learns lessons and how lovely he's acting, but he never actually changes his behavior.

So through the game's terrible writing, it kind of accidentally becomes postmodern.

Maybe the reason for the third ending never actually coming is that Andrew is actually Ellen Rimbauer, and cannot die while the game is incomplete. He will be perpetually working on the game but never be happy with how the third ending plays out, so will live for a thousand years through eternal patches.

"Andrew once asked a woman out on a date. She fled, all the way to Egypt. He is quoted as saying 'drat all women...'"

TheGreatEvilKing
Mar 28, 2016





And a great cry rose through all Egypt, and the multitudes cried out in fear.for the time of Yiik was upon them. And to Yiik it was given it should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. And the dialogue of Yiik was shaped as excrement from an anus, and poorly crafted as a thing of cheap plastic. In its dungeons were unsolvable puzzles, and its characters bore the mark of uninteresting exposition. And it had a king over it, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue was Abaddon, but whose name in English was Alex.
