Sorry to say it's real.
I haven't gotten to that part yet but that channel also updated a instructtion video in how to beat the tutorial boss to get the bonus Carta day one of the demo so they're legit.
If it's any consolation some funny messages made it into the game from the Fanzina event

One of the cutscenes seems to be bugged in the PS4 version. In the cave, after you kick William's ass, the game crashes when Michael punches Rory and Alex. It crashed 3 times in a row, so I ultimately just had to skip the cutscene.

A game made primarily based on nostalgia for 90s RPGs having a new cutscene that amounts to "Erm, uh, nostalgia is bad actually" is something.

Replacing the disgusting looking streaker with Juju the Cow and Certified Pedophile is oddly appropriate, but I don’t know how anyone involved in this would think that’s alright, especially the Allanson Bros. (:_(

The brothers like to get chummy with literally anyone whose willing to talk positively about them/their game(s) and/or has any amount of talent for them to exploit. Every character in this game is based on somebody they're "friends" with.

YIIK is a Unity game so it should be possible to mod them into it, although I for one haven't seen any YIIK mods, probably due to lack of genuine interest in the game outside of critique and groupies fellating the devs.

Yiik is the kind of game that got a fandom built solely on ironic appreciation, just like about 90% of current day Nostalgia Critic fans.
I commend the brothers for trying to make their shitty game better and more functional, I just wonder if doubling down on the insanity from the previous title instead of just building a new game is really gonna pay out.

Trannies and pissblogs like kotaku made a moral crusade against this game like, right off the bat. Juju was one of the few people the actually bothered to talk to him and have him on the show.

Anyway, this is the only Yiik related shit you should consume and does a good job of showing how retarded the people who made this game are.

This one is also decent, though it gives a fair chance to the Allansons, explores deleted/past content and promises to come back to check on the future (now present) update.
Regard juju the cow and vito the pedo, I don't really hate the two brothers for adding them, everyone mocked them and their game on the internet, even toby cucks removed any promotuon he did regard their game the moment their game got negative coverage whule vito and juju were pretty much the sole content creators that remained behind them to cheer them up.
I see Yiik I.V as the two Allansons standing up again after getting the beating of their life and saying "I did hear no bell", its commendable, regardless of how bad was their reputation and product beforehand, and despite the intiall hatred, its still inspiring enough to make you cheer for them, if just a little. We live in an era stuff in the likes of dustborn, concord and goodbye volcano high, where "game devs" don't even need to try in order to get both the media and a bunch of enablers to suck their hairy, inverted armcocks.
In my mind, Yiik had already been dethroned fron the title of most insufferable and pretentious shit the moment the tranny dinosaur game with no gameplay was revealed at the ps5 showcase and I can't really get to hate them anymore both after all the shit I saw released in the 2020s and the fact that they did tried to fix their shit game without charging extra money.

I'm in The Essentia 2000's mind dungeon now. The new bossfights have been nice. Having actual cutscenes really does some wonders. I'm almost surprised at how much fun I'm having.

The stuff that's bad is still bad. Alex is really long-winded still and there's a lot of fart sniffery when the game talks philosophy. The new stuff sorta feels really angry. Like, you can tell it was rage and passion that spurred on a lot of the changes.

That being said, it feels like a proper game now. I think if the current game was the only version that had ever existed, the game would be a lot more well-received. A lot of the really vague aspects of the story are conveyed a lot better this time around

Random things of note:
The Shitty OC enemy cracks me up.
All the new female monsters have jiggle physics
The characters that appear when you use the cursed goggles are weird looking
The music is still very good

I'm not sure, YIIK would never have been good, and being better than abysmal would have made people forget about it after a week.

Yeah. For all its faults, its a very memorable game. Maybe not for the reasons the Allanson's wanted, but it's better than being forgettable.

Thinking about it, Runningshine won. Micheals goofy ass got a gun. But no power glove

The brothers did something right when their game felt so persona-esc that they can put their head down, grind and add all this extra shit as a free fes/golden/royal deal.

I can vouch for this, the only reason why Dick and Vito are in YIIK is because they liked the game, or at least pretend to for the sake of being contrarian. A lot of the characters in YIIK are based off of people from the Andrew's personal life.

Also it seems like the Allansons included one of Hellkrai's OCs in the game as a hidden character.

What's your opinion on hellkrai's series on YIIK? While it was overall interesting to me, there were some points that I found strange such as him claiming that cut content is part of the game's narrative. Also on the Steam discussion page him and this other guy called liminalspaceship are always the first to respond whenever anything bad is suggested about the game.
