What is YIIK: A Postmodern RPG?

This single-player, third-person RPG shifts between Alex, a recent college graduate investigating a woman's disappearance, and a nameless child. You explore dreamlike spaces, solve puzzles, avoid traps, and use everyday weapons in turn-based battles. Taking damage causes bleeding, and each action while bleeding brings a combatant closer to defeat.
