Brice just bought The Yawhg on steam and we gave it a playthrough with us and our two friends claiming a character. It's more or less a game where you can control between 1 and 4 characters over a period of turns before the mysterious Yawhg comes. Where you go and what you do can impact the world in ways you don't expect, and your stats can change the outcomes of your choices. HERE ARE OUR STORIES:

James, playing the red cloaky buns girl, meandered around the town his whole life, never gaining or achieving much until he was taught the mystical ways of juggling for a dollar and immediately became the most dexterous person the village has ever seen. When the Yawhg came, he resorted to looting, and fled to a town where he lived in luxury - that is, until their own disaster occurred and he was stabbed in a scuffle with other looters. James was left to die in the streets and ending the life of one of the worlds best jugglers.

Sid, playing the mustache man, fought crime and hunted, soon hunting people after being attacked by a werewolf. He destroyed the local alchemists tower, incapacitating the towns ability to learn magic, but paying some penance by working at the hospital. He went on to make a lot of money showing the king some rad sex tips, which ended up being smelted and used for materials when the Yawhg hit. He curiously became a potion maker afterward, despite having no magical skill and also having destroyed the alchemists tower, and died never finding love.

I, playing the prettyboy yellowfella, spent much of my time in the gardens, until they were suddenly overgrown with monstrous man-eating plants. Possibly from the magic beans I was sold and planted there. So I went instead to the forest to chop wood for the town, where I was attacked by a glowing twelve legged deer. It eventually gave up pummeling me, but its bite left me with a little bit more magical power. Later, I hung out at the palace where people were rude to me. Dejected, I went to pickpocket some people, but was instead paid handsomely to be bitten by a vampire. Becoming one myself, I ravaged and destroyed the local tavern, but was also incredibly charming, so I guess I got away with it. I became a leader in the community when the Yawhg came, and when all was settled, I went to seek answers, and possibly revenge, for my supernatural ailment.

Brice played the blue lady we first thought was a witch only to be disappointed, and made my favorite story. He started his life helping the sick and learning magic, but goofed on a potion and threw it out the window to avoid potentially explosive consequences. It landed in the river, where it was promptly forgotten. He went on to explore the woods, where he found a deer curiously growing limbs on its back as it drank from a stream, and as he went to help people in the slum, he found they, too, were developing strange and unnecessary limbs. However, he felt very pretty in comparison. Once the Yawhg returned, he went to work again as a doctor, making that his lifelong career and presumably treating mostly people with extra limbs. He found his best friend in the world in a coworker, whom married, moved away and lost touch. No such friend could be found again.

Brice and I are gonna snuggle in today and play it through a few times to see what stories we can get and what other things can happen. It's like 4 bucks on steam right now for the halloween sale, has lovely art, and I recommend checking it out.
