About YIIK I.V Update
What should have been a happy homecoming becomes a collapse of reality as college graduate Alex is struck with a vision of a disappearing woman trapped in an iron maiden. Fueled by an obsession to reveal the truth, his investigation threatens to tear the boundaries of his world.
Meanwhile, The Nameless Child clings to the hope of reuniting with her long-lost brother as she trades her name for a party invitation. Recover the missing details of her past as she searches for a way to save both the Good Brother and the Bad Brother.
Experience Alex and The Nameless Child’s converging stories as they navigate an incomprehensible world of dangerous dreamlike dungeons riddled with intricate puzzles, deadly traps, and odd adversaries inspired by PS1 graphics.
Encounter peculiar allies along the descent into saturated, cryptic realms. Endure the unpredictable charisma of The Handsome Krow, hired to carry out plans for an upcoming guerrilla film. Meet method actress Asuka Furutani and decipher the line between performance and reality as the group encounters combat challenges like never before.
Battle bizarre entities in an arcane dance of turn-based combat. Be protected by mysterious beings known as Karta, which act as your first line of defense. Collect, strategize, and equip up to three Karta, each possessing distinct passive and active abilities and separate HP defenses. Engage in The Dark Game, a new battle system where you race against the flow of blood, balancing wounds and outlasting enemies.
Alongside extensive updates to YIIK’s cast and combat system, I.V also offers additional and improved cutscenes, reimagined dungeon layouts, ten new areas, revamped Monster Dens to explore and power up, 150 new tracks, and an all-new leveling system within Alex’s Mind Dungeon: make great leaps in logic to uncover abilities, Karta, narrative secrets, and more.
“We want to thank our supportive community for their patience as my brother Brian and I put our hearts and souls into the development of I.V,” said Andrew Allanson, co-founder and co-director of Ackk Studios. “We hope they find everything they’re looking for in the ultimate YIIK experience!”
YIIK I.V arrives on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4|5, and Windows PC via Steam and GOG on Monday, Dec. 2, 2024, with English and Japanese language support.
