this narration is so cack-handed it made me think about something i'd never really noticed in games writing before characters really have to explain what they're doing and why without assuming player actions for alex to brazenly narrate i was moving on autopilot back towards my home while i'm trying to open a chest and already tired of hearing him it creates a strange demand to work with the writer to not break the already flimsy narrative it goes hand in hand with putting its medium blending aspirations over good design sense there's just such an incongruity already on display in the writing the art the gameplay and the tone that all comes together in a kaleidoscope of crap oh hey alex the arcade opens tomorrow well that'll take your mind off things then when we do get home i'm greeted by this prompt and i have to wonder is yeet knowingly taking the piss PROFANITY_TOKEN forgot the groceries i tossed my things on the floor and made my way to the couch my mother a NUMBER_TOKEN year old short red-headed woman was an information systems programmer analyst for pacific chime wow i mean i was making a joke but that's just as asinine i get alex is trying to ignore what just happened but there is some whiplash you have mail we get sent a video and this would probably be a joke about long download times and alex being able to go off on a monologue if that wasn't you know exactly what he'd do all the time anyway i love tim rod in his screenshot lp using historical president to give alex faster download times and remove PROFANITY_TOKEN like this as though that would help i just have to wait for it to finish downloading when the file had finished downloading it's all for nothing anyway because somehow this download leads to a forum page of embedded images this is where it becomes clear that yeek was inspired by the elisa lam case but her death is only half the story andrew allenson and i swear i'm not trying to pick on him he just comes up a lot in this story was enthralled by the case the game wasn't so much inspired by her death as it was his experiences on forums trying to piece it together with others through that he became fascinated with writing a story about internet sleuths uncovering a big mystery i'm on a message board here are all these people we're all trying to figure out what happened what if i made a game where the main cast was obsessed with a similar story and explore the types of people who sort of put off growing up and getting real jobs and all they do is play internet detective all day so i'm eagerly awaiting geeky where alex takes on the boston bombing jokes aside i find it a fascinating starting point it's a premise with potential and yik will get tired of it moments after that potential starts taking form but whether or not this explanation makes yeek more or less off-putting and by how much is up to you a lot of stories are drawn from the author's experiences and from real world events a lot of crime fiction is built on actual case files so i'm not condemning the practice it all comes down to execution and yeaks is baffling
