YIIK: A Postmodern RPG, released in 2019 by Ackk Studios, became an internet sensation primarily for its polarizing writing and unlikable protagonist, Alex Eggleston. The meme culture surrounding the game focuses on its overly verbose dialogue, surreal narrative choices, and the infamous elevator scene where Alex shouts 'What is going on?!' as a girl vanishes. Fans and critics alike use the template to mock pretentious storytelling, existential dread, or moments of genuine confusion. Over time, the game's distinct visual style and Alex's long-winded monologues have become shorthand for 'peak postmodernism' in the indie gaming community.
