Or maybe you become a traumatised alcoholic. In six weeks, something terrible is going to happen. Its been out for almost a year, and also arrived on Steam yesterday. Maybe you become the leader of the survivors and start rebuilding the city plank by plank. The Yawhg is a one-to-four player adventure game, by Damian Sommer and Emily Carroll, in which you try to direct the fate of characters plucked straight from a fairy tale that never was. But unlike that game of scribbling and silliness, this actually shows you what happens afterwards, as a result of your actions. It reminds me a lot of pen and paper game, The Quiet Year, which is about drawing a map of a town and getting yourself and your fellow villagers prepared for the arrival of the ‘Frost Shepherds’. After six turns, the Yawhg comes and every player gets a little story about how they fared in the ruins of that event. These stats are important for the end of times. Your strength might go up, or your money, or your charisma.

Maybe leeches break free from the hospital, maybe you build up your strength in the pits of the arena, or maybe you just bet on other fighters. Here they are assaulted with some decision or event. Each player takes their turn going to whatever location they feel like – the arena, the hospital, the slums, the palace.

It’s a fairytale story with a hint of the Ant and the Grasshopper. What will you do? Spend the whole time drinking and gambling, clearly. You don’t know anything about this looming apocalypse (and you never will) except the name – the Yawhg. The Yawhg puts you and some friends into a fantasy city on the brink of a mysterious disaster and asks you to roam around doing whatever the hell you like. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
