Twinfinite writes, "The Yawhg does its best to attempt to translate this classic style of storytelling to a video game as much as possible, and honestly, for how small it is I’d say it succeeds quite nicely. The game keeps things engaging with text that is both eloquent and quietly witty, along with gorgeous hand-drawn visuals and a light musical backing. There will be many naysayers who will claim that this barely qualifies as a game, but there will also be just as many who also appreciate the timeless nature of its text-based gameplay."
Gary Hartley Writes: The kind of tainted fairy-tale spectacle The Yawhg promotes sadly fades all too soon, despite the whimsically strong writing and the playful art that often hints at a slightly darker edge. For all its subtle melancholy and inventive storytelling, there’s only a small window of time when all these things mesh together to create something special. After that, it’s more about rediscovery and rehashing in the futile hopes that relevance can be discovered by combining the old and worn.
A good RPG is really difficult to find these days. Can The Yawhg be counted among some of the greatest India RPG titles out there? Or is it another one of those games which no one will think about a few years down the road.
