Yuppie Psycho: Executive Edition Reviews

Absolutely phenomenal

BRIAN LET ME HITTT!!!!!!!!!!!

hands down one of the best games i've played

Absolutely one of my favorite games ever made. Fully wish there was an anime of it.

A game with fun presentation and a very neat concept ruined by unclear puzzles, insanely unbalanced enemy encounters that lead to many cheap deaths, an unnecessary consumable-based save system (the main reason why I quit, a single death set me back so far I couldn't even imagine replaying everything I'd just done) and to top it off I'm just not really a fan of the writing style. I was excited to finally check this game out after keeping it on my wishlist for so long but the longer I played the more I realized it just was not an enjoyable experience in the slightest.

I'm 4 hours in and so far I hate it. The game feels like a collection of totally missable events. And I strongly dislike limited savegames and lack of a place where you can get health for free. I understand that this is a horror game, but this only makes it annoying, not tense. Now that I have finished the game and got all the endings... sigh. It's a mixed bag. I did have enough resources to finish everything, but I spent most of the time reading guides. And some achievements feel just unreasonable. It's a very tentative thumbs up.

Completely worth it especially if you're a puzzle game freak. The art is beautiful, the characters are interesting and kooky, there's endless things to explore, and overall you can see the love and care that was put into this game. I would recommend going in blind but keeping a guide by your side for when you get stuck (trust me you will) and maybe doing a couple playthroughs because the game can lead you down two very distinct paths.

Though I left corporate rat-race behind many years ago, I still get nightmares about it, and Yuppie Psycho feels like it could absolutely be one of them - it's a fascinating little horror adventure game and a cubicle-slave's fever dream! While its in-game graphics aren't exactly attractive, the cutscenes look great, and its darkly comedic, and on occasion genuinely terrifying atmosphere is always on-point. The story also remains quite interesting for most of its runtime, though definitely misses some beats toward the end.

I don't think I ever left a review for this game, but I finished it years ago and still think about it regularly. I ADORE it. I'm always checking the developers page and hoping for a new game from them.
