It is six weeks until The Yawhg returns. How will the town’s locals lead their lives in the meanwhile, and what will they do when the dreaded Yawhg finally arrives? The fate of a community hinges on the characters’ actions, and the decisions of their players.

Damian Sommer
Damian
Damian Sommer is an independant game developer born and raised in Toronto, Canada. He works full-time on his own games, and is currently slaving away on his first big solo release, The Clown Who Wanted Everything. Working mostly alone, he has developed a knack for minimalism in both his art and game design. He’s well-known for the surprising speed at which he develops games, such as his 2-day game, A Game About Game Literacy, which currently has over one million plays. Damian specializes in using familiar tropes and twisting them ever so slightly to surprise and delight his players. Completely self-taught, he is often found encouraging others to make games, trying to convince them that it’s much easier than they’d think. You can find his games at http://damiansgames.com/
