YIIK album includes a powerful new battle theme composed by Ayako Saso of SuperSweep with remixes by the game's composer and Scarlet Moon family!

Scarlet Moon is pleased to present YIIK: Electric Soul Archives, a special collection of music celebrating music from the recent December 2024 DLC update to the eclectic post-modern RPG, YIIK I.V. It features an original battle theme composed by SuperSweep's Ayako Saso, incorporating melodies from YIIK composer and developer Andrew Allanson. Saso is a legendary composer who worked with Namco in the
1980s and 1990s and has contributed to countless franchises including
Ridge Racer, TEKKEN,F-Zero,Street Fighter, Mega Man, and so many more. YIIK developer and composer Andrew Allanson contributes an original theme inspired by the themes of loss and grief while Scarlet Moon's extended family of game composers, including coda (Read OnlyMemories: Neurodiver), Jamphibious (Kero Quest 64), and Frank Van 't Ende (Clock Tower:Rewind) follow with their own interpretations of Saso's battle theme, ranging in style from electronic funk to a beautiful waltz for strings.

2. Boundary Fix: Players can no longer jump out of bounds on top of the spikes in room 11 of the Mt. Town Cave.
   
3. Input Handling: The Onism browser will no longer receive input while the quit game menu is open (PC only).
   
4. D-pad Support: The D-pad can now be used to control movement in the Mind Dungeon.
   
5. Item Refill Trunk Interaction: Opening the item refill trunk in Alex's room will no longer cause repeated interactions. The game will now wait for the animation to finish before the chest can be interacted with again.

Patch Notes - Version 1.5.002

Improvements:

• PS4 Controller Support: The right stick should now be correctly read on PC. Ensure that the controller settings in-game are set to PS4 using the settings menu for this fix to work. Changing it from the launcher may not be enough in some cases
  
• Direct3D11 as Default API: Direct3D11 is now the default graphics API, which should resolve launching issues on certain machines.
  

Bug Fixes:

• Steam Deck: Fixed text offset bug, ensuring character names now align correctly with the backing window.
  
• Trophy Unlocking: The trophy for purging Entities should now unlock as intended.
  
• Language Support: Playing the game on systems set to French (or any other language with issues parsing English decimals) should no longer cause music volume problems.
