YANCHE

—TIKTOK GAME MANUAL— To start the game open the link in your TikTok app. It will open the filter’s page. When you’re on the page, click the “Use this effect” button below (it’s bright pink). It will open your video (post) recording tab. You should be able to see the games interface by that point. Follow the instructions on the screen and tap it (the screen, not the record button, not yet) when you’re ready to begin your journey. Otherwise, you can also follow along the walkthrough video below and still have a journey and research of your own.

—YANCHE— A young adult alien creature working a regular office job at a regular office. They’re waiting for a bus home when they feel themselves being stared at by a concerned stranger. Yanche’s life concerns are simple, but they still weight down on them. What would you tell the disturbed workaholic alien? —THE WORLD AND DESIGN— The game is designed to make the player fail through either communication with Yanche, the circumstances or the cursed software’s bugs. In the intended scenario, Yanche isn’t supposed to get help because they’re looking for it in a completely different place, but that has nothing to do with their relationship with the player (who can still choose to lie to them, though, and make them believe that help is on its way).
