About Yayos
Yayos is a survival simulator from Pigeon-G that casts you as an elderly person managing daily life. Released in 2026 for PC, it focuses on mundane yet vital tasks like shopping, cooking, taking medication, and saving money to survive. The game blends resource management with co-op play, letting you team up with a partner to balance chores, improve mobility, and gamble at slots. It’s a slow-burn strategy game about retirement living, emphasizing planning and cooperation. Single-player and co-op modes let you tackle life’s challenges alone or with help. The tone is grounded, with humor in its quirky premise.
Gameplay
Yayos revolves around balancing routines: you track health, hunger, and cash while navigating a grid-like world. Each day starts with checking medication schedules, then heading to the store for supplies. Cooking meals, managing bills, and playing slots for extra funds fill your time. Mobility upgrades like walkers or wheelchairs unlock new areas but require resource planning. Multiplayer adds teamwork, splitting tasks like shopping and bill-paying while avoiding overlapping chores. Controls are point-and-click, with menus for inventory and health. Sessions last 30, 60 minutes, as you plan ahead to survive seasonal challenges like winter shortages. The game’s simplicity hides its depth in long-term strategy.
What Players Think
Yayos holds a 7.2/10 critic score and 68% community approval. 34% of players finish the base game, with average playtime at 18 hours. Co-op completion jumps to 47%, driven by players praising teamwork mechanics. Community moods skew mixed: 42% call it “refreshingly cozy,” while 31% dislike its repetitive loops. Achievement completion sits at 82%, with 12 trophies for milestones like “Buy 100 Cans of Soup.” Price sensitivity is high, 25% of reviews mention it’s overpriced at $29.99. Positive reviews highlight its heartwarming take on aging, while critics call it “a simulator in name only.”
PlayPile's Take
Yayos is best for fans of slow-paced simulators who enjoy planning and co-op teamwork. Its charm wears thin for players expecting complex systems, but the $30 price tag feels steep for its modest scope. With 12 achievements and 18-hour average playtime, it’s a niche pick for casual gamers. Skip if you crave depth, but try it with a friend for a lighthearted challenge. The game’s strengths lie in its simplicity and collaborative play, not its ambition.
