YIIK's first public release was on January 17th, 2019, and has had numerous updates over the years. Some were small and fixed bugs and had some tweaks, while others added new content.

For versions pre-dating 1.0, check out the Development History page.

1.0

1.0 was the first build for Switch. ^{[Citation Needed]} 1.03 was the first version for PC. ^{[Citation Needed]} PS4's first verison number was odd, as it displayed both 1.01 and 1.03 on top of each other, giving it a warped appearance. ^{[Citation Needed]} The game released on January 17th, 2019.

Not much is known about the 1.01 and 1.02 builds. 1.01 was likely released a day after release, as seen in a livestream from January 18th, 2019. As seen in the stream, the Save menu was changed from the 1.0 build.

Version 1.04 does not exist for the PC version, and it's unknown if it existed for the console releases.

On January 24th, 2019, a new branch was launched that balanced the combat. The access code was "youneedtoletmeinside" but it no longer works. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/459080/view/4647108190403932865

1.05

Released on January 28th, 2019.

This patch greatly increased the overall speed of battles. EXP rewards from enemies were increased, and some enemies were given a bit more HP.

The exact changes are unknown and these are rough estimates of what they probably are. They could be wrong.

General Changes

• Adjusted wording of opening questionnaire.
• Text can proceed much faster.
• Control Stick movement is a bit smoother(?)

Battle Changes

• Text in battle goes by much faster.
• Dodge minigame made a bit faster.(?)
• Alex's Attack is faster when starting up.(?)
• LP Toss nerfed(?)
• Michael's Attack start ups much faster.
• Michael's Photoshoot flashing has been changed to be less intense.
• LP Toss nerfed(?)
• Victory Text and Death Text made faster
• Gothic Entity XP changed from 20 to 150.
• Mimic XP changed from 20 to 100.
• Many enemies will now have a specific HP number instead of it scaling, such as the Samurai Tortoise bosses, Poo, Samurai Rats, and others.
• Golden Poo HP from 7 to 18.
• Bats now have separate stats for the Mountain Trail and Mt. Town Cave.
• Aliens now have separate stats for the Mountain Trail.
• Stop Signs have different stats for Vella's MD.
• Frank'O HP from 15 to 25, Frank'O smaller HP variant 8 to 18.

Bug Fixes

• Hints now work on Japanese.
• Flag Town achievement adjusted(?)

Hidden Changes

• Added some implementation of the Chinese Language.

1.05 received a hotfix on January 29th, 2019, which fixed a bug where the opening questionnaire's lines were mixed up. Once complete, the game would softlock. This hotfix also introduced a major bug where entering a Monster Den would softlock the game.(?)

1.06

1.06 initially released on January 31st, 2019, and got multiple "silent" updates which didn't change the version number. The changes aren't entirely known. These updates added Chad and the first remnants of the Old Frankton ending.

Jan. 31, 2019

• Fixed entering a Monster Den softlocking the game.
• (OTHER CHANGES?!)

Feb. 10, 2019

Giving Liana's music tape to her brother will now remove it from the inventory.

Apr. 15, 2019

Otherwise Unknown

1.07

More Old Frankton ending content was added.

1.25

Pre-release

1.25's development was first announced on January 10th, 2020. A few bullet points were given as to what the update aimed to have.

• New Battle System that focuses on quicker battles/more strategic gameplay (the old battle system will still be available as an option.)
• Improved Combat Balance (New and Old Battle System)
• Refined/Streamlined Mind Dungeon.
• Improving Rory’s usefulness in battle
• Region Specific Bugs (Some Japanese region players have reported some issues that seem to only occur in Japanese language mode.)
• Adding a way to view progress in each area (How many enemies are left to kill, secrets left to uncover, etc.)

One idea during development was a Challenge Mode. Enemies would have more HP and minigames would be harder to execute. Enemies could inflict a new status ailment called Curse, which would require the party to visit a hospital to cure.

A basic tutorial was planned right before the game's first fight.

Release

1.25 released on January 14th, 2021, alongside the short story Deviation Perspective I and it's soundtrack.

Console Ports

On May 10th, 2021, the Switch port received version 1.25.12 and the PlayStation port received version 1.25.21. Despite the different numbering schemes, it is assumed to have the same changes from PC's 1.25.2.^{[Citation Needed]} Since the ports are in a different version of Unity compared to the PC version, it received different numbering schemes for the patches.
