Take Part in ‘Awkward Valley’, a Collaboration Between Rue Valley & The Awkward Yeti

In the spirit of the season, Rue Valley and The Awkward Yeti banded together to bring forth a brand-new productivity simulator, Awkward Valley. Use unique micro deck-building mechanics to plan your day, and then sit back and watch how it unfolds. Your choices define whether your day becomes something worth remembering or an utter disaster.

Even though you might roll your eyes at another April 1st news, but the collaboration itself is actually no joke and can be played right now on Steam for free. If you want to get through a perfectly ordinary, totally normal, definitely-not-a-time-loop day with a bit of card game management, Awkward Valley is waiting just for you.

Each morning, drag activities from your trusty notebook into your schedule and hit “Start” to watch your perfectly (or terribly) planned day unfold. Will you be productive, exhausted, or just spiral into existential dread? With illustrations by Awkward Yeti and a healthy dose of absurdity, Awkward Valley is your chance to micromanage a surreal life – one scheduled breakdown at a time!

Don’t forget to check out Rue Valley, the story that led to the collab in the first place. Featuring a deep, emotional narrative, it tells a tale about a man trapped in a time loop. Surrounded by a colorful cast with their own complex stories, he must deal with mental challenges to uncover the origins of this anomaly. Our preview will provide more context if you need it!
