Yerba Buena: Surreal Puzzle-Platforming Adventure Mad About Pandas, the creative studio known for the surreal and atmospheric adventure Hitchhiker, is back with another mind-bending trip. Published by the veterans at Focus Entertainment, Yerba Buena takes you into a visually striking and stylized version of 1970s San Francisco. But there’s a massive twist: this isn’t the city from the history books. It’s an abandoned video game world, and you weren’t even meant to be the lead character. You play as Barb, an NPC who finds herself thrust into the spotlight when a mysterious glitch threatens to delete her home and everything she knows.The gameplay revolves around the Oscillator, a powerful gadget that lets you break the laws of physics like a developer’s cheat code. Forget standard jumping; here, you master a "Copy and Paste" mechanic that changes the DNA of the environment. See a trampoline? Copy its bounciness and apply it to a heavy table to reach high ledges. Need to get past a roadblock? Take the "intangibility" of a cloud and paste it onto a brick wall to walk right through it. You will manipulate entire buildings and city blocks to solve ingenious puzzles while tracking down a dangerous gang of superpowered bikers.This journey is as much about Barb’s growth as it is about the physics-bending action. With the help of your crew—Russell, Wanda, Jorge, and some very unlikely allies—you’ll hunt for the origins of the glitch. The world is full of vibrant 70s vibes, from the funky aesthetics to the gritty urban blocks, all while the digital fabric of reality unravels around you.
