Buy Yerba Buena at the Best Price

Yerba Buena is a surreal, narrative-driven puzzle platformer set in an alternate 1970s version of San Francisco, where reality itself behaves like a manipulable game system.

You play as Barb, an NPC who becomes an unlikely protagonist after discovering a powerful device known as the Oscillator. This tool allows you to scan the world around you, extract physical properties from objects, and reapply them elsewhere, turning ordinary environmental elements into tools for traversal, experimentation, and puzzle-solving.

The game blends 3D platforming, environmental puzzle design, and action-adventure exploration, built around a highly systemic “copy-and-paste” mechanic. A bench might inherit the bounce of a trampoline, walls can be turned intangible, and city structures can be reconfigured to open entirely new routes through the environment.

The world of Yerba Buena is framed as a "forgotten gameworld," abandoned and unstable, with a strong emphasis on stylized visuals, readable geometry, and a painterly interpretation of 1970s San Francisco. Alongside its puzzle systems, the game features narrative progression, character-driven storytelling, and multiple environmental set-pieces that evolve as you manipulate the rules of the world itself.

Developed by Mad About Pandas and published by Focus Entertainment, it is designed as a single-player experience that emphasizes creative problem-solving, experimentation, and environmental interaction over traditional combat.
