Manipulate the World with Copy and Paste
In Yerba Buena, you’ll play as Barb, a young woman living as an NPC in an abandoned video game production. It’s up to you to save your beloved San Francisco by solving ingenious platforming puzzles with the Oscillator and an original Copy and Paste mechanic. Use the Oscillator to scan your surroundings and identify what properties may be copied. Then take the desired behavior and stick it onto your target to change the world around you!
Copy a car’s left-to-right movement, and paste it onto a housing block to make it move. Copy a trampoline’s bounce, and apply it to concrete to make it bouncy – or capture gas coming out of a broken pipe to turn solid walls into thin air! Properties can even be stacked on top of one another, so experiment! You’re always free to reset your actions if you change your mind.
Try Yerba Buena for Free with the New Steam Demo!
Put these skills to the test in Yerba Buena’s free Steam demo, available now until the game releases on May 26! Meet our colorful cast of characters, learn the ins and outs of the Oscillator, and experience the first three levels of the game, including the tutorial. Any progress you achieve in this demo will carry over to the full game upon release.
