Yerba Buena is a puzzle-platformer set in a surreal 1970s San Francisco under threat. You play as Barb, wielding a device called the Oscillator that captures physical properties from objects and applies them elsewhere. Grab the bounciness of a rubber ball and transfer it to a wall, or extract a platform's solidity to phase through it. The game's environmental puzzles revolve around experimenting with these property swaps to navigate spaces that shift based on what traits you've borrowed and where you've placed them. Expect trial-and-error problem-solving as you figure out which combinations unlock progress. The 70s aesthetic and surreal tone frame the mechanics without overshadowing them. It's designed for players who enjoy spatial reasoning challenges and don't mind restarting sections to test new approaches.
