Yerba Buena

ActionAdventureIndie

Developer Mad About Pandas

Yerba Buena is a 2026 puzzle platformer video game. The player controls Barb, a character in a virtual representation of 1970s San Francisco, and solves puzzles with the Oscillator, a tool that allows certain properties of objects, such as movement, rotation, and material, to be copied to other objects. The game was developed by German indie studio Mad About Pandas, and was funded in 2023 by a German government… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

    The enclosure of Yerba Buena Gardens didn’t stop us from leading a march to discuss our Game Workers’ Bill of Rights earlier this week — our way to fight for standardization across video game studios and employers that empower workers instead of breaking them down.

    Informa rents out Yerba Buena every year from the city so nobody else restricts access. THIS mess is apparently the catered lunch for $2500 Game Changer passes. But it devalues general GDC passes and encourages people to not show up. Attendance will drop because of this, @officialgdc.bsky.social.

  • Aaron Riccio @illogicaljoker.bsky.socialBluesky · May 27, 2026

    I think Yerba Buena has a really neat concept--capturing momentum and using it to move glitched objects--but the game itself seems somewhat glitchy, having not recorded my progress through Chapter 3 and being frustratingly convoluted as early as Chapter 4. Not sure the Psychonauts vibe is helping!

    "Yerba Buena" is a mind bending physics puzzle game set in a surreal 70s San Francisco, where your device can steal physics properties & swap them between objects. ...I have no idea what the name "Yerba Buena" means.
