About YogLabs: Testing Initiative

✦ AI summary

YogLabs: Testing Initiative puts you in the cloned shoes of Honeydew as you navigate a chaotic laboratory filled with dangerous puzzles, mini-games, and secrets to uncover. This fan-made adventure captures the spirit of classic Yogscast Let's Play series with familiar voices, hidden Jaffas to collect, and the freedom to either complete the testing course or cause explosive chaos along the way.

Step into another dimension with YogLabs: Testing Initiative - where chaos brews and experiments never go as planned. You awaken as a freshly cloned copy of Honeydew, thrown into an unusual testing course of dangerous challenges. Can you survive the trials before disaster strikes and everything unravels?Hi everyone! My name is Sergio, and Elsewhere is a game I’ve been developing since 2012. Since late 2018, I’ve been working on it nearly full-time. All code for the game is done by me, while the art assets are either done by me or by my more talented artist friends.I’ve been a fan of the Yogscast for many years, and the core idea behind Elsewhere is to create a fully standalone game where players can embark on adventures reminiscent of classic Let’s Play series such as Jaffa Factory, Voltz, Moon Quest, and Hole Diggers, to name just a few.So here’s my fan-made YogLabs adventure! I built everything myself and I hope you enjoy playing through it as much as I enjoyed making it! I would love to be able to add new episodes to the game (the 2nd one is on its way) so please show your support by checking out Elsewhere!The game includes many references, jokes and secrets. Take your time and explore the lab.Features:⛏️ Explore the facility as Honeydew and cause trouble as you go!🎵 Notice some familiar guest voices to guide you through the puzzles🐱 Play mini-games and find secrets - can you collect all the Jaffas?❔ Complete the Testing Course and/or blow stuff up (optional)🎁 YogLabs: Testing Initiative is a fan project and all Yogscast-related content is used with permission.

For a free game, and as someone who's been a fan of the Yogscast since their WoW days, this was actually so fun. Nostalgic and perfect for any Yognaut/Yognaught.

A beautiful and hilarious homage to one of the greatest comedic duos/trios and best friends on the internet. Had a lot of fun with part one when it released and part two soon after it did, can’t wait for what’s to come.

Pretty cool adventure maps, I love how both of them try to stop you from going wildly off rails but leave a few roads open for clever players.

A fun fan game about the Yogscast. Very much inspired by Portal and The Stanley Parable

A short but sweet game which is a true love letter to the golden days of the Yogscast and YogLabs. There's so many references in such a relatively small area and timeframe of playing, with multiple endings and secrets you could easily miss on even multiple playthroughs. Visual jokes and references are everywhere, along with secrets, and actual Yogscast members voicing themselves which was a huge surprise and adds to the game. So much nostalgia and fun to be had, and for free I definitely recommend checking it out, whether you grew up watching classic Yogs series like I did, or if you are a new fan. My only complaint is that I wish we had more of YogLabs to see and explore outside of what we get, but I understand that eventually there will be new episodes which will hopefully add more areas of YogLabs to see.

YogLabs: Testing Initiative, Honestly was a ton of fun to play through, I wasn't 100% sure I was going to enjoy this game going into it, as I wasn't an avid fan of Yogscast, however I still really enjoyed this, especially trying to find every hidden detail or reference, honestly was well worth the time it took to play through! Overall, it's a short but great game to playthrough and I'd highly recommend it, especially If you're a big fan of the Yogscast! Solid 8/10 *Episode 2, honestly was just as good as the first, an absolute blasted from start to finish!

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
