7 itemsAbout the Game
YANCY is an NES style action adventure that follows a small protagonist in a vast world full of dangerous foes, magical swords and incredible rewards.
Carve your own path through a non-linear game world, exploring hand-crafted dungeons, forging legendary weapons and battling challenging bosses, in a quest to uncover the world's best kept secrets.
🗺️ AN 'ACTUALLY' OPEN WORLD
YANCY is fully non-linear. Take the road less travelled, or the path of least resistance. Die a thousand times to a boss you obviously aren't prepared for. No matter what, you're trusted with the reigns.
🗡️ MAGICAL SWORDS
Forge an arsenal of powerful weapons from the materials you find adventuring. Build swords of Oak, Iron and Soul. Swords that shoot lightning, conjure meteor showers, or summon wolves!
✨ RETRO SPIRIT
The world is perilous, and the puzzles obtuse. You'll need both a quick hand and sharp wits to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
🔎 ANCIENT MYSTERY
Centuries of history lie hidden in the unclaimed country. Search farther, dig deeper, and overcome impossible odds to unearth the world's best kept secrets.
