About the Game

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?
