Yondel

Yondel is a sandbox survival adventure set in a procedurally generated pixel world. You gather resources, build a home, grow food, craft equipment and fight creatures as you explore the surface and descend into increasingly dangerous caves in search of ores and stronger gear. You can play alone or invite friends into your world for online co-op.

Explore underground

The surface is only the beginning. Craft a pickaxe and descend through cave floors, mining valuable ores and minerals along the way. Underground caverns can be pitch-black, so bring torches or lanterns; bats, beetles and other creatures also make the depths dangerous. Resources become more valuable the deeper you go, but surviving the journey gets harder.

Build and craft

Shape an empty patch of land into a home, farmstead or workshop. Build with walls, floors, doors, storage, crafting stations, furnaces, beds, lighting and decorations. You can use different crafting stations to turn gathered resources into tools, weapons, armor, building materials and other equipment. Smelt ores into metal bars, forge gear at an anvil and process materials at specialized workstations; stronger equipment lets you explore places you could not safely reach before.

Farm and survive

Prepare farmland, plant seeds, water crops and harvest food to manage your hunger. Grow wheat, carrots, potatoes and strawberries, then use campfires and cooking stations to make meals. Prepare supplies before long expeditions and carry enough food to get home.

Night makes exploration more dangerous, and the underground is completely dark without a light source. Use torches, lanterns and campfires to make safe pockets of light. Slimes and other hostile creatures roam the surface, while more enemies wait below. If you die, you can find your grave and recover your belongings.

Play together

You can experience the game alone or invite friends into your world through online co-op. Explore, gather resources, build a shared base, farm and craft together, or head underground as a group.

Make it your own

Customize your character, decorate your home and create a clan identity. Steam Workshop support lets players publish and share custom paintings that can be placed in the game world.

Yondel is being expanded with new underground floors, resources, creatures, equipment, building options and Workshop content.
