About
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)

Fun short game, and free!
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
С первой минуты поймал кайф. Она выглядит и ощущается так, как в свое время выглядели и ощущались видео YogsCast Легенды. Очень круто сделали игру.

This was great and a really good demonstration of what Elsewhere would offer. Long story short, buy Elsewhere it's like Minecraft but goes far beyond what you would normally need mods for.
it's got Yog vibes
This was so much fun. I'm also completely amazed and stunned by how you made the game near identical to minecraft. It really has the classic yoglabs feeling. Awesome work!
The perfect game for any fan of 'The Yogscast' and an amazing way to experience their most nostalgic funny videos by playing them. I wish there were more games like this.
So SO good
Научно‑фантастический пазл‑платформер с элементами исследования. Игрок оказывается в секретной лаборатории и решает головоломки, манипулируя физикой, гравитацией и экспериментальными устройствами, чтобы продвигаться дальше. Плюсы: Оригинальные головоломки — задачи задействуют необычные механики (изменение гравитации, взаимодействие с полями и порталами), что держит в напряжении и побуждает мыслить нестандартно. Атмосферный сеттинг — стерильная эстетика лаборатории с технологичными деталями и загадочными записями создаёт ощущение настоящего научного эксперимента. Плавное усложнение — новые механики вводятся постепенно, позволяя осваивать их без перегрузки и сразу применять на практике. Минусы: Неявные подсказки — некоторые задачи не дают чётких ориентиров, из‑за чего легко застрять без понимания, как применить имеющиеся инструменты. Ограниченная свобода исследования — уровни линейны, а отклонение от маршрута часто невозможно, что снижает ощущение погружения в лабораторию. Технические нюансы — периодические сбои в физике объектов или реакции механизмов могут сбивать с толку и мешать решению головоломок. Итог: YogLabs: Testing Initiative заинтересует любителей пазлов и научной фантастики: она впечатляет необычными механиками, атмосферой лаборатории и продуманным нарастанием сложности. Однако нехватка подсказок, линейность уровней и редкие технические недочёты могут не устроить тех, кто ищет полную свободу исследования, чёткие ориентиры в задачах или идеально отлаженный геймплей.
Thank you for reminding me of childhood and reigniting my flame for portal at the same time. Good game and now I am genuinely interested in what else this studio comes up with.
