About

Yashi: Sand Driver is a cozy survival-crafting road trip through the desert where you upgrade your van and travel with your faithful coyote in search of humanity’s last sanctuary.

Yashi: Sand Driver was born from a desire to create a pure exploration experience where the desert itself becomes the main challenge. Through its quiet journey of solitude and minimalist survival, the game invites players to experience a longing to reconnect with a long-lost nature and with humanity itself.

A Relaxing and Meditative Journey

In an endless desert, you are Yashi, a lone survivor… until a mysterious radio signal changes everything. Somewhere beyond the horizon lies New Eden, perhaps the last refuge where humanity may still endure. Jump in your van with your faithful coyote, drive across the wasteland, survive the heat, scavenge resources, craft tools, brave the elements, and find your way to New Eden in this feel-good road trip.

Yashi: Sand Driver is designed as a short but soothing journey where you’ll experience the loneliness and peace of a vast desert. It is built around exploration, scavenging, and crafting upgrades for your van. The game also offers survival mechanics, but keeps them approachable for players of all ages. The desert itself is your greatest challenge, where hunger, thirst, and the elements constantly stand in your way.

Core Gameplay

  • Drive and Explore – Discover the vast wilderness of the desert. Drive your van across treacherous terrain, overcome obstacles, and venture through winding canyons and towering peaks.
  • Survive the Desert – Search for food and water, and manage your resources carefully to withstand the relentless heat. Oases can offer relief along the way, but venturing into the unknown without preparation can be risky.
