Something Calls from Beneath the Great Tree — Free Playtest Now Live

Hi everyone, we're Mariana Games.

The Steam Playtest for YARETA is now open! Just click "Request Access" on store page to join for free and play around two hours of content.

In this playtest, you'll step into the role of Number Six, an investigator from the World Library. Soar across an ancient land on a rope that reaches the sky, wander the vast shores of Mirror Lake, descend into the ruins beneath a colossal tree, and meet the gentle giants that live there.

What's in this playtest?

New dungeon: the Hexagonal Great Tree Ruins

Descend to the roots of the great tree and solve the puzzles left behind by an ancient civilization. Deep underground, you'll meet a giant spirit trapped below, and uncover a chapter of Yareta's past that no one remembers.

More to explore above ground

We've added many more ruins and creatures you can reach out and touch, and the shores of Mirror Lake hide plenty of secrets to discover at your own pace. You can also attach all kinds of items to your backpack for unexpected effects.
