YesterSol

About

YesterSol is a solo adventure where you play Corin, a young warrior with a magical spear. You can throw this weapon at enemies or stand on it to reach high places. The game takes place in a dark world destroyed by Culex, a mosquito deity who once lived on the moon. Your goal is to explore the underground city of SolLuna and find out what happened during its civil war. You will fight mosquito minions while moving through minimalistic levels that feel like a Metroidvania. The spear acts as both your main weapon and your primary tool for movement across gaps. The game stands out because it was built by a single developer at Neat Games who focused on clean mechanics without clutter. Players often praise how the spear throwing feels responsive during combat or platforming sections. Community feedback suggests the story about the fractured kingdom adds weight to the action without slowing things down. You will uncover secrets tied to the HeatSeed that powers the city while trying to stop the curse from spreading. The art style keeps things simple so you can focus on solving puzzles and fighting back against the darkness.
