If you loved the charming, wind-swept adventure of Zefyr: A Thief’s Melody, get ready to gear up for a brand-new journey! Oneiric Worlds, the French solo development studio behind Zefyr, has officially announced its next project: Yashi – Sand Driver.

Swapping the open seas for endless golden dunes, Yashi – Sand Driver promises a cosy, survival-crafting road trip across a vast desert landscape. Here is everything you need to know about this upcoming indie adventure.

A Cosy Survival-Crafting Journey

In Yashi – Sand Driver, humanity is searching for its final sanctuary, and you are taking the wheel to help get there. Unlike high-stress survival games, Yashi blends crafting, exploration, and resource management with a relaxing, feel-good atmosphere.

As you navigate the sun-soaked wilderness, you’ll forage for materials, fix up your vehicle, and chart a path across an ever-changing desert.

Key Features to Look Forward To

• Upgrade & Customise Your Van: Your vehicle is your lifeline and your mobile home. Gather parts, build upgrades, and customise your rig to withstand the elements and travel further into the unknown.
• A Faithful Companion: You won’t be tackling the desert alone! Travel alongside your loyal coyote companion, who keeps you company on long drives and assists you along the way.
• Explore a Mysterious Desert World: Discover ancient ruins, hidden oases, and forgotten outposts as you search for humanity’s last safe haven.
• Cosy Mechanics: Enjoy a balanced gameplay loop focused on exploration, tinkering, and discovery without the punishing stress typical of the survival genre.

From the Solo Developer Behind Zefyr

Creating an expansive world as a solo developer is no small feat, but Oneiric Worlds proved its talent with the warmth, vibrant art style, and engaging world-building of Zefyr: A Thief’s Melody. Yashi – Sand Driver carries that same heart and passion forward, offering a peaceful yet compelling post-apocalyptic narrative centred on hope, companionship, and the open road.

Whether you’re a fan of atmospheric indie adventures, cosy crafting games, or simply love a good road trip story, Yashi – Sand Driver is definitely one to add to your wishlist!
