Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a Non-Euclidean space? If you are a geometry nerd like me, you probably have. This game is the closest we are likely to get to that experience any time soon! It allows us to explore true curved space, and not just a bunch of invisible portals that are still Euclidean. And on top of that, we can experience the space in immersive VR! What more could you want?

I did feel some slight dizziness from the spacial distortions in VR, but it was not enough to distract from my enjoyment of the game. Those who are more prone to motion sickness, may wish to play in desktop mode instead. Although I highly recommend the VR experience, if you can stomach it.

I was able to complete most of the game in VR, but I struggled to finish some of the in-game tasks. I especially struggled with the drone race and the snowball fight. Fortunately I was able to complete them in desktop mode, and then continue in VR. And you will want to 100% this game, in order to see everything and get the best possible ending.

I have been a fan of CodeParade on YouTube for a while, so I might be a bit biased. But I still think that Hyperbolica is the best visualization of Non-Euclidean geometry I have ever seen. I'm still amazed at how he managed to render curved space in real time, despite watching his dev-logs. It truly is a marvel!
