Hyperbolica is a traversal game where the whole world bends the laws of physics. As you move around, everything seems to shift and fold in on itself as you discover space doesn't work like it does in the real world. It's a game created in non-Euclidean terrain, which in layman's terms means it bends your mind as you are forced to reevaluate your ability to do even the simplest tasks like get from A to B.

The land of Hyperbolica, as its name suggests, is a place that doesn't follow conventional geometric rules and instead seems to bend and distort perspective. Navigation at first seems almost impossible, as objects shrink and grow in seemingly indecipherable ways but as you acquaint yourself with the mechanics that define the world, you grow in confidence.

Spend enough time here and you find you can more easily move through the world and even explore some of the experiences on offer. This leads to interacting with characters and objects you find. You eventually earn a map, which helps you locate and get to points of interest.

While it's light on story, the strange and unique geometry results in a game that challenges the way you are used to seeing, interacting and moving through the world. Like Edwin Abbott Abbott's Flatland, it's a chance to imagine a world where dimensions and geography are completely different from our own. Unable to reliably interpret what you see of the world leads you to lean on other ways to perceive the environment and critically assess the information you think your eyes provide.
