Travel through Hyperbolica, a true Non-Euclidean curved space like you've never experienced before.

Hyperbolic space allows more volume to fit in the same 'space' than you'd expect. This allows you to explore enormous areas while taking very little time to walk anywhere. Building a mental map of your surroundings becomes impossible. Straight lines don't stay parallel. Traversing the map can result in unexpected rotations. And many more strange consequences that make you question reality. You'll also explore spherical space, which has opposite effects. For example, a reverse-perspective: Objects appear larger the farther away they are.

It's difficult to explain, and first-hand experience is the best way to understand and build intuition about these interesting geometries. Hyperbolica was created specifically for this purpose, to break the mold and to have a fun experience in an alternative universe different from our own.

Definitely worth more than 10$

I had followed the development of this game through the dev logs, and even after seeing all that this game still surprised me. I went into this game expecting a preview of what a non-euclidean game could be like, but this is a full non-euclidean game that doesn't just rely on the novelty of curved space. Besides the beautifully rendered environment, there are tons of side quests that show the oddities of non-euclidean geometry. The dialogue is lighthearted and full of humor. I could spend hours in each area exploring the interesting landscape and looking for Easter eggs. This game is quite possibly the coolest VR game available right now. This game has more content than many games three times its price. Everyone interested in non-euclidean geometry should try out this game.

An amazing and unique experience

Experiencing hyperbolic space in VR is absolutely amazing. In Hyperbolica you walk around in a surprisingly large world and explore all the strange features of it through many quests. You can walk around in a maze and constantly lose your orientation. Or fly a drone and explore this world in three dimensions. Or talk to all the residents of Hyperbolica and help them. There's just so much to do. The graphics (and the humor) is similar to "Vacation Simulator", really good and cute. Moving around can be a bit nauseating, but as long as you walk in the direction you are looking it's fine. It would be really cool, if you could build stuff yourself (maybe with a 3D paintbrush), though I haven't even explored everything. All in all it's an incredible and very unique game for a very low price.

Incredible

This game throws your brain for a straight loop. I can play VR for hours on end without needing to take a break. Everytime I find a crystal here I need to come back to reality because this game just messes with every sense you have. Incredible game and would recommend 10 out of 10

10/10 Mind Melting Game!

I am not usually one to get motion sick or get a headache in VR, but this game was the first time I've ever had any experience like that. After about an hour of playing, I got a small headache, but it was a good kind of headache, the kind that came with understanding. The Hyperbolic world is so cool and being able to be put inside such a place and interact with it really helps me comprehend the concept this game uses at it's core. Props to the developer for being able to translate this geometry to VR, I had a BLAST!

This game is wild af. The dev actually made a custom unity engine that runs in hyperbolic and spherical dimensions. Soooo mind bendy. Not for you if you don't have good vr stomach but cannot recommend enough if you're interested in seeing what other space curvature would actually look like. Getting thru the base game is a fairly short 4-5 hr experience but theres also collectibles to be gained thru cool minigames like skiing or flying a drone (very disorientating in hyperbolic space) Strangest, coolest game I've played in ages. Well done
