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.
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

Educational yes. Also fun 🤩 looking forward to seeing more of this in the future!
How is this not the most played VR game?. Oh boy. This game.
I think the best way to capture the true awe I experienced while playing is to give an anecdote about my first few minutes in the actual Hyperbolic space. I coincidentally wandered over to the maze section and about thirty seconds into walking around I was completely knocked off my a$s when I realized that four right turns don't get you back to where you started. I was giggling like a schoolgirl for who knows how long after that, especially because I had, several times mind you, said to myself "No, that's not how that works. Look I'll show you" and then proved myself wrong. The best part is, the game just kept doing that! I would come across something that seemed pretty straightforward, and then when I actually approached it, it would completely blow my mind. Especially that part in the NEMO, when you got there (You'll know when you do.) you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Just stunning.
And the ending. Oh my god. I've never felt such fear just moving around. It felt like I was moving through an Alex grey painting. In fact, I actually had difficulty getting to the end because I couldn't bring myself to deal with the weird space. When I say "fear" I mean it. I really felt like a stupid monkey being shown a glimpse of the 4th dimension, it was TERRIFYING!!
However...there are a few bugs I'd like to mention, mostly because I want to see this game refined into the most pristine VR experience possible, so here goes:
- When closing out of the menu near interactable objects, I would accidently use them when I didn't mean to.
- The draw distance is really iffy. I get that rendering this type of stuff is weird, but things blatantly appeared in and out of reality.
- When using the spring in the farm section, if you look straight forward while turning, you can kinda see the two hemispheres break apart for a split second. If you saw the video he did on Projecting Space, you'll see what I mean. It's nothing horrendous, but it kinda broke emersion for a while.
- When you have your map open in the NEMO, the eye piece doesn't follow you anymore. Which makes sense since you can see where the eye is pointing on the map, but I feel like if you made it so that you couldn't tell *where* the eye is looking in the map, you could fix it.
- (Not really a bug, but something that peeved me a little) The transition at the end of the game, when you go to "the area" (trying not to spoil anything) it gave me a really bad scare. I thought my game just crashed, so when everything jumped back in and it was as weird as it was, I really had to collect my composure. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, since the juxtaposition was really stunning once I finished pissing my pants, but I still think it could've been handled somewhat better.
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!
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.
So unique. This is such a unique experience in vr. I haven’t finished just yet but what I’ve seen I’m impressed by.

Great game. I love this game. It's one of the most unique games on the quest. It's open world in a totally original world with a totally original concept that will change your perspective... literally.
Absolutely worth full price. Or get it 25prcnt cheaper (the comma is a dot)
Amazing game! (+25% off). This game is mind melting and confusing but very fun! I played for a couple hours straight and finished it, but I think there are multiple endings but I don’t know. This game gave me headaches often even though I don’t usually get any playing vr.
25% off link instructions Go to chrome (or whatever web browser you use) and type in this link (without the space before the .com) https://www.oculus. com/appreferrals/Origamiwizard17/4873486596022103/?utm_source=2 Then sign in and press accept. Once you’re in checkout it will automatically add the code to the order, bringing the price down a bit. Thanks for reading!
Like job simulator on dmt. 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
Not just a Hyperbolic-Space-Simulator. This really an amazing experience and more than that it is an interesting adventure game with 100 of npcs to talk to and actually hard challenges. It usually runs just fine on my Quest 1, but for some of the fast paced time trials, a slight lag was noticeable. There is definitely also some room for improvement in regards to VR integration, it slightly too often snaps the camera to some weird angle and the controls don’t always feel too comfortable. Overall definitely still worth it, the experience of the space itself is amazing and the storyline takes you thru funny bits and an unexpected ending.
Brilliant mind bending ideas. It's a unique game and a fantastic technical achievement from a small indie studio. There really is nothing else like the experience of playing it. The way that it plays with the concept of space is mind bending fun.

改善点 でも、全体的には、いいゲームだと思います。
投稿者:box120
maybe an improvement. maybe you should improve turning your screen thingy so it’s smooth, why i want you to improve that turn thingy? because it kinda hurts my brain tbh, but overall, good game
