Hyperbolica
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Travel through Hyperbolica!
A true Non-Euclidean curved space like you've never experienced before! On this whimsical journey, you'll discover bizarre landscapes, solve puzzles, battle in a snowball fight, navigate a labyrinth, and much more. All with new challenges in this strange new world.
VR is also supported with OpenXR compatible headsets: Valve Index, HTC Vive, Oculus Quest 2, and Windows Mixed Reality.
How is hyperbolic space different?
Hyperbolic space allows exponentially more volume to fit in the same 'space' than you'd normally expect. This allows you to explore enormous areas while taking very little time to walk anywhere. You'll find that building a mental map of your surroundings becomes impossible. Lines can never stay parallel. Traversing the map can result in unexpected rotations. And many more strange consequences that will make you question reality. You'll also explore spherical space, which has the opposite outcomes. For example, a reverse-perspective: Objects appear larger the farther away they are.
It's a difficult concept to explain, and first-hand experience really is the best way to understand and build an 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.

Having a bug with an xbox controller plus Oculus headset.
The controls work all fine when not in VR mode. When in VR mode, the axis of the controller seems all weird with an offset. I found the Head
thumbstick direction option but it makes absolutely no difference.
I bought the Steam version but have no other ways of contacting the creators.
Obviously I want to play this game very much, devs, help?
Life hack: people usually give you free money if you offer to do quests for them. When you start out these will often be low level and maybe a bit grindy, washing a car may be a common one, also mowing a lawn, but as people begin to trust you more they may give you fetch quests. Also, if you have a proficiency in certain skills, you may be able to make this known to people, and they may have special quests for that skill, like repairing an item or constructing something. A long time ago, in the 90s (formative years of gaming slang) this was called "bob a job" as you would be given a "bob" (slang for a type of coin) in return for completing the quest.
Hi! Is a Steam key included when buying this? Also, would you consider making the soundtrack available on here too?
I get the impression that itch.io is a very friendly platform for developers and I want to support that, but currently buying the game from Steam gives a lot of benefits not available here.
Hey there, my name is Zakaria but you can call me Zak, I am a YouTuber focusing on Indie Games!
