Miegakure is a platform game where you navigate a four-dimensional world to perform miraculous feats and solve puzzles.
Miegakure is a puzzle-platforming game that lets you explore and interact with a four-dimensional world. The fourth dimension in this game is not time, it works just like the first three: it is a mathematical generalization (x, y, z... and w?)
You see three dimensions at a time and at the press of a button one of the dimensions is exchanged with the fourth dimension, allowing for 4D movement.
I wanted to make a game that would take place in a universe that was a 4D extension of our regular 3D universe. What if the universe actually had four dimensions, but we didn't know it? This game show what is basically the most advanced simulation of what a 4D world would look like.
Your ability to move in the fourth dimension in addition to the usual three allows you to perform miraculous feats like walk through walls, see inside closed buildings, steal objects from closed containers, make object seemingly float in mid-air, bind two separate rings without breaking them, etc...
These actual consequences of the mathematical formulation of 4D space have been imagined for more than a century but it is the first time anyone can actually perform them, thanks to the video game medium (the 1884 novella Flatland, for example, talks about the case of a 3D being able to perform what would seem to be miracles to a 2D being)
In this game the fourth dimension is not time. While time can be thought of as a dimension in its own right, it functions differently than the first three spatial dimensions, in the sense that we perceive it to always be moving forward, for example.
F.A.Q.
Is the game actually 4D?
Yes.
When will the game be out and on what platforms?
The game is currently in development and the goal is to release it in downloadable form for consoles and PC/Mac/Linux. There is no announced date and platform yet.
Is there a demo?
There is no publicly released demo at this point. There will be one when the game is released though, so please be patientThanks.
Will you release a public alpha/beta?
Public alphas/betas don't really make sense for single-player puzzle games with a story.
