About Hyperbolica
Hyperbolica is a first-person adventure set entirely in non-Euclidean space, created and published by the independent developer CodeParade. It was released on Steam on 14 March 2022 after several years of development documented by its creator.
In a hyperbolic world, space expands outward much faster than ordinary space, so a small walk takes you past far more objects than you expect, and parallel lines drift apart. Spherical areas do the opposite, wrapping back on themselves so you can see the back of your own head. The game builds a whole cartoon world on these rules: a farm town, a forest, snowy slopes, a desert city and more, each with characters to meet, mini-games to try and collectibles to find. Gadgets such as a camera and a hyperbolic map help you navigate, and the puzzles only make sense once you start thinking in curved space.

Why Buy This Game?
Hyperbolica is for curious players who want a game that shows them something they have never seen. It turns abstract mathematics into a friendly, colourful place to wander, with no combat pressure and plenty of small surprises. It runs on almost any PC, and the VR mode makes the bending geometry even more striking.
