About this gameFull description from Steam
Manifold Garden is a game that reimagines physics and space. Rediscover gravity and explore a beautiful Escher-esque world of impossible architecture. Geometry repeats infinitely in every direction, and falling down leads you back to where you started. Manipulate gravity to change your perspective and see the world in new ways. Master the rules of the universe and restore a barren world with vegetation and life. An expansive and visually striking world filled with mind-bending puzzles. Manipulate gravity to gain new perspectives and walk on any visible surface. Explore expansive architectural structures that repeat infinitely. Capture striking and beautiful images with Photo Mode. Manifold Garden has been nominated for several awards, including “Best Debut” from the Game Developers Choice Awards and BAFTA Game Awards. It was selected as one of the New Yorker’s best games of 2019.
