First-person puzzler for Morpheus Super Hypercubeis another leading Morpheus game. It’s a puzzle title about twisting a block around, in three dimensions, so that it fits through holes in oncoming walls. Tension builds as new pieces are added and your simple shape spirals into an uneven mess. Virtual reality helps. You can (and will eventually need to) peer around the block to get a better sense of its construction. Certain walls turn at the last second, and while they’re telegraphed beforehand, adapting is still tricky....

Somehow I never took that same jump, even though vikings, strategy RPGs, andOregon Trailall put together in a neat little box is My Kinda Thing.
