The Op Cubes, also named the Optically Illusive Maze Cubes, are a short project I did for my Game Design course. They are inspired by the mesmerizing worlds of Monument Valley (2014) and Manifold Garden (2019) video games where players go on an immersive journey through fantastical structures and spaces augmented by optical illusions.

The Op Cubes challenge players to navigate marbles through multi-tiered cube planes, engaging their perceptual skills and spatial awareness. Designed to perplex cognitive and visual senses, they invite players to question present reality, where visual images often appear flattened by simultaneity.
