n FEZ, you play as Gomez, a 2D creature living in what he believes is a 2D world, until a strange and powerful sentient artifact reveals to him the existence of a mysterious third dimension!
FEZ is a 2D platformer set in a 3D world. The world is 3D, but you always play from 2D perspectives. Each 3D world has 4 Sides. You can freely “rotate” your point of view in 90° increments between these 2D perspectives. This way, you will be able to navigate complex 3D environments, solve puzzles and find secrets!
The goal of the game is simply to explore and find treasures! FEZ features a huge open world, dense with secrets and mysteries. There are many different areas, all of which can be explored in any order. There are no enemies in FEZ. No bosses, no combat. In fact, no conflict of any kind. You can die, but there is no penalty for doing so.
FEZ aims to create a non-threatening world rich with ambiance, a pleasant place to spend time in.
FEZ was developed by Polytron, and is available on Xbox Live Arcade.
