What is FEZ (by POLYTRON)?

FEZ is a 2D platformer indie game developed by the Canadian game development company POLYTRON and published in 2012. The story follows the main character, Gomez, and his adventures in exploring intricate and mystifying worlds after discovering a magical, reality-bending fez hat.

Gameplay in FEZ involves traditional platforming elements but also incorporates the unique mechanic of rotating between different dimensions - the player can rotate between 4 different 2D perspectives to solve puzzles and fully explore each level. Many puzzles and secrets require the player to think in multiple dimensions.

The presentation of FEZ revolves around the central themes of perspective and perception. The visuals feature clean, pixelated graphics with bold colors and creative designs. The soundtrack by artist Disasterpeace is atmospheric and complements the sense of mystery in FEZ's world.

FEZ was a critical success upon release for its innovative game design and charming character. The cryptic puzzles and hidden secrets in FEZ have kept players engaged long after completing the main campaign. Many cite FEZ as an inspiration for thinking outside the box in game development.
