Monument Valley contextualizes the impossible. It creates these headache-inducing optical illusions, and asks you to navigate them as if it were merely a street. It asks you to traverse something so fundamentally impossible, so intangible, unthinkable, and then it makes a sport out of it.

Monument Valley should feel like it's bending my mind, but it doesn't. It doesn't fabricate anything, instead it builds physical, real, tactile environments through mechanical interactions in ways only a video game can.

Very excited to return to this one in the future!!
