Fez is a puzzle / platform game developed by independent
software developers Polytron Corporation. The game was
initially announced by its creator, Phil Fish , on TIGSource.com
on July 17, 2007.
The plot of Fez revolves around Gomez, a two-dimensional
creature who lives in a flat, 2D world. One day, Gomez encounters a strange and mysterious artifact called the Hexahedron , which gives him a magical fez hat that allows him to perceive a third dimension. Just as Gomez begins to explore his new ability, the Hexahedron suddenly fractures and explodes, causing the world around him to glitch up and freeze.
The game " reboots" and Gomez wakes up to find that he can now explore his world in three dimensions. A floating hypercube explains that he must collect the fragments of the Hexahedron,
which have been scattered across the world, before the world is torn apart.
