Optica

About

Optica is a puzzle game that messes with your perception using simple shapes and clever tricks. You guide light through grids by rotating objects and finding hidden paths. Each level looks deceptively straightforward until you realize the geometry is working against you. The challenge comes from figuring out which pieces to twist and when. It's all about trial and error with a focus on spatial reasoning. This 2018 release runs on PC Mac and mobile platforms. With over 70 levels it builds on the same minimalist puzzle style as Strata but adds new mechanics. Players appreciate the clean design and the way it makes you question what you're seeing. The lack of hand-holding means some might find it frustrating but fans of tricky brain teasers will recognize the appeal.
