Escher-esque Game (Illusionary Physics)

My colleague Rick Williams just found an excellent game called Echochrome which is coming soon to PS3 and PSP. It is very reminiscent of Escher’s work, the difference here is that you must complete the illusion yourself by rotating the 3D-space to allow the inhabitants of the world to complete the puzzles.

Below is a video of the engine that forms the basis of this game… it’s called Objective Locative Environment System:

Any info when it's going to be available in Europe?

Afraid not, I'm not sure it will even make it to Europe, luckily PSP games are not region locked.

That is just the sort of game that you wont be able to put down. Many a good few (work) hours to be spent on it no doubt.

I'm currently working on a game (Mystic Mine) that uses the same concept as the endless stairs from Escher. See http://www.mysticmine.com
