Monument Valley is a puzzle and indie game by Ustwo Games. The player leads the princess Ida through mazes of optical illusions and impossible objects while manipulating the world around her to reach various platforms. Monument Valley was developed over ten months beginning in early 2013 based on concept drawings by company artist Ken Wong. Its visual style was inspired by Japanese prints, minimalist sculpture, and indie games Windosill, Fez, and Sword & Sworcery, and was compared by critics to M. C. Escher drawings and Echochrome. The art was designed such that each frame would be worthy of public display.
Runs well on modern hardware.

a simple, yet abstract, aesthetically pleasing puzzle game that twists your imagination.
lovely game. the mind-bending perspective shifts paired with ambient music make the experience feel just right
A beautiful game about illusions and impossible geometry. The puzzles are not very difficult and it is split into manageable levels. I think pretty much anyone can enjoy this game.
