It’s a small touch that makes the world feel a bit more fully realized outside of traditional puzzle chambers.

The second snippet showed off a chapter that was built around unfolding cubes. It looks like your standard Monument Valley level at first, with Nor exploring a twisted level that’s constructed like an
