    Someone here raise your hand and I'll pass you a steam copy of hyperrogue, an interesting and deep roguelike game set on an infinite hyperbolic 2d plane.

      I do think this guess someone gave to you that the game will not be about that much other than said walking in hyperbolic space is likely. IMO, given we've seen the character shooting some electrified-looking bubbles, done some light platforming and talking to other characters, I think it will be a mix of those things, so a mix of walking around in the hyperbolic geometry, platforming and maybe some shooting, followed with occasionally having some characters tell you what you need do to.

    A video about how the lack of engines built for hyperbolic geometry forces him to bend Unity to suit his development needs, among other technical tricks.
