Quantized Manifolds
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Quantized Manifolds is a turn-based survival sandbox possibly combat-free roguelike with complex tessellations(of varied dimensionality), non-euclidean geometry, & portals.
Note that it is also more of a tech demo/experiment, concerned with what could be done & having the same rules/systems for all geometries & less with making specific options good.

And why not also have 3D honeycombs with height levels?
Where 3D means, of course, attempting to display volumetric information on a screen instead of respecting basic human perception.
Spherical archives
Discover libraries & open into endless archive polyhedra filled with treasures & portal technology, then toroidal trade centers.
Beyond planes & spheres
There is the hyperbolic plane, with right angled pentagons, parallel lines that diverge in new directions, fractal trees, even infinite-sided polygons.
4 dimensional euclidean space(self-explanatory)
Remember to make your house hypercubic with the entrance in a corner & everything important in the opposite corner, you won't regret it.
All supported geometries: 2d/3d/4d/5d euclidean, 2d hyperbolic, spherical, torus, E2xS/H2xS, triply periodic surfaces, & some non-manifolds(yes, really)
As of the conclusion of the discord wars & the spite crash, there is effectively no documentation for the crafting/progression, but it shouldn't be that hard to figure it out by experimenting.

Definetly really interesting but very very very confusing to play and look at
