Hocus is one of those 'impossible geometry' games like Monument Valley, but it focuses purely on the puzzles without any narrative distraction. It’s incredibly relaxing, thanks to the lack of timers or lives. You just sit there and trace the path until your brain finally clicks and sees the solution.
The minimalist aesthetic is beautiful, and the 100+ levels provide a good amount of challenge. Some of the later levels are truly mind-bending. It’s the perfect game to play when you want to unwind but still give your brain a light workout.

Hocus is a minimalist puzzle game that challenges your perception of space. Inspired by the impossible drawings of M.C. Escher, the game tasks you with moving a small red cube to a target hole along the edges of geometric shapes that shouldn't exist in 3D space. With over 100 hand-crafted levels and no time limits or pressure, hocus. offers a meditative yet mentally stimulating experience for puzzle lovers.
If you get stuck, try following the path with your finger without tapping. Because the shapes are 'impossible,' the path often connects in ways that your eyes don't immediately recognize as logical.

Swipe in the direction you want the cube to move. The cube follows the lines of the shape, transitioning across 'impossible' joints to reach the goal.
The game does not have a formal hint system, encouraging players to explore the geometry and solve puzzles at their own pace.
