FEZ is a critically acclaimed puzzle-platformer available on macOS (via Steam and Epic Games Store) where players explore a mysterious world that blends 2D and 3D perspectives in unique ways. You play as Gomez, a small pixelated character whose quiet 2D life changes when he receives a magical fez that reveals his world is actually part of a larger 3D cube-shaped universe. This new ability lets you rotate the entire world around Gomez in 90° increments, uncovering hidden paths, solving clever environmental puzzles, and discovering secrets that weren’t visible before.
The goal is to collect cubes and cube fragments to restore balance to the universe. FEZ is praised for its retro-inspired pixel art, atmospheric soundtrack by Disasterpeace, and thoughtful design that encourages exploration and observation over fast-paced action. Unlike many platformers, there are no enemies or combat — falling simply resets you, letting players focus on the joy of discovery. Its open-ended structure and minimalist storytelling make FEZ a standout indie experience on Mac and other platforms.
