In this puzzle game you'll have to restore contemporary aesthetics. Rotate the objects to fight against ugly graphics from the 70's The universe was safe and aesthetically pleasing. Until the evil Orthochaotic Virus added a dimension. The Rogue Axis dimension!!! The vectors and quaternions became separated from their superstate. This separation of rotations created ugly graphics from the 70’s. The simple geometric shapes turned to you: "the 
perspectivist" for help! Don't let them down.
