7th Dimensional Tourist, for Troika Background Jam 2024

An entry for the Troika Background Jam 2024. Originally published as part of the 'Invertia' expansion, available on my main itch.io page.

'There are more worlds than these.' Is a common phrase across all the multitude of opened spheres, thronging with multiversal travellers. Perhaps in an attempt to stave off the inevitable disappointment of how shallow infinity can seem at times. Many who trek out across the madness of it all are often searching for ‘themself’, after all; and can become quite frustrated when throughout literally limitless possibilities… they still cannot find it.

How cheering for them, then… to meet a visitor from somewhere wholly separate. From a plane several steps above or below even the wisest mind's scope. Someone to whom 3-dimensional space and time that only goes forward are frightfully novel concepts. 

You left your intangible, indescribable dimension against all better advice. Taking on a shape and form you certainly hoped would be inconspicuous among all these strange, lumpen creatures and their ‘laws’ of physics and geometry. It is endlessly fascinating, to lumber amongst them… trying to remember which way counts as ‘up’ and what ‘breathing’ is for.
