Stella Obscura is a sort of experiment in REAL 3D. It requires that you construct a device with which both to view and play the game. Although it is easy enough to build the viewer, you may find that playing the game irritates your eyes. I do not want anyone to harm their eyes playing a game, so if you choose to attempt this, please use discretion and don't play the game if you find it irritating.
 
From the creator of games such as Glider, Pararena and Glypha II, Stella Obscura is like nothing I have ever seen on a Mac. When the game starts out there are instructions on how to build a viewer out of cardboard so that you can get the full three-dimensional effect of the game. What is meant is that you want to split the game into two segments, one for each eye, so that you get the full 3D effect. Other than this it is just a plain old shoot-em-up. However, it is so interesting that you have to get a copy just to for yourself what is going on. I would suggest building the viewer to see if it works, and if it does this might turn out to be a big hit.
