See how your brain gets tripped up by odd angles, how light and shadows play a crucial role in your perception of the world, how you can radically shift the way you see reality, and how your brain isn’t always as honest with you as you think. Through a series of games and experiments, you’ll discover why you shouldn’t always believe what you see.
