  That's plenty of time to add 3 new levels, incorporate an in-game purchase system, and the 5 other items the PM just dropped on the devs. No, we will not need to push the release date to add these new features. The features will be fully ready.

  It's a single guy working on it as far as I know, and he has a good devlog on that same Youtube channel. He apparently had to rewrite most graphics libraries to shade things according to hyperbolic geometry. Looks like it should be coming out soon, though (hopefully).

Exactly the same.

Playing such games changes our perception. I have been playing HyperRogue (https://www.roguetemple.com/z/hyper/ https://www.roguetemple.com/z/hyper/). After a few hours of playing it straight, experience of the "normal" worlds changes. It holds for other games as well. That said, I don't believe that a DMT trip would improve performance in the game. Or maybe a bit, but by increasing neuroplasticity.

  This looks like just the kind of game I’m interested in! Do you have other recommendations for unique (/mathy) games?
