Mind Bending Timewaster 'Feign' Will Use Your Illusion

This week's roundup of time wasters will attest to how far browser-based gaming has graphically come. New platforms, such as the Unity Web Player, have given designers the ability to add the third dimension to browser games with truly astounding results. So, sit back and prepare yourself for astonishment, as this week is all about delicious eye-candy-filled gaming goodness.

The aptly titled 'Feign' is utterly devoted to messing with your perceptions. Your goal is to find nine bodies, each hidden within a surreal maze whose boundaries and barriers shift in astounding ways. The game's color scheme consists of two tones, which create an indistinct architecture and lead to some smoothly disorienting shifts in your surroundings. Finding your way through this labyrinth may not be a cakewalk, but it's certainly easier than finding the bodies hidden within it. If you find yourself at an impasse, try to remember that this is a game where nothing is as it seems, including your task.
