It's correct, but I meant spatial dimensions.
There are some 4d experimental games. One is a space flight Sim that allows players to move in a fourth dimension, entering and exiting physical space in a semi physics-compatible way. It's really fun and it tends to break your brain a little.
What's the game?
Itch io has several, I can't find the name of the one I tried like 10 years ago. It was just a proof of concept, a freespace like fighter.
There's also one that turns Minecraft into 4 dimensions, or it at least cribs the aesthetic of Minecraft. I forget which. It's been a few years.
According to some physics theories, we're living in a world with at least 11 dimensions.
But we can only sense and understand 3.
Fyi, string theory, which is a popular, well known theory that assumes 11 dimensions, doesn't really have that much appeal in the scientific community. It's still fun to talk about tho
