The Monument Valley
The android puzzle game A Monument Valley made by Ustwo, the game mechanic behind is about using the touch screen to command the character where to go, but the environments can trick the players with obstacles translating from background to foreground or foreground to background (The Monument Valley, Digital Game, 2014). The artistic inspiration for monument valley was the graphical artwork of M.C. Esher and the work that game developers taken was 'Waterfall' lithograph (1961) (The Monument Valley, Digital Game, 2014). The use of his graphical artwork made the game very effective for the gamers to engage and get tricked by its illusion design (The Monument Valley, Digital Game, 2014).
