Miegakure is a 4-dimensional puzzle platformer by Marc ten Bosch (I only just discovered it when he mentioned it in a talk I'm watching). It plays like a 3D platformer, but by pressing a button you can swap one of the dimensions out with the fourth one.
It's a bit confusing to understand through the trailer, but I'm sure that how it works is much more apparent when you actually play it. Understanding and utilising 4D without being able to visualise it seems like an extremely interesting and mind-exercising experience. 4D space is something that has interested me before and I think a game in which it exists is a really cool idea.
It's not out yet but I'm following the blog, thought it might interest some people here.
There's also an xkcd comic about it:
