A Slower Speed of Light is a unique first-person simulation game designed for Windows that immerses players in a 3D environment where they interact with orbs that modify the speed of light. Through its custom-built, open-source graphics engine, the game allows players to experience the effects of relativity firsthand, as they navigate a world where the speed of light approaches their own walking speed. This innovative approach to gameplay not only enhances player engagement but also serves as an educational tool for understanding complex scientific concepts.

As players collect orbs, they encounter various visual effects that illustrate the principles of special relativity. These effects include the Doppler effect, time dilation, and Lorentz transformation, all rendered in real-time with vertex accuracy. The game encourages exploration and mastery, allowing players to share their experiences on social media. A Slower Speed of Light blends accessible gameplay with theoretical physics, creating an engaging experience that is both entertaining and informative.
