Vincenzo Valerio de Terzi (1595 - 1562) was a professor of mathematics who discovered negative volume at the Pontifical Gregorian University (est. 1551 by Pope Gregory XIII).
Modern mathematicians agree Valerio de Terzi’s work was detrimental to the field and single handedly put geometry and topology back by centuries. There is, of course, no such thing as negative volume.
The following game is an interactive dramatization of Valerio de Terzi’s seminal work “Shapetraction: Approaches to Volumetric Inversion Dilation (VoID)” translated from Latin.

If the main windows build is very slow to run, or you are experiencing GPU related graphical issues, please try the compatibility build. It doesn't look quite as cool, but you can still play the whole game, use the level editor, and play others levels!
