What Fez is
Fez is an adventure game developed by Polytron Corporation and released in 2012. It was published by Microsoft Studios. It is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, iOS, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on In House Engine.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Fez follows Gomez, a small creature who lives peacefully in what appears to be a flat, two-dimensional world. When he receives a red fez, he discovers that his world is actually one side of a larger three-dimensional space. As the fabric of that world begins to break apart, Gomez sets out to gather scattered cubes and restore order, exploring a quiet, wide-ranging landscape full of hidden secrets and the remnants of an ancient civilization that once tried to understand its own dimensions.

It is played from a side view perspective. Its themes are fantasy and open world. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. There are 12 achievements to unlock.

How long it takes, and what that costs
The main story runs about 7.3 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 12.7 hrs, roughly 1.7 times the length of the critical path.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8Ghz or equivalent, 2 GB RAM and 2nd Generation Intel Core HD Graphics (2000/3000), or dedicated GPU with OpenGL 3.0 Support. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
