My hypothesis is if you found a way to send “sensory” data about points in the 4D universe to a brain, perhaps a very young brain, that brain could develop an intuition for 4D space and motion.
Brains are incredible, I bet it might work even with an adult, it would just take some getting used to.
Another thought I had (more of a weird experiment than a game) would be to feed the view from a 3d camera into a VR headset such that you can see all of it at once. Obviously it would be weird and everyone would look funny, but I bet if you stayed in long enough your brain would get used to it and it would start to look/feel normal
Now I want a 5- or 6-dimensional VR game where head tracking rotates the camera in one set of dimensions while the right stick rotates it in another
