Invented in 1838, Stereoscopy is a technique used for creating the illusion of three-dimensional depth from images on a two-dimensional plane.

Intertwine.  Speaking the word makes one think of grape vines in a vineyard, snakes, tangles and knots.  It almost never has positive connotations and reminds us that dealing with something that is intertwined with something else means that as simple as the issue seems at first, it’s going to get very complicated very quickly.  Welcome to the world of Intertwine.

Let’s give you the lowdown on the plot:
