Being 2D in a 3D world isn’t all bad. With puzzle platformer Perspective, your flat avatar can actually take advantage of its multidimensional surroundings. Utilizing an innovative core gameplay mechanic, the player moves a first-person camera, shifting perspective in the 3D environment that allows your 2D avatar to cheat impossible gaps and distances.

Potential ideas included setting the game inside “a modern art museum, purgatory, a space station, an underwater building, or the 3D character’s insane interpretation of a real environment.”
