Clever Perspective
posted 12 hours ago #
This trailer for Cassette Boy does a good job of showing off the indie games clever use of perspective. The description says: CASSETTE BOY is a multi-award-winning and nominated RPG based on puzzles inspired by the rules of quantum physics, where the world around us vanishes when it is out of sight.
Some obvious overlaps with Fez in terms of the aesthetic and the mechanic but with its own special twist. Would play. Looks great.
Screenbound is another one doing some wild things with perspective. In the trailer you can see that it's a game about playing a 2D platformer game where your journey may be stifled or progressed by actions also taken in a 3D version of the same world. This looks very smart and also I am positive it would melt my brain.
Toodee and Topdee has been out since 2021 but it's new to me! Yet another very clever bit of gameplay that involves 2D vs 3D shifting; tho this one is more akin to titling a gameboard. Absolutely delightful and apparently also on Switch.
