About Another Perspective
Another Perspective is a puzzle platformer following the very confusing adventure / slow existential meltdown of someone looking for something that they don't remember.
This person(?) has the power to swap minds with what appears to be other versions of himself who all see the world in different ways. Where one pair of eyes sees a bottomless pit, another might not. Where one sees a locked door, another sees a key. To change perspective is to change reality!
Combining these "realities" allows him to progress - or to at least do something that resembles progress - however this new found power leaves him deeply confused. Who is he? Why does he have this super power that doesn't make any sense? If he's swapping between bodies which body is really his? Why does he keep having to pick up keys and unlock doors? Where is he going? Is he even going anywhere? Does he even exist? What is he looking for?
The answers to some, all and none of these questions will be probably definitely not be maybe found by playing the game.

It's one of the few puzzle games I've played where I walked away feeling pretty dang good at the experience. Very recommended.1 found this helpful
Another Perspective is a clever little puzzle platformer that borrows the aesthetic of Braid while carving out its own identity through its body-swapping mechanic — switching between copies of yourself to use them as platforms is a genuinely satisfying concept that keeps the puzzles feeling fresh. The difficulty ramps up nicely without ever becoming hair-pullingly frustrating, and the introspective narrative text, while occasionally veering into shallow philosophy, adds a layer of charm that grew on me as I progressed. It's short — expect around an hour or two for the main story — but the Mystery mode offers additional challenge and a more complete ending for those who want more. If you enjoy puzzle platformers and can grab this at a fair price, it's well worth the experience.
This game is so freaking fun!! It really makes you think and the "dialogue" is quite philosophical. One thing I really love is the creativity in the secrets and the achievements. They gave me a legit challenge!
Nice short puzzler (Unless you want to grind out for the 12 minute achievement...) IF I was to be VERY nitpicky, I'd say the jump could be a teensy smidge higher. It would make everything feel a lot smoother on the platforming side.
Another Perpective is a nice puzzle platformer about swapping bodies with yourself alongside introspective digressions from a cool British indie designer, who also films coding tutorials. There's a bunch of secret achievements to uncover that I didn't find in my hour long playthrough of the base game so I may head back later for a completionist run. For a more conventional, but still philosophical, take on the general theme, I highly recommend The Swapper.
I am you, and you are me. Carry that with you, wherever you go.
