About Perspective
✦ AI summary
Control two perspectives simultaneously—a 3D first-person camera and a 2D avatar on your screen—to solve spatial puzzles by repositioning the world around you. This inventive perspective-shifting puzzler lets you freely manipulate 3D space to create new paths and solutions that wouldn't exist in traditional spatial puzzle games.
Perspective is a first person puzzle game developed by students at DigiPen in 2012. Now, for the first time, the game comes to Steam, updated for modern computers.
In Perspective, the player has two modes of control: a first person camera moving in 3D space, and a 2D avatar constrained to your screen. In order to get the 2D avatar to the exit at the end of the level, the 3D player needs to move around to create new 2D paths. Unlike other spatial puzzle games like Crush or Fez, Perspective allows the 3D player to move around freely, opening up new ways to use perspective tricks to solve puzzles in 2D.
This game was developed as a student project at DigiPen Institute of Technology and was created for educational purposes only. Please check out our publisher page for more information.

It’s always exciting to come across a game that is free [i]and[/i] has overwhelmingly positive reviews. Admittedly, when I looked at it on the store page, I loved the concept but thought the game looked a bit amateur and unpolished so was not 100% convinced whilst booting it up. Well, this is why you don’t make judgements until after you play something because I was so impressed by this game. The visuals are simple, and perhaps that was what looked ‘amateur’ to me, but in game it does just work. The game pulls a few small things out of the bag that takes it up a notch and sets it apart from other free games in my opinion. I enjoyed the introduction to the game, and the conclusion. I can’t really go into it without just ruining it for you, so seeing as this game is pretty short I would recommend you just experience the game for yourself. The perspective puzzle mechanic and the mixing of 3D and 2D space is just so good. There are a few games now that use perspective as part of the puzzles, but nothing like this as far as I know. This concept feels unique and it’s really well done. The game progresses puzzle by puzzle from a kind of hub world, which I enjoyed. Love a hub world, me.…6 found this helpful

If you haven't played and are reading this rn, immediately STOP and go play it. Peak puzzle game. Saw someone mention it online and downloaded it remotely. Didn't watch or read anything about it before playing. One of my favorite gaming experiences i've ever had. 10/10 thank you devs1 found this helpful
AMAZING game!!! The puzzles are fun and engaging, and the music gives you that epic feeling when your completing level. Sometimes I'll go in and out of "perspective mode" when i want to remix the music... and it's FREE?!?!? Okay, keep flexing, keep flexing... Kind of weird that it crashes with my computer sometimes... but AMAZING..... did I mention it's FREE?!?!?!?!?1 found this helpful
