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 an experimental platformer. The player avatar moves in a 2D space that transforms when the player changes perspective in 3D space. The player needs to use this mechanic navigate the 2D avatar to a goal in order to progress from level to level.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Perspective is praised by players as a clever and mind-bending puzzle game with well-designed challenges that recall Portal and Talos Principle, featuring quick pacing once players grasp the mechanics. The main complaint is that the game is quite short, though players still consider it a worthwhile and well-made experience worth playing through.

Incredibly clever game. Once you get the hang of it, you can move through the puzzles quite fast. But it is still a mind bending experience. Definitely worth a play through, and not a bad way to introduce someone to puzzle games.

Phenomenal game, not very long but absolutely incredible! The puzzles remind me of Portal or Talos Principle.
