About
A labyrinth fades into view; a space you control but that holds you. Completely lost with nowhere else you could be.
Standpoint is a first-person puzzle platformer where the player possesses the ability to change the orientation of the world. Explore the labyrinth-like environment, solving puzzles and collecting secrets, in order to overcome the stages of Grief. And ask yourself, do the narrator's cryptic clues to the world hide some deeper sentiment?
With every wall potentially the floor, take advantage of the variety of ways to approach obstacles. Turn a perilous corridor of lasers into a simple pit. Break through barriers as you drift through the tunnels. Even use death to your advantage. When up can become down at any moment, will you fly or fall?Key Features:

Standpoint reviews and comments
This is one of those artsy-fartsy faux-deep puzzle games with puzzles that are more annoying than brain-teasing you'd get on itch.io for donations, except it's 10 dollars on steam for some reason.
Here's the deal with puzzle games: you don't ever want to walk into a segment and instantly know what you're supposed to do but dread having to actually do it. I had that experience many times in Standpoint.

(My stats are fake. I played offline a good ten hours) very very good game principle: designate the surface where gravity comes from.
A good cocktail of puzzles, dexterity, and orientation...
In short, I highly recommend.
