Check out Alterspective, an indie game created by a solo developer WaltWW, which features an unusual gameplay mechanic – a swapping perspective, making playing dynamic and engaging.
The game is an open-world adventure set in a mind-bending world, where you can switch between side-scrolling and top-down perspectives with the press of a button. You need to complete challenges, collect valuable items, and evade enemies in exciting stealth sections.

The world with five biomes is a background for an adaptive branching story with multiple endings, and it's your choice which one to follow. The narrative also implies communicating with vibrant characters, each with a unique personality and motivations. Apart from this, the gameplay path offers fun mini-games.
As shared by the developer, this core perspective-swapping mechanic required a lot of work to create. As this feature is unique, it didn't have a blueprint that could be followed from another game, and had a lot of peculiarities in the workflow that were hard to predict at the prototyping stage.
