Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want conventional platforming may hit a wall when familiar floor-and-wall assumptions change during traversal.
- Players seeking straightforward puzzles may stall when solving obstacles requires rethinking the world's orientation and the role of death.
- Players looking for combat-focused action may find the focus on puzzles, exploration, and movement limiting.
Our take on StandPoint
The bounce point arrives when orientation stops being a visual effect and becomes the answer to traversal. Players who rely on stable floors, walls, and predictable routes may hit the wall at the first puzzle requiring a complete spatial reframe.
What is StandPoint?
StandPoint is a first-person puzzle platformer set in a labyrinthine environment shaped by the stages of grief.
Its central mechanic lets players rotate the world's orientation, turning walls into floors and changing how obstacles can be approached. Lasers, barriers, corridors, tunnels, and falls become part of the puzzle space, while death can also be used as a gameplay tool. Players explore the labyrinth, solve environmental challenges, collect secrets, and interpret cryptic narration about the surrounding world. The environment changes with its emotional themes, and the soundtrack responds to movement. Game elements can also be used during time trials, with leaderboards tracking results.
