Until now, the second-person perspective has been Pig #3.
We assume itshouldexist because we have plenty of first- and third-person games.
But where are the second-person games?
What would a second-person game even look like?
Teddy Is The Second Person
Out of Sight offers one potential answer.
2, and When You Reach Me.
so you can see the environment, you rely on Teddy.
This is great for taking in the world, but not for solving puzzles.
If Sophie is holding Teddy, she can’t interact with anything in the environment.
I was especially curious because Out of Sight began life as a student project.
The proof-of-concept was made in six weeks and was only about 20 minutes long.
How did Hallros feel about attempting something so new with so little experience?
“[It was a] stupid choice,” he laughs.
So that’s the only reason why we decided to go for it, you know?
Because we wanted to make something that stands out and has this unique feeling to it, right?…
And of course we jumped into the deep end, right?
Keep Your Eye On The Bear
Out of Sight seems to be building on Little Nightmares.
Sophie is attempting to escape from a sinister mansion where she is held captive by evil adults.
Make too much noise and she, or her henchman, will descend on you.
“That’s been one of the big struggles, to be fair.
But it’s also very fun because you oughta always consider where Teddy Bear is going to end up.
That’s not always the case later on.
There can be moving parts and stuff.
The puzzles get more complex,” Hallros says.
So it’s always the focus of getting Sophie the girl and the teddy bear forwards together."
Out of Sight is not too far out of sight.
It’s aiming for a release this spring.
Blood Typers is Typing of the Dead meets Resident Evil, and it’s brilliant.
