  ScreenCheat. Someone else posted a link above, bit I used to play it with friends. You play by viewing other players screens.

    Oh that’s actually funnily enough the most applicable 2nd person mechanic.

  Actually i remember some short indie game based on this.

  Sounds like a fun idea for a game jam or something

    I think it might be a result of a gamejam? I can’t remember but i remember how unique that sound, but i can’t find that one i saw though. I googled a bit and it seems a lot of indie dev attempt on this idea.

  2nd person is watching your character from the viewpoint of someone else.

  3rd person is when you see your character from the viewpoint of someone who doesn’t exist.

  Mario 64 is played through the viewpoint of a guy in a cloud with a camera. Which makes it 2nd person.

  If the character wasn’t there it would be third person (like the side scrolling Mario games)

    Can’t seems to find it now, but there’s a lot of attempt on this idea though, so we might actually saw a different game. I remember seeing it in early or mid 2010s.

      I also remember something like it around that time. There were definitely a few YouTubers playing it against eachother. Iirc you could see all the other player viewpoints, but not your own.
