Screenbound Preview: A dual-screen platformer that shifts perspectives between handheld and TV
By

Lightly browned and well buttered. A solid pick from the rack.
Summary
Screenbound is a unique dual-screen platforming game from developer Crescent Moon Games that requires players to shift between a small handheld screen (Game Boy-style) and a larger TV screen to navigate its world. The preview explores how the game builds on the tradition of perspective-shifting puzzle-platformers like Super Paper Mario, The Witness, and Fez, requiring trust and careful decision-making as players move between the two screens to solve puzzles and progress.

Super Paper Mario, The Witness and Fez all occupy a similar space in my head, a space that focuses on game worlds that require shifting vantage points and a surprising amount of trust by us to make sure that we're confident in our actions
Is the move we're about to make going to lead to the next step, or to some complete fall off of an edge, or a heavy mistake in a puzzle?
