About the game
Point of View is a new cooperative and communicative puzzle game series. It impresses with an ingeniously simple game principle with high play value. The “slimmed down” test game is a first taste in mini format Four large folding maps show you a hidden object scene in a cool 3D style. But: Each folding plan shows this scene from a different angle. And: Each of you only gets to see one folding plan at a time, showing each other is taboo. As a result, no one has a complete overview. Communication is the key to joint success! To solve the puzzles, you have to talk to each other intensively - both about what you see and about what you don't see. In four chapters, you will immerse yourself in exciting and crazy adventures and constantly face new challenges.
