I'm surprised by all the dismissive comments here. This is a really clever and thought-provoking idea, and I believe that is the spirit in which it is intended (rather than as an "actual" game).

When I want a game where a plumber gets warped into a mushroom kingdom and fights turtles by jumping on them, I want realism, dammit!

Game of Thrones style?

It’s a brilliant, creative idea and the small-mindedness here is disappointing.

Well I think it's shit. It's a not-so-interesting view of the kind of perspective change you get from something like http://tom7.org/zelda/ and I resent the suggestion that the reason I don't like it is my own smallmindedness. I have many flaws but that isn't one of them.

You can't call all criticism as small-mindedness.

This might be brilliant and creative to you, but to some this is just not that impressive, technical or otherwise.

You appear to be hallucinating. Where did I do that?

> to some this is just not that impressive

Of course I agree with that point because, you know... opinions

It seems more like an elaborate joke to me. I can see people being annoyed after being teased with the notion of a new game, only for it to be a gag.

It's reducing a 2d game into a 1d one which kind of nauseating -- I thought by the title it would be like Super Mario Oyssey with a first person camera.
