Multiple point-of-view characters - an IFDB Poll
by Joan
RSS FeedInterested in games where you swap between different characters' heads (whether at will or at specific points in the story), not games where a single main character possesses different bodies or games that play with different PC-player-narrator identities. The latter are fun too, but easier to find than the former, at least for me.

| Max Blaster and Doris de Lightning Against the Parrot Creatures of Venus, by Dan Shiovitz and Emily Short 1 vote "You can switch between Max and Doris when they're in the same room.
