I wanted to base my game concept around the Perception of Reality, this gave me the idea to look into split personalities, looking at how one persons reality can change based on their perception; therefore, one person with multiple personalities may see things differently dependent on how they feel.

I came up with a game mechanic that allows you to 'switch personalities', altering the world around you and maybe even the player properties. Therefore, the player would have to utilise this switch mechanic in order to complete puzzles and progress through the platforming sections of the game.
To further my Idea I decided the world should change art styles to fit the personality also. For
