Fans of Portal and first-person puzzlers will definitely want to check out He Who Watches

He Who Watches is an innovative new puzzle game that Draknek and Friends just revealed they're publishing, and it looks like it will melt my brain.

A gravity-defying puzzle game about exploring a vast labyrinth built around a slumbering ancient god. Here you get to jump around the walls and ceilings while you constantly rethink your perspective to solve 100s of puzzle that twist everything around you leading to every surface possibly being part of the solution.

Testing your spatial reasoning and unconventional thinking, He Who Watches promises to be challenging, innovative and immersive. The developer say that "progress often comes from sudden flashes of insight as players realise the world can be viewed - and navigated - in entirely different ways". My brain already hurts.
