A Game Boy styled horror game that combines first, second, and third person perspectives. As the newest employee at the Roanoke Museum of History and Wonder, beware of odd occurrences as you patrol the halls and complete your third shift.
Somebody made a whole-ass video about it a while ago, and there’s essentially two notable examples in video games.
One where there’s a chase scene where you’re the protagonist controlling your car but seen from the perspective of the antagonist (from the camera perspective you’re chasing yourself), the other is a horror game where you see yourself from the perspective of your dolls (which you carry and place)
Edit: the video I was thinking of (but it doesn’t actually have this specific example, I found that later)
Fourth person perspective is when you see you character with a camera over its shoulder. You can control the camera, but all it does is move it around the character. You need a third thumbstick to control the fourth person if you want to change the view.
