That was the selling point behind this game "The Medium". The copy was the most tone-deaf thing, gloating about its one-of-a-kind patented mechanic.
My first reaction, especially as an aspiring indie dev: "Well, I'm not touching that just on principle."
Jerks.
That was the one where the chick could switch to white hair and swap between "worlds" just like Silent Hill but slightly different?
Yeah, except I think you could play two characters in parallel (universes?) at the same time.
Seemed neat. Shame they had to encumber it like that.
It also basically screams "If not for this super amazing novel mechanic...this is nothing special!"
