Jasper Byrne (developer of Soundless Mountain) is currently applying the finishing touches to Soul Brother, a 2D platformer that focuses on the concept of possessing other characters to overcome challenges and solve puzzles. The gimmick here is that you inherit the ability of the creature that your soul transfers into, which could be anything from being able to execute double jumps, push heavy objects, fly, and even smash through breakable floor tiles to reveal hidden areas.
Though the idea of possessing other individuals in games isn't exactly new (see Oddworld), we'll know if Jasper's done any justice to it when Soul Brother is released sometime in early 2011.
