FP Tetris

Dear Firstpersontetr­is.com.

I am slightly confused about the title of your game. All though i thoroughly enjoyed the game, the title confused me.

What is the reasoning, behind classifying it as "first-person"? The entire perceived room, with the console and television set, is spinning in regard to the Tetris block, currently being dropped.
Which would mean that (unless one would actually twist and turn, and stand on one's head while playing it) the perspective is not from the person playing the game, in the virtual room, but rather the Tetris block itself.
It is therefore my reasoning, that since the viewing location is not acually inside the tetris block, but rather a distance outside the block, it should be classified as "third-person"

Would you not agree?

Sincerely yours, OscurO.

Thank you for your concerns. I have recently been confronted with several accusations along these “third-person” lines. Trust me when I tell you that the name of the game was not conceived in ignorance.

Firstpersontetr­is (F.P.T.) may at first appear as though it is experienced from the perspective of that individual playing the game within the boundaries of the constructed game or from the perspective of the “in-game player”, it is in fact a specific construct that allows the metaviewer or "you" to perceive the experience from the line piece’s perspective. I am not sure how versed you are in the restricted cognitive experience of a tetris line-piece, but I can assure you that they have a limited understanding of their surroundings. You will just have to trust that I have done a great deal of research in human/line-piec­e relations. Therefore, it became necessary to construct a worldview of the line-piece according to the shared experience between the line-piece itself and a secondary viewer, or the in-game player. In this case the “in-game player” provides the necessary narrative perspective to allow the player to fully experience the line-piece’s reality. Hence the proper perspective of the game is in fact that of the line-piece constructed with the additional narrative input or limited omniscience of the secondary viewer by utilizing a "first person limited omniscient" perspective. You might ask then, "well then why didn't you just call it 'firstpersonlim­itedomniscientt­etris.com" and I would respond with "that is a terrible name for a game," and so I used some creative license.
