3D Movement

Don't Starve Elsewhere introduces real 3D movement, including jumping and falling. That is a change from the top-down movement of the original Don't Starve games, and it is one of the systemic pillars Klei has called out directly in the game's announcement materials.

Implications

• The multi-tiered world is only possible because the character can move up and down through it.

• Platforming-style encounters become viable for the first time in the series.

• Fall damage and vertical pathing enter the survival decision space.
