Ever wonder just what the [[Sidekick]]/the [[Rival]]/the [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] was ''doing'' while he wasn't on screen? Here's your chance to ''live'' it.
 
Compare [[New Game Plus+]], [[Lower Deck Episode]] & [[The Rashomon]]. If, instead of a game mode, you get an entire sequel like this, it's a [[POV Sequel]]. If, instead, only the good guys get such a perspective, then you have [[No Campaign for The Wicked]].

Line 77:
* ''[[Alone in The Dark]]: The New Nightmare'' has you play as either Edward Carnby or Aline Cedrac, who each have their own path in the story.
* ''[[Star Ocean the Second Story (Video Game)|Star Ocean the Second Story]]'' allows you to play as either Claude or Rena from the beginning of the game. There are no big differences in the main storyline, however, there are certain Private Actions that aren't available to both characters, and certain characters you can only recruit as one or the other.
* ''[[Battlezone 1998 (Video Game)|Battlezone 1998]] II'' forks about halfway through. You are given a [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]] between loyalty to [[General Ripper|Braddock]] who is your direct superior and promoted you to [[The Dragon]] just prior to the mission or loyalty to [[A Mother to Her Men|Shabayev]] who WAS your direct superior before {{spoiler|defecting after Braddock made a [[Never Found the Body|failed]] attempt on her life and made it look like the Scions did it}}. The Braddock half is [[Gainax Ending|only three missions long and leaves several unanswered questions]] (how the heck did the Scions get their hands on {{spoiler|a planet-destroying superweapon}}?) whereas the Shabayev half is triple the length and fully explains what the Scions want (turns out {{spoiler|the superweapon in question is actually a harmless terraforming device and is aimed ''at the Dark Planet'', not Earth as Braddock says}}).
** A good example of the difference between the two is the fate of Manson. The Braddock arc starts right off with you {{spoiler|smoking him out of hiding after he proclaimed Braddock a traitor; his body is found a few hours after the battle}}. The Shabayev arc however has you {{spoiler|at one point relieving the siege on his base and organizing his forces into a counterattack; you also happen to get evidence of Braddock doing background deals with the Scion traitors who only appear in this arc and mess things up a few times}}.
* The survival horror game ''Kuon'' lets you choose between two main characters, however it is only after completing both characters storyline that the final character and the ending is unlocked.
