Sadly didn't get the first puzzle, what should happen if you press E ?
got on the second floor, took the whole bookshelf suddenly and the game freezed shortly after
I think the idea with two screens and two levels at once is very novel and crazy enough that I didn't see anyone try it before this way. It needs a little bit more to really lift off in my opinion.
For example, if it was a first person shooter, you would have to:
1. be constantly aware of enemies and obstacles on both screens
2. not shoot a friend on one screen while shooting an enemy on another
Or if it was a pure puzzle game, a step towards the solution on one screen could be a step away from the solution on another screen.
Right now, it's more of an exploration game, and while it's fun to explore two worlds at once, splitting the screen breaks immersion which is important for those kind of games.
Anyway, it's definitely an idea worth exploring more!
Catched bug with hiding cursor after death witch cause required game restart (on start menu no cursor after death)
Nice idea of splitted screen with different architecture, sound is also awesome
Might be usefull to add some tips or instruction for more casual players if you want increase your auditory
