Enter at your own risk, for inside monsters lurk in the shadows; laws of nature are treated as mere suggestions; and forbidden knowledge is everywhere to be found… Features: Mad Science : Experiment with 100+ distinct game mechanics, including parallel dimensions, time manipulation, modular game rules, monster manoeuvring, and much more… Tons of Content: 1000+ handcrafted puzzles across 50+ hours of playtime. Quality Over Quantity: There is no "filler" in Twofold Tower , with every puzzle exploring a unique idea.

A Great Soundtrack (Used Sparingly): Twofold Tower has a full, original soundtrack, consisting of haunting melodic electronic music – which has to be triggered manually at various points throughout the game. Level Editor and Sharing: The game comes with a fully featured, built-in level editor, and support for downloading user-made levels. Lovingly Handcrafted: Twofold Tower is entirely handcrafted, and is the result of over seven years of development by a single person. Narrative: The narrative is an integral part of Twofold Tower , and is made up of three distinct parts: Dialogue , in which a handful of colourful characters try to come to terms with the world having ended. Satirical snippets , which flesh out the broken fantasy world in which the game takes place, written in a style reminiscent of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . Poetry , largely centred around the perils and limits of reason, and employing a mixture of sincerity and humour. While never obscure or difficult just for the sake of it, the narrative does respect your intelligence, and brings together ideas from many different areas, including science, philosophy, spirituality, and religion.

The books were written in parallel to the development of Twofold Tower , and are carefully formatted, and available in both PDF and EPUB formats. For ethical, educational, and preservationist reasons, the source code and assets of Twofold Tower will eventually become source-available, upon which a copy of the source code will also be included with the game. However, there will still be usage restrictions ensuring that Twofold Tower remains commercially viable. Thanks for reading to the end!
