In all seriousness I opened this in a tab and forgot about it for three 2 days, and then went back to the tab and spent about 10 minutes pushing stuff around and had a good time. Also door opening mechanic feels really good, mantle is clever.
This is cool! I definitely think it could be something. The interactions with the doors and the cart were maybe the most interesting part. I think that kind of context switch while staying in first person is something you could build around but might be hard to make lots of bespoke interactables like those. The mantle is also pretty smooth and makes the parkour stuff a lot more managable than in most FPS games. Makes it feel more like problem solving. I like the information that the mantle indicator thing gives you but I might try to find a different visual for it.
It reminds me a little bit of this first-person physics prototype I made a while ago. I was trying to make quite granular controls and my idea was that with granular controls you could potentially make a lot of fun physics puzzles quickly. Things like packing luggage into the back of a car or stacking a bunch of stuff on top of each other. The trade-off for the granularity is that the controls would be a bit cumbersome and it would take a long time but that makes those simple puzzles a bit more meaty. What I ended up with was a lot harder to control than I intended and I gave up on making it better and just made this one level where you have to get a couch out of an apartment and down some stairs.

But the context switch with the door controls and the cart kind of reminded me of what I was originally trying to achieve. It feels like you have quite granular control so you could potentially make the player do some really fiddly task.

damn
I like that. Do more.
This is definitely something!

This is the Half-Life 3 we were all waiting for
This was a good bit of fun, could be a fun chaotic warehouse game if you want to go in that direction.

Yeah. It works. I completed it. Had some fun messing around.
