Cool twist on the theme! good use of assets and worldbuilding-
unfortunately half way through the stool disappeared and the game crashed for me but that might have been a me problem
Good atmosphere, fun idea and good writing! well done!
IIRC it was the second room where you see the shadow, after the dialog between the book and the stand the stand dissapeared. I *was* trying to move the stand with the direction keys while the dialog was on so I guess I could maybe have queued up the movement commands in some way or moved the stand out of frame by accident!
