Don't worry, the slimes also clear me easy haha. Overlay is a really good idea. I think maybe another idea could've been having one central screen with the other smaller like a minimap. Then, I could just switch which one is on the center screen. That way, at least the player is always on the center, and your eyes too!
(Or, I keep it as is, and I just market it as the Dark Souls of weird camera gameplay)
