WARNING: This experiment looks best on a window with the rough dimensions of a standard laptop/desktop computer screen. It will not work on mobile/touchscreen devices, as it uses mouse inputs.

While talking about methods interactive storytelling with a friend, I got curious to see what an attempt at a 2.5D style using background elements with different speeds to simulate parallax would look like using HTML and CSS.

The result is far from perfect, but overall I am very satisfied. Maybe it will show up as part of a larger part of this project later, who knows!

Move your mouse around to see the parallax effect in action.
