Nitewing presents LD30 Idea

So after a couple hours of trying to come up with an idea, I think I found one I wouldn't normally do.
The idea is to have two worlds connected through a mysterious device. This device was then fleshed out to be a Myst-like book. The book is found by the player in the basement of a church-like building in the real world. They are then teleported into a cartoonish world where they become trapped. They must then find the book and figure out how to use it to get back to the real world.
Other then that, I really have no clue. And no name yet either.

I came up with a name! I chose "Arcanium Librium" which is a modification of the phrase "Arcanum Librum". This phrase means "Mysterious Book" in Latin.

I didn't think about that.

Although mines nothing like it.

I have no clue what type of game it is. At this point, I'm not even sure it'll even be a game.
I did do a demo of the cool temple room that took me forever. It's provided in HD here:

Nice, what engine are you making this on?

I'm doing it in Unreal Engine 4.4.
Btw, I've decided to just do a demo for the jam. There's a possibility that the game will be fleshed out more after the jam because the idea sounds fun to me.

Yea, the logo was both in the task bar and in the title bar if you're observant enough.
