Playing with several keyboards and mice? Press End once everything is in place to give each window its own cursor.

Handler notes

Requires the WW_Launcher by zheka: https://github.com/zheka-100500/WW_Launcher. Credit to its author.
Download and open the Launcher then click on the mods tab, select Death's Door and install the MP mod, run your main game after that at least once.
Split-screen setup guide.
Before running this go to the Launcher servers tab and run the Death's Door server, write the number of players and the port to start it, also write the command ignoreip so that the instances can connect.
After all of that do not close the server window and launch this handler, start a game in all instances (use a different save slot per instance) and click connect in the top left corner, make sure the ip and your port match the server's (e.g. 127.0.0.1, port 7777).
If you use keyboards and mice after all the instances have launched, resized and positioned correctly, press the END key once to lock the input for all instances to have their own working cursor and keyboard. You need to left click each mouse to make the emulated cursors appear after locking the input. Press the END key again to unlock the input when you finish playing. You can also use CTRL+Q to close Nucleus and all its instances when the input is unlocked.

About Death's Door

Reaping souls of the dead and punching a clock might get monotonous but it's honest work for a Crow. The job gets lively when your assigned soul is stolen and you must track down a desperate thief to a realm untouched by death - where creatures grow far past their expiry and overflow with greed and power.
