#PAPETURA MAKING OF SERIES#

If it weren’t for the gorgeous environments, I’d perhaps have been a bit more miffed. Instead of double-clicking on a doorway to immediately appear in a previous room, or at least dash, they continue to take their time. This proved to be a bit of a frustration when backtracking through some of the scenes, trying to piece together what I needed to do. If it weren’t for some great balls of fire they have to dodge early on, I was wondering whether it would have been best represented as a sloth. The Longest 90 Minutesīut this about the gameplay, right? How does it fair? First of all, Pape is incredibly slow in their movements, bordering on the Shade in The Lon g ing. I paid under a tenner for this, and despite the following comments, it was well worth the price for the art alone.

Perhaps you don’t have the time to commit to hours and hours of gameplay, or maybe you’re expecting value for your money. When it comes to gameplay, Papetura is pretty short, but whether that’s a negative depends on the person. Papetura, too, reaches the same visuals heights and cannot be faulted in its presentation, nor the score by Floex. This world that the duo occupy is absolutely stunningĪnimation has fascinated me, especially some of the more absurd things like Brothers Quay, and perhaps why I consider Isolomus a masterpiece.

The goal? Reach safety by solving a series of puzzles. The story kickstarts when Pape comes across a character called Tura, who bears magic powers but requires protection from the outside world and the seemingly summoned demons that attempt to destroy it with fire. It resembles a paper scroll, but not necessarily bearing wisdom as it’s a blank page, excluding the nice character animations and expressions. Papetura, developed by Petums, is about Pape. It encourages exploration and engaging yourself in out of the box thinking, not just for the problem solving, but for your analytical skills to work out what the heck it is you’re supposed to do. 4.Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit – A New Franchise? It’s a game you probably owe yourself to play, if you have even the slightest bit of interest in any of this. Because while that is why I enjoy it, it’s a bit of a simple way to explain these last few paragraphs. It’s really hard to properly explain what I enjoy about Papetura outside of “Looks good and is simple”.

With the amount of work they put in to the graphics, it can be as short as it needs to be. Papetura isn’t exactly funny, but it is rather short. I love the ones that are funny, but do find that a lot just take far too long to play. Music is very atmospheric, and to be honest, something you might not even notice at times, but if you listen real good, you’re in for some good stuff. It reminds me of stuff like 9 or the works of Henry Selick or Will Vinton. It’s kind of like a spooky stop-motion film. How do I describe the general feel and aesthetic of Papetura besides paper? It’s a little creepy, but not outright scary. And then immediately felt dumb because it was honestly kinda obvious in hindsight what I need to do. If you get stuck however, you can always hold X and you’ll eat something and get a little thought bubble that leads to a minigame where you need to collect little blue guys and avoid the red ones. Instead of being a guessing game with what item when and where, you’re usually given a specific ability or Tura to figure out what to do to proceed to the next screen. No dialog, not very many buttons to press or options.

Papetura is an adventure game, one of the minimalist variety. Their home is in danger of being set ablaze, so they’re on somewhat of a small journey to make sure they don’t lose their home. So Papetura actually means another thing. And when you see the environments, you’ll agree with my assessment of it being gorgeous. If the name didn’t make it obvious, Papetura is all using paper. In the vein of games like Kirby’s Epic Yarn, Yoshi’s Woolly and Crafted World, Snoopy’s Grand Adventure, and Ayo the Clown, Papetura uses a more craft-like art style. Papetura is one of the most beautiful games I’ve played on Nintendo Switch.
