Man. Something about this game really just floors me. There’s something so ethereal about this game that I really just can’t put my finger on but god damn. Exploring this weird paper mache world and finding all the artsy ass creatures is just so…soothing? If that makes sense? It’s like taking a walk through the zoo during a holiday when they have all the corny decorations up. You know it’s all just cheap set dressing but when you go to sit on a bench and take in the vibe of the place it feels so cozy. I know this game will probably be too abstract for most people to get any type of meaning out of, but if you’re the type of person to drink in the atmosphere of a game you’ll love this one.
Just don’t try to 100% it. I still get nightmares about the Walkman achievement.

A very interesting adventure game. It has a very intriguing way of transitioning to the game from the opening, and the game itself is a physics puzzle/adventure game. I didn't know what to expect from it, but it has a lot of great atmosphere and clever physics toys to play with, comprising most of the solutions by having the titular papered beasts spit out sand, march one another through windy plains, and sing to grow balloon trees. It's a lot of fun with some surprising moments and an interesting narrative about being inside of a number processing ecosystem. A must play on any available VR platforms.
I try... I really try.. but sucks
Watching giant majestic paper animals interact with the environment is sometimes incredible and magical and other times just kinda boring. Feels like an continuation of From Dust’s gameplay but instead of a god you’re just a regular being in this “simulation”. So with that comes a tampered ability to manipulate your environment.
Your interaction with the flora and fauna of this world is how you’ll solve each puzzle and it’s really rewarding when the solution becomes obvious. Other times the physics and terraforming are a little wonky.
There’s more depth to the story than I thought at first glance. That’ll become abundantly obvious as soon as you boot up the game. I liked the vibes they were going for. I wish the story explained more about this “simulation” you were engaging with.
