The Team
The team consists of the creator Tomasz Ostafin (Petums), music artist Tomas Dvorak (Floex), and sound designer Juraj Mravec. The game was being made for many years, inspired by old classic games like The Neverhood, Machinarium, movies of studio Ghibli, and fascination with architecture and paper sculptures.
The game feels good. It has really beautiful scenes and amazing music that matches the different levels. My only gripe is that it is fairly short (I am not very good with puzzles and finished the game in about 3 hours). The puzzles were also easy, so you play mostly for the journey. There seems to be a story underlying the journey, but it is somewhat unclear. The fact that the game scenes were actually constructed out of paper is just incredible.
I believe you can see the excellent picture of this game from the screenshot of the store.
However, this game is really very short, and the online strategy video is only 40+ minutes.
(I may have a bad head, so I played for 2 hours)
If you have extra money, you can try this game at a discount.
It is beautifully made, with very nice atmospheric environments and fun puzzles.
Too bad is the short playing time
Well worth playing and not too difficult either.
3.5/5 6/10
Review has a few spoilers to some of the 'puzzle' sections.
What a nice little game!
Its so original in the story, visuals and art design and the fact that its all made out of paper is amazing tbh.
The creature designs were cute, and sometimes a bit odd lol, their sounds too but I loved it.
I was trying to look closer at how u made it all come together in the archways and stairs to the next rooms, Ive never seen anything quite like this b4 so it was really refreshing to play.
Would love to see how this is done and put together into a game.
Not to mention how on earth u managed to fold it all like this!
I lol'd out loud when u use the poor kitty as a paddle, kinda sad ofc but lol xD
There was a lot of funny little things, like the kitty storing contents in its stomach, then spit it out give it to the dinner guests, or the one landing on the scribes book.
Good little story but also sad, nothing too heavy tho.
Despite being so short it was so unique and every area had its own weird story in the setting and little interactive sessions like the fishing, ofc I tried to bait the small ones too.
Loved that setting with the 'restaurant' and the scribe, it had such a cozy homy feeling to it.
That part where u toss the kitty in the thingy's mouth to find the key also made me lol out loud, and the little puzzle part inside was again more original stuff, a short but brilliant take on pacman xD
I had to look up vids a few times, specially on the part where u have ride the water creature, and what to do with the cowering adorable worm thingy.
In hindsight it wasnt difficult, just different so my brain couldnt figure it out.
This game was perfect in length and not dragged out, it told the story and to the point.
The little bubbles to show what happened and for hints was great!
Would love to see more of this style from the devs!
