About the Game



An adventure and exploration game about wildlife in a dreamlike universe.

Somewhere in the abyssal depths of the internet, life has blossomed. You are the first human to set foot in this mysterious ecosystem. A strange force seems to weigh on its balance. Join forces with intriguing and endearing creatures to solve the puzzles of Paper Beast.

GAME EXPERIENCE


Return to the colorful and whimsical universe born from the imagination of Eric Chahi, creator of Another World in this edition of Paper Beast now available to all screen.

  • Two game modes: the adventure and the sandbox, an immersive playground.
  • Explore a world populated by majestic and intelligent creatures. Grab them, help them: their behaviour adapts to your actions.
  • Control the environment. The gameplay is based on a unique physics engine. Divert rivers, melt the ice, withstand storms to solve puzzles… And fly away!
  • Experiment! In the sandbox, live an experience close to a god game. Terraform mountains, dig lakes, populate your ecosystem, unleash tornadoes. Have fun with the physics of the game.
  • An original soundtrack combining the Japanese punk rock of TsuShiMaMire and the ambient style of Roly Porter.

What a journey. Its basically simulation-art. If you enjoyed From Dust, which is Éric Chahi (Director) previous game, you'll enjoy this. I really hope he gets the rights to do FROM DUST 2. That game is a pure gem.

A very curious sort of puzzle-adventure game. While I haven't tried the VR version (for a lack of being able to afford/set up space for VR), I think it got ported over to standard controls well enough. The visuals are

Although it was originally made for VR, months later, they released this version for those of us who don't have it, and honestly, it's really good; you can enjoy it just as much. (There is a VR DLC upgrade also for this
