A Tale of Paper is a daring adventure created by
OpenHouseGames. You play as an Origami figure trying to survive in an unknown
world filled with water, murderous Roomba vacuums and spiders. Let’s jump right
into talking about the game!
I enjoyed playing this game despite some issues I
had—particularly with controls. As much as I love my little origami friend, I
really struggled at times to get them to do what I wanted. Jumping was awkward,
especially as a frog. It felt I needed for control over the distance I was
trying to jump.
Found a... friend?
I like the variety of origami transformations you get, and
the functionality of each. I love the environments (particularly the room with
the planets) and the music is fitting. I really like the premise, and I feel
the developers had a great idea with this game. Some parts of the game feel a
little unpolished or awkward, but it doesn’t take away from the overall
feeling.
I wasn’t able to finish this game, because I had issues with
the controls. I wasn’t able to make it past the part where you’re running from
a spider, Crash Bandicoot style. I kept getting stuck on things in the
environment I shouldn’t have gotten stuck on or falling into the puddles of
water because I couldn’t see them quick enough. After 15 minutes, I had to quit
to save my sanity. I may try again another day, but for now I will appreciate
what the game has given me thus far.
It was fun to hop around as a frog
I hope that OpenHouseGames continue to create interesting
and unique games like this in the future. Be sure to download the game to try
for yourself, free from Itch.io *here*. Let me know what you thought down
below. Did you make it past the spider?
Thank you, as always. Until Next time,
