Paper Beast

You are the first human to enter a strange ecosystem born in the depths of the internet, where an unknown force is disturbing its balance. Explore its dreamlike landscapes and encounter creatures made of folded paper.

Progress by observing and helping the creatures, then using their behavior and the environment to solve puzzles. Change terrain and work with natural forces such as water, sand, ice, and storms to clear paths and move forward.

The game has an adventure mode built around exploration and environmental puzzles, as well as a sandbox mode. In the sandbox, shape the land, create lakes, populate an ecosystem, and experiment with the creatures and physics.

Supplied reviewers often praise the surreal art and atmosphere, the immersive VR experience, and the expressive creatures interacting with the environment. Many enjoy experimenting with physics-based puzzles, and some highlight the sandbox as a satisfying way to build small ecosystems. Other reviewers find the pace slow, puzzle objectives unclear, or creature and physics behavior frustrating; opinions on the experience vary.
