Each species in the game also behaves differently and they have their own unique goals. The player can also modify the terrain so as to overcome environmental obstacles.

Reviews

 

Paper Beast’s origami animals delight, but the resulting game is less than the sum of its parts.

 

One of the most incredible gaming experiences I have ever had in 40 years of gaming. Abstract, artistic and truly moving…this game left me in awe.

 

Like having one of those cliche native american spirit dreams, but actually good. Intensely moving, and short enough that you’ve got no excuse not to to fit it into your life if you have VR.
