Prepare for a delightful journey into the world of Paperklay, a charming 3D platformer that's set to capture your imagination. This game offers a unique blend of Banjo-Kazooie-esque charm and innovative gameplay mechanics, promising an unforgettable experience for players of all ages.

A World of Paper and Cardboard

Imagine a world crafted from paper and cardboard, where every level is a meticulously designed diorama. Paperklay brings this vision to life with its whimsical environments that are both aesthetically pleasing and cleverly designed. Explore expansive landscapes, solve intricate puzzles, and marvel at the sheer creativity on display.

Gameplay and Features

Paperklay offers a familiar yet exciting array of platforming moves, including double-jumping, dashing, gliding, and sprinting. But what truly sets it apart is its unique approach to level design. You'll find yourself manipulating and transforming the environment itself, folding, unfolding, and rotating the landscape to reveal hidden pathways and solve clever puzzles. Think Fez-like rotations on a larger scale, adding a fresh dimension to the platforming experience. The game is estimated to provide around five to six hours of gameplay.

Musical Masterpieces

The game boasts a captivating soundtrack composed by the talented Grant Kirkhope (known for his work on Banjo-Kazooie and Yooka-Laylee) and Steven Melin (composer for Moonlighter). This musical synergy promises to enhance the game's already enchanting atmosphere.

A Unique Artistic Style

Paperklay stands out with its distinct artistic style. While many games boast highly polished, perfect-looking environments, Paperklay embraces a more endearing, handcrafted aesthetic. This unique approach gives the game a distinctive charm and personality.

Paperklay launches on May 27th and currently has a demo available on Steam. Don't miss the chance to experience this innovative and charming platformer!
