Jan. 2025

6/10 Bizarre, weird vr experience. its a puzzle game of sorts. less then 3 hrs. total game play. A thought, being drunk or get mushroom should give better experience.

Jan. 2025

Positive - but - look at the play times of the reviews. Story - 3 hours and that is it. Then you have the sandbox (which did not interest me). If you get it very discouted it is a fun and novel experience. But don't pay 20$!

Dec. 2024

It's a good game but it feels incomplete. I would never suggest buying this game at full price. I got excited when it started to feel like From Dust, but then it just ended. Sandbox mode is great but only provides another hour or so of entertainment and excludes some of the signature beasts that are in the story mode. The interactions between beasts feel very lacking.

Sept. 2024

That was absolutely beautiful. I had no idea what to expect going into this, and I'm not sure how to describe what I just experienced. Paper Beast is the most unique experience I've had in VR

Aug. 2024

One of the most surreal and bizarre games that virtual reality has to offer. If you have a VR headset, this is a must have.
