Took a gamble on this one as the controls didn't work in the demo, but in the main game they work perfectly. Beautiful, gameplay that doesn't hold your hand, oddly emotional. Works without any tinkering on Linux out of the box.

Great game with incredible, absolutely gorgeous art style! Buy it on sale, it's worth it. Not worth the full price though IMO

Really enjoyed the world of Paper Beast and how immersive it was in VR, but some sections were really annoying to do, due to the unreliability of the physics or creature behavior...
