I definitely recommend playing Paper Bride! I actually first discovered it through the Identity V collab. Later, my boyfriend told me it was based on a real game and recommended that I play the original, and I’m really glad I did. The game was fun, and the story is incredibly interesting. It kept me hooked from start to finish, and I especially loved how it incorporates Chinese folklore and traditional customs into both the story and the puzzles. It made the atmosphere feel even more immersive and unique. There are a few minor language barriers since some puzzles use Chinese characters, but they’re easy to work around. The in-game hints are usually enough to help you figure things out, and if you know someone who can read Chinese, they can give you a hand if needed. It didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the game at all. If you enjoy horror games with puzzles, a great story, and folklore-inspired horror, I’d definitely recommend giving Paper Bride a try!

A very beautifully designed point&click puzzle game! I adore the folklore theme and the story regarding it is quite interesting. The detailed graphics are gorgeous and portray the setting in an immersive way, plus the overall atmosphere is great and manages to be creepy. I found it enjoyable to explore the maps and the gameplay in general felt satisfying. Playing majority of it in one sitting was a mistake though, I went from feeling clever to feeling lobotomized after two chapters and had to follow a video since my brain gave up. (˙◠˙) The puzzles vary from being simple and intuitive to rather difficult, however none of them were "unsolvable" as the necessary information is always present, just takes lots of thinking (and screenshotting). There are also helpful hints offered but I refused to use them for achievements' sake.. Altogether it's a lovely game with a memorable setting and I'm looking forward to play more from this series eventually!

Finally 100% the game~ This review contains SPOILER FOR THE GAME'S ENDING Translation was okay, had no major issues understanding the texts. The music was so haunting and matched the art style of the game so well. The puzzles sometimes were dulling the mood with how hard some of them were (thankfully I could skip it on first walkthrough on my stream, so that was nice of the game :3) I liked the moment where we used our phone to see ghost, I wish they would have added that to more puzzles in the story... I loved the story, it made me genuinely anxious to save our bride in time. Now the ending...I did not like how they just brushed off all the supernatural stuff they experienced, but then again I get it if the characters just wanted to move on with their lifes after this horrible kidnapping and attempted murder situation. I guess I have to play the other games to see if that part makes any sense in the lore. o7 All in all the game was awsome and made me jump a lot with those scares. Would recommend it, if you are into clicker type, horror puzzle games! The game for me is a 8/10 /ᐠ > ˕ <マ ₊˚⊹♡

I just finished the first Paper Bride. Over all, I quite enjoyed it. There were some puzzles that were rather difficult than I believe were intended due to my lack of knowledge on Chinese Folklore/Mythology. On the other hand, there were some puzzles/parts of the game that I understood from what limited knowledge I had from Chinese class. NEVER FEAR THOUGH, knowledge on Chinese Folklore/Mythology isn't needed and the hint button is extremely helpful (It's more of a solution than a hint). The story is simple, but interesting. Overall, it's a rather short game. I personally didn't find it scary, but I'm sure that some people would. The art is beautiful in my opinion and the music is great.

The story is simple and nice. I like the quality of the game as well. The animations aren't too smooth because there aren't many frames but the drawings are immaculate. I also enjoy the music quite a lot
