Getting serious James and the Giant Peach movie vibes here. Developer Petums cuts the world of Papetura out from paper, cardboard, Japanese Washi and exotic papers, and enlivens it with stop-motion style animation and clever lighting, to offer a magical interactive experience, like it was lifted from a fairy tale book.
Pape, a diminutive creature in a flowery prison, escapes from his confines to discover what lies beyond his four walls. He encounters Tura, a cat-like being that he adopts in his adventure, and they will try to stop the fiery monsters who wish to turn their world to ashes.
It’s an exceptional effort from the small team. Each model takes a month to complete, and Petums states that sometimes the paper models look different when entered into Unity, which adds a layer of complication. Thankfully, the artsy approach has borne fruit, and Papetura is certainly one to watch this year.
Papetura will arrive on PC in summer. Watch the reveal trailer below.
