About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
PAPERHEAD is a mix of a fast-paced movement boomer shooter and an adventure horror game, featuring a unique soundtrack.
In the cute cardboard world, something went horribly wrong. Explore the abandoned research facility and uncover the dark truth of ... WHY WOULD CARDBOARD... BLEED?
BRUTAL AND SWIFT COMBAT
- Toss enemies into the air, kick exploding barrels at them, and jump on their heads like an Italian plumber!
- Or simply blast them to smithereens with a shotgun!
DRAW YOUR WAY OUT OF [REDACTED]
The pencil - is not only your weapon but a tool to change the world around you.
- Sketch bombs to kick them at your enemies!
- Draw doors to kick down!
- Write ██████ words on walls – no reason needed!
CUTE... BUT SCARY
A charming and cute cardboard world... with more meat than expected. Even paper can instill fear!
PAPER CAN BE TOUGHER THAN METAL
An industrial soundtrack that will pump high-octane cardboard through your veins.
Go ahead and find out... WHY WOULD CARDBOARD... BLEED?
P.S. And please don’t cut your fingers in the process! :-)
