Tomasz Ostafin did everything but the music and sound effects. Floex did the music. Ostafin was inspired by The Neverhood , an adventure game from 1996 that used claymation, to use real-world models. [3] It took Ostafin six years to create the paper models, put them together to form scenes, and photograph them. [4] It was made in Poland. [5] Feardemic released Papetura for Windows on May 7, 2021; Switch on December 1, 2022; and Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 4 and 5 on March 9, 2023. [1]
On Metacritic, Papetura received positive reviews for Windows and mixed reviews on Switch. [6] Adventure Gamers praised the work put the creating the paper world, the soundtrack, and the game's uniqueness. [2] Nintendo Life similarly praised the world, puzzles, and soundtrack, but they criticized its brevity and controls on the Switch. [7]
It won the awards for its visual art at the Independent Games Festival Awards [8] and Central & Eastern European Game Awards. [9]
