Steam Store description

OCULUS RIFT NOT COMPATIBLE More than a simple jumpscare. Psychological Terror . Will you take the risk? The Paperman is a Virtual Reality game for all the horror lovers. In the game you’ll have to explore all the levels facing the challenges you encounter. Despite this is a VR game, we adapted it to PC standalone so everyone can enjoy it. However, if you are able to play it in VR, we highly recommend you to do it. The Paperman has a mixed VR movement system. You can chose to move using the teleport option, or try our new “joystick-like” free movement. The PC version is compatible with X360 Input Controllers. The kids of the neighbourhood tells a story about a man made out of paper that lives inside the forest. You believe there's any truth in these rumors? Solve the mystery. Find the truth about that “Paperman”. USA, 1978. It’s Halloween night, Sam, a 10 years old girl has to to record some things in order to finish her homework a go for candy. This could be a regular Halloween night, but it won’t be... A true horror experience.
