• Happy Halloween: Papercraft Jack fights his way through Paper Cut Mansion! 🎃 - 28 October 2022

  Pre-Halloween greetings, friends! First of all: Thank you so much, folks! Each and everyone of you who enjoys Jack's adventure! I really appreciate that. ❤️ I don't know about you, but I am a sucker for great and creative artstyle. Oh, and for roguelites. And for pumpkins of course. And that's what makes Paper Cut Mansion a perfect fit. You play as police detective Toby, who investigates an old, and spooky mansion, that is a pleasantly reminiscence of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. The goal is to find out the secret of the mansion, and as it should be for a roguelite, it takes several attempts to do so, during which permanent equipment is collected. I really like this kind of game, and that's why I've decided to team up with the devs and we worked together to have an awesome Pumpkin Jack costume in Paper Cut Mansion! So, get the burning pumpkin on Toby's head and enjoy the spooky, halloween…
