In Papair you explore a beautiful paper island in the sky in a tiny, story-driven exploration game.

This little independent game starts out with a short story about you flying an airplane until a storm comes and crash lands you on a paper island. From here you can explore the island.


The controls take some getting used to and I suspect a gamepad would be better than the keyboard. While it is explained that “E” is to interact and “space” is to kick, the camera controls and angle were a bit annoying to me. I found the good old “w,a,s,d” keys managed movement and the arrows managed the camera angle, or position you’re facing.

The graphics are pretty good (hey, it’s an Indie game) and there is even a map at the bottom of your screen to navigate around. While there is no obviously immediate goal, the character responds as if there is as seen in one of the screenshots where my character says “gotcha, only 5 to go” as if I was trying to complete an objective I wasn’t aware of.

Still, the game is good, clean fun.
