Gameplay
Gameplay

Development
Development
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. It took Ostafin six years to create the paper models, put them together to form scenes, and photograph them. It was made in Poland. 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.
