This morning PlayStation’s State of Play featured one big PSVR reveal with Paper Beast, an exploration game like no other you’ve seen before.
The game is being developed by Eric Chahi who is known for his work on Another World, but I’m also quite a big fan of his last game, From Dust which was published by Ubisoft in 2011.
In a PS Blog post, Chahi explained what Paper Beasts is, kinda…
The game leads you to discover fauna and flora made from origami paper, folded metal, coral… Some elements seem familiar, such as water and sand, while others are more surreal, such as the creatures.
As you go through the game, you solve puzzles and obstacles, discovering a lot of surprises. The creatures help the player progress through their journey intuitively, without a word, since the game’s narrative is non-verbal.
The trailer shows you using the environment to solve puzzles and a lot of the game seems to revolve around its locomotion simulation like dragging things across the sand and so forth.
At the end of the trailer, after making your way across a sandy desert with the Paper Beasts themselves, they appear to bite into some sort of fruit and begin to fly off into the distance. Are we about to bite into one of that same fruit and fly off to join then?
Paper Beasts is currently set to release for PlayStation VR sometime early in 2020 and can’t wait to see more of this weird and intriguing world.
Let us know what you thought of the reveal trailer for Paper Beasts in the comments below.
