The Paper Children

The Paper Children is a psychological horror adventure where memory, trauma, and paper are all fragile…and all can tear.

You play as Iris, a government caseworker assigned to investigate a series of long-forgotten and abandoned child welfare cases in the rural town of Wend Hollow. As she digs deeper, she discovers disturbing drawings, missing files, and a haunting presence that seems to remember what everyone else has tried to forget.

Explore twisted versions of real places, confront fragile remnants of the missing children, and piece together what happened, before the past folds shut for good.

Note: 

• This game can't be played in a mobile browser. It has no touch input, thus, no touch support until further notice.
• You can set full screen using the display settings in the title screen. I tried using the default way itch adds the full screen, but if a user uses the one in the game, it freezes the game.
