Birth of Papyrus is a platform/puzzle game telling the story

of two ghostly girls traveling between two worlds.



Synopsis


You control Jem, a little girl of 11 years, when she wakes up in a dreamlike parallel world.
Exploring the world in search of signs of life, she will be at the heart of unpredictable phenomena: she is regularly teleported into the real world, in places which are familiar.
She will meet her twin Hina, whose presence is quite ghostly, as well as her imaginary friend, taking the form of a shadow with a top hat.
Jem will realize that her own presence is anything but normal. She is alone, transparent to the eyes of all and suffer from this solitude. Then begin a quest for existence, looking for a prince who can cure her illness and for answers about her dark fate...


Key features


  • A fairytale as dramatic as poetic where space and time are intertwined, on the border between two worlds.
  • An experimental storytelling playing with objects symbolic, multiple reading levels and a post-game reinterpretation.
  • A gameplay involved in the narrative, combining exploration phases with platform/puzzle levels.
  • A rich and surprising puzzle environment, based on cooperation with an impulsive imaginary friend.
  • A contrasted visual between a dull realistic world and a dreamlike parallel world.
  • A musical atmosphere unique of its kind, entirely played on piano and integrated into the story.

The team Frenetic Experience Studio is proud to present the first demo of our game in development: Birth of Papyrus - Posterity

Birth of Papyrus - Demo Posterity

Platform: Windows
Language: English, French
Play time: ~10 minutes

We call this demo "Posterity." It is an improved release from what we presented at the "Stunfest 2014", a French video game festival.
We intend to make others throughout the development. For each, we will present a few minutes of new gameplay that will serve as prequels to the final game.

That is two and a half years that this project exists and makes its way gradually. The release of this demo is a way for us to turned a page and go ahead. We want to restart on a new basis and communicate more seriously about our game. We're going to change of engine in the days to come and revise gameplay, visual and scenario. More informations in a future post.

We value your opinion. Feel free to leave a comment.
If you encounter technical problems, bring us the details and we will do our best to solve it.

Have fun!

"French". Tracking !

Même si je ne suis pas tout a fait sûr que ce soit mon style de jeu, j'aime bien suivre des projets comme ça de toute façon ! J'espère que vous continuerez aussi bien que vous avez commencé avec cette présentation (ou alors encore mieux, si on parle en terme de langue).

Here is an English translation for non-francophone people :
Great !
Yes, English can tell in one word what you say in 2 sentences in French (or maybe not).
