Scrap Story

A lovely looking paper RPG with a mix of paper, crayon, and plaster art depending on which area you are in.  There are villagers and critters to talk to, some of whom may join you in battle (maybe, if they feel like it), while others want to be more involved and can become your companion, following you on your journey. 

It’s currently in development for PC but the developer is also hoping to bring the game to PS4 and Switch at some point with an initial release in 2021.  In the meantime there is a demo you can play, and you can follow them on Twitter to keep up-to-date on the progress.
