    A Tale of Paper shines not through mostly competent platforming, but through its ability to weave a touching story together in only a couple of hours. Through good environment design, beautiful visuals and a varied soundtrack, this game turns a the tale of Line, a paper doll, into a story of loss and reunion that will stick with you after its brief run time.

    A Tale of Paper is a great concept with an excellent presentation that’s slightly ruined by some poor platforming design. If you’re willing to stick it out though, you’ll be rewarded with a gorgeous world to explore and an equally captivating score.

    This game could've been something special but the clumsy platforming sections and other minor issues keeps it from being remarkable.

    Its clunky platforming can sure be frustrating but A Tale of Paper still provides a memorable and captivating adventure.

    Open House Games gives us a title with plenty of originality in the approach but in the end turns out to fall into an ellipse of repetition of elements and missed opportunities. A Tale of Paper is a story of great ideas but questionable execution.

    The puzzles and platforming challenges never really require you to get creative. The result, sadly, is an idea that’s more interesting on paper than in practice. [Issue#183, p.65]
