    Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open is a great horror tale combining the story of a child’s life with her ability to interact with the dead. This unique combination creates an emotional, yet eerie story. Stunning visuals that are unlike any other game make this adventure worth your time. It’s certainly not for everyone with its lack of true gameplay and narrative approach, but there’s a great tale to be discovered if you can see past this.

    Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open is a sweet ode to Malaysia but not very good at delivering impactful gameplay moments to support it. It's a number of ideas not fully realised with a subtle story of familial struggle, all whilst under the guise of a supernatural child's tale. It will click extremely well for some but not everyone.
