    Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open is a little gem. It's not the ideal game for those looking for action or intense scares, but it is for those who value a well-told story, outstanding art design, and sincere cultural representation. It's an endearing experience, sad at times, hopeful at others, that stays with you long after you've finished it.

    Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open plays much more like a visual novel than an action/adventure game as claimed in the Nintendo eShop, but it provides enough minigames, light puzzle solving, and general creepiness to appeal to younger gamers haunted by the prospect of growing up.
