Paper Cut Mansion is a Roguelite Horror set in a cardboard universe.
The player is a paper man trapped in a paper mansion who has to solve a series of puzzles and riddles “escape-room” style in order to get out of the house.

The house has different levels and, during his journey, the player will encounter other mansion inhabitants, some will ask him to complete quests and give him rewards, some other will try to hide, some other will try to kill him.
If during the game the player dies he will start over from the first level.

The player will find new equipments hidden in each level and will unlock new abilities to become more powerful and less likely to die in his mansion runs.

After dying, he can try again as many times as he likes and will be able to gradually shape his own play style by combining the equipments he finds on each run.

Each level is a procedurally generated mansion composed of a series of rooms. The player starts in one of the rooms and he/she is free to examine the furniture in detail searching for clues and loots. He can also open a door to go to another room with other furniture to check. Sometimes an enemy can be found while checking furniture and once revealed it will chase the player.
Players can travel to one of the 3 different dimensions by using Portals. Every dimension keeps the rooms, doors, furniture in exactly the same position as the previous one, however, something else will change in terms of aesthetics and gameplay.

DISCOVER THE STORY

The game’s Lore is revealed as the player talks to NPCs, completes quests, finds clues, progresses through levels and even when he dies.
Each piece of the story will be unlocked step by step and then attached to an Evidence Board on the main menu to keep track of the unsolved mystery.

Replayability is the key

PCM is a "prepare to die" type of experience. Once a player starts a new game he will need to find his way through the mansion and discover things by himself (What's dangerous? What's beneficial? How does something combine with something else, Etc.).
As a player you will be motivated to start a new game to do better and better and equip those things you find during the current mansion crawl.

The player can only personalize his equipment before starting a new game. Since this is a "prepare to die" game the player has the chance to select his own "character build" only before entering the mansion - he discovers mechanics on the way and learns from his mistakes during the game and once he/she dies then have a fresh start to try out new equipment combinations.

There will be different ending scenarios depending on how the player performs - some of these will be easier to achieve if a decent combination of equipment is selected.
And of course the mansion is procedurally generated so every experience is different and that gives a lot of space to plenty of easter eggs and rare things to discover.
