Paper Cut Mansion Switch NSP Free Download Romslab Paper Cut Mansion is a procedurally generated rogue-lite horror, set within a mansion made entirely of cardboard. You take on the role of police detective Toby, in search of clues to explain the strange goings on and how he came to be in this paper-craft property. You will explore the mansion floor by floor, with the aim being to unlock the trapdoor down to the next level and ultimately unravel this great mystery by collecting clues along the way. What makes Paper Cut Mansion stand out from other rogue-lites is its various dimensions (Neo Cortex dimension, puzzle based; Reptilian dimension, combat based; Limbic System dimension, survival based).

Which you can jump between using portals throughout your adventure. The entire game revolves around juggling your time between these different dimensions, jumping in and out of each realm to collect items, inspect furniture, kill enemies, and decipher puzzle solutions. Your survival in these dimensions is tied to three separate bars. When damage is taken in a realm the bar will increase, and should one of these reach the max you will die and must restart from the very first floor with nothing but a few permanent unlocks to aid you. We played several runs and found that the puzzles, rooms, and enemies were getting very repetitive very quickly.

For example, the same number-and-shape decipher puzzle appeared in every run we played. There just isn’t enough variety to warrant the game being procedurally generated. What also lets the game down is the slow progression for unlocks. Although new perks, weapons, and armour can be found by inspecting furniture and completing side quests, the rates at which they appear are so low. Paper Cut Mansion offers some interesting dimension-hopping gameplay, enjoyable puzzles, and unique cardboard visuals that make it standout from similar titles in the genre. However, it’s ultimately let down by its slow pacing and repetition of content. Prime World: Defenders Switch

In addition, there are 3 different “parallel dimensions” in the game. These are called the limbic system, the reptilian brain, and the neocortex. Neocortex is the dimension where we can examine objects, but when turning some objects around, ghosts come out of them. We can’t fight the ghosts, we get tired of chasing after us and we need to escape with as little damage as possible until they vanish (assist from Father Papotto is also an option). The reptilian brain, the dimension with lots of enemies, we have to fight a lot in it. The limbic system, on the other hand, is the part we need to explore by warming up on the cold, usually fires near NPCs.

The more you fail and start over, the more you learn about the mechanics

We have a separate health bar for each dimension, but in some cases we can take damage to more than one health bar in a single dimension. Also, every dimension moves us around on the same map; It’s just that the rules change a little, that’s all. This means we have a puzzle solving dimension, where we’ll interact with furniture, rotate objects in order to find the money strapped to their backs or bottoms, and figure out what to do with certain clues so we can open doors and move forward. How do we get those clues? Simple, there’s a specific realm for that, but we also get a new threat, in the form of an ice cold atmosphere. Princess.Loot.Pixel.Again Switch

That eats away at our resistance, and requires the player to get near sources of heat and light from time to time. In this dimension we’ll be able to investigate objects that are relevant to the narrative, as well as find clues. But where do we get to the shooting bit we saw in the trailers, you ask? Well the, there’s the third realm, where we’ll find monsters, and our character will pull out a cute paper shotgun to blast them to bits. There’s a fair variety of enemies to fight, and certain tools can be unlocked to make our life easier, but overall, the shooting aspect of the game is very much an afterthought and not the main course of the meal.

A creepy and thrilling storyline unfolds (pun intended) as you progress in the game and unlock different endings depending on your performance

As we navigate the titular Mansion’s floors and meet new characters that give us side quests, we’ll obtain medals that act as skill points and can be assigned to a number of attributes, helping us to deal with threats more efficiently, or to open certain chests that were previously out of our reach, for example. It’s all very basic, but it works well, so I have no complaints about this system. What I will note, however, is that any side quest that requires killing a specific amount of enemies in the combat dimension can become softlocked if we found and killed all (or most) enemies in the level before finding the quest giver, as the game doesn’t respawn foes in a level we’ve already explored, even if we travel between realms using the portals.

This isn’t game breaking, but it feels like it’s more of a bug than a feature, as it’s very easy to annihilate half a level before ever finding a quest giver, depending on where we started. The puzzle aspect of the game is excellent though, full of inventive roadblocks that will always have you going “a-ha!” once you finally manage to get past them. The idea of the three different dimensions also works very well to make the game’s relatively small play spaces work a lot better. There’s secrets hidden everywhere, quirky characters to meet, and pieces of the plot to discover (and speaking of plot, I was actually quite enthralled with Paper Cut Mansion‘s narrative, as this cutesy-looking horror title more than delivers on that front).
