Origament: A Paper Adventure

I loved this little game, I thought it was super cute and fun. its basically a linear stage based game where you progress by transforming into different kinds of origami. you can turn into a paper ball to roll across dry terrain, a paper boat to sail across rivers and lakes, a paper airplane to fly over obstacles and a paper shuriken to scare away enemies and give yourself a boost in the air. this constant transformation mechanic makes the gameplay feel really dynamic and unique. you need to keep progressing and get better at transforming at the right moment to overcome every obstacle along the way. its not very difficult or complex, actually its a really relaxing and enjoyable experience. another wonderful indie gem that I highly recommend!!

I wish there was an option to do like a "middle" vote but unfortunately am limited by the Steam review system. I will start with the pros of the game. It is cute, the graphics are nice, and the premise is fairly unique in that I have never played a game as a shapeshifting piece of crumbled paper before. Now for the cons... The controls are very strange at least on controller. To "talk" or "interact" with things you press up on the D-pad, and in menus and such to "interact" you hit "X" on the controller. Both of these functions are fairly commonly "A" on classic gamepads; let alone two entirely different buttons. Also, there is no way to change the controls in the game as far as I was able to find. Second, there are a few collectables in the forms of letters in bottles, coins, etc. But there is no tracking system so if I simply missed one or two, I would have to go through the entire level looking for every single one again. In other games these would be perhaps grayed out or unavailable to collect the second time, but for this reason I felt 0 desire to go back and find every single item and just HOPE it was one of the ones I missed previously. Last, there are just some clunky parts of the game. Sometimes the hit boxes on the "dangerous" patches of red grass seemed misleading, and there were some levels that were just plain frustrating due to the mechanics of the game. The one that permanently will be ingrained in my brain forever is in the final snow level, there is a course you have to complete and you need to use shuriken form to break ice. However, this propels you forward and will put you in danger against your control. Mind you, this is at the VERY END OF THE COURSE. So you have to do the ENTIRE thing over again because you accidentally propel yourself into danger and you wouldn't even know it because you can't see behind the wall you are breaking with shuriken. The game took me 3 hours to nearly 100% but honestly, I have 0 motivation to go back and play it at all. It was a cute game but for $15 I kind of wish I could get my money back. I do love supporting developers though so I am happy for you guys in that regard.

(jeu reçu gratuitement - pas de rémunération ou d'obligation de créer du contenu) Grosse déception vis-à-vis de ce jeu (que je n'ai pas terminé), tout simplement parce qu'il utilise de l'IA générative dans ses illustrations et ne le précise nulle part. Une honte. On est fatigué•e•s de devoir être sur nos gardes en permanence vis-à-vis de l'IA. On est fatigué•e•s de répéter en boucle pourquoi c'est une CATASTROPHE sociale et écologique. Faites mieux.

Apparemment de l'IA generative a été utilisée sur le jeu sans que ce ne soit affiché nulle part sur la page du jeu. C'est interdit, c'est une totale déception, et si je l'avais su avant, jamais je n'aurai streamé le jeu et laissé une évaluation positive.

Some of us, like myself, would be on the quest from Boxing Day onward to lobby our parents for next year's presents. Others would put all their thoughts on paper, then wrap them in an envelope and send them to Santa through the express reindeer post. For some inexplicable reason, some of those letters actually found their way to the big man in red. Dare to find out if yours was one of them? All you have to do is follow the natural elements in Origament: A Paper Adventure. Origament: A Paper Adventure is a casual 3D platformer developed by Space Sauce Studio and published by Assemble Entertainment on the 7th of April 2026, on the Steam platform, and it is also Steam Deck verified. The game consists of seven levels, each with a different theme and ranging from medium to long. After watching the introduction, your paper will appear styled as a rock in a room with seven mirrors, each mirror representing a level/world. This room will also have a store where you can acquire skins for your paper, as well as blueprints to show you how to create a few origami models. You can unlock them with golden coins that are scattered all around the levels. All the worlds are beautifully designed and provide a low ratio of obstacles; enough for an adult to be entertained from start to finish, while providing a more challenging experience for children without being too difficult. A twelve-year-old would probably be able to beat the game with the help of an adult, mostly for reading messages throughout the each level. What I like about some of the obstacles is that they could be damaging to paper, such as fire, spikey water plants, or oil spills that make paper sink; that is cool and well thought-out. The others are more traditional platformer obstacles, and all are well-balanced in terms of difficulty ratio. As mentioned, there are a certain number of golden coins to collect throughout the levels, and you also have messages in bottles and a few relatively simple puzzles. You'll encounter characters who will give you a challenge for a reward, (a gold coin, that is). There are two types of parkour challenges, one where you have to beat an origami bird by reaching the finish line before it does, and the second is to reach each blue hologram within the parkour before the time runs out. Each hologram will add extra seconds to the clock. I like the gameplay, as you often have to swap between origami shapes, according to the upcoming obstacles; from rock to plane, back to rock or boat, or even to shurikens to destroy objects or to use as mid-air dash, for example. You can also use shurikens on gears to open doors and a few other things. As much as I enjoyed the game, which is beatable under four hours and doesn't provide much replayability, there are a few downfalls. The prominent one, which was mostly on the western level, was the jumping from one moving wagon to another; it didn't feel right, not so much on the other levels, but in that western level, it was obvious. The other is when you have to reconstruct a picture by moving its pieces around a base. You'll use the origami rock in this instance, and you have to move the rock on the edge of the base to grab a piece to move it. The physics of the rock balancing on the edge is good, but it becomes frustrating to grab a piece and move it. It took me several attempts, moving one piece at the time. Thank god it was only seven pieces on an eight-grid base. Annoying to say the least! Although, I do appreciate the fact that developers stuck with using an origomi shape per puzzle, and it did work for most of them. On the other hand, I think the game lacks puzzles overall. Perhaps they could have included more puzzles with common mechanisms to contribute some replayability to the game. I believe it is the first game from this developer, and I would like to congratulate them for what they have produced; it is well thought out. Positives: ~~~~~~~ + Beautiful graphics and level design + Seven worlds to beat + A few collectables and extra challenges per world + Good gameplay, I personally like swapping origami shapes to avoid obstacles + Good price point + Achievements Negatives: ~~~~~~~~ - Lacks puzzles - Issue with jumping between moving platforms, which is obvious in the western level - No trading cards as yet Origament: A Paper Adventure is a well-thought-out game for the theme, with beautiful scenery that all ages can enjoy. 6/10 Note: Key provided by the developer/publisher through my Steam Curator groups for review purposes. Any opinions expressed are entirely my own!

This is a pleasant enough puzzle adventure with good visual elements and a decent attempt at some interesting mechanics (the four origami shapes), but ultimately I didn't find the gameplay compelling enough to recommend. In fact, in parts the gameplay was downright frustrating. Examples include using the shuriken shape to destroy a barrier only for it to kick you back into a hazard, or a few times where you can't see enough of the path ahead to plan out a good route, forcing you to rely on trial and error and memorization, which is not very compelling gameplay. The story was also pretty light. But it's pretty cheap, so if you just want some pure vibes, it might be worth your while. This is definitely a game where I'd choose a middle rating if there was one.

This game was so cozy and fun. The music was relaxing and the graphics were pretty! The story isn't too long, but it was still fun to go through the levels. It was a good 3 hour game for me to complete the story. I can still go back and work on completion, and I may! For now though, I'm going to just say, the vibes were great. Each level was unique and fun!

Jogo extremamente relaxante pra você jogar! As fases são muito bonitas, bem feitas e a trilha sonora é MUUUUUITO gostosa. Dá até uma sensação nostalgica! Se quiser ver gameplay, pode conferir aqui: https://youtu.be/0wJowRoqZd4?si=rb5bqay6mduWpwcr

To preface I received this game for free to try it out, otherwise I don't think I would have played a game of this genre. In short the game is a nice, relaxed story telling game where a player controls an origami piece of paper attempting to reach the end while navigating obstacles. Origament: Paper Adventure (OPA)'s [b]gameplay[/b] is decent. The [b]controls[/b] are quite straight forward and movement is quite basic, but with the ability to switch between paper shapes gives the player certain combinations to work with. It also adds another layer to the game making it more interactive, hence more interesting. There are four basic paper types to switch from: ball form, airplane form, boat mode, and "attack" mode. Each mode will have it's place depending on what sort of terrain the paper player is traversing. Sometimes, there will be obstacles that will demand of the player to combine or mix a combo of shapes in order to get over. This is probably the best part of the game that I found most engaging. I was surprised to see that the main lobby (where the player will choose the next level) that were a decent amount  of upgrades available to the player. To upgrade, the player will need to explore the map for "coins" and potentially other objects that might give them a boost towards their player's paper abilities. The [b]gameplay[/b] as I said is nice, it does attempt to provide different challenges, but this entire realm felt quite casual and relaxed to playthrough. Checkpoints are active (even if the player quits the level) and the game is quite forgiving if mistakes are made. The [b]visuals and graphics[/b] are pretty decent and suit the game. There is no over-the-top graphics, but the whole environment contributes to a nice, calm, and serene environment for the player to enjoy. The animations (especially between the paper changes) are quite fluid and some particle effects are evident from area to area. There are no over-the-top effects that go further to immerse the player, but generally this part of the game was done well. I felt like there was a solid effort put forth to ensure animations weren't exactly random and had a purpose. The [b]sounds and music[/b] were another domain that was touched upon well. The music genre follows an Asian theme and suits the game quite nicely. Definitely a solid choice of tracks were put together here. The sounds are okay. They are present, but don't really feel like they are adding any intensity or further immersion into the game.  Overall, not a bad game, not a great game. I will recommend it as it is something that I don't generally play, but my wife loved playing through it way more than I did (hence the rating). I most likely won't come back to it, she probably will. As you - the reader - are reading this, I would certainly recommend doing your homework before purchasing the game. It does seem like it was made with great care! Thank you to the Dev for the opportunity to try this game.  [h1]RATING: 6.8/10[/h1] [table] [tr] [td]Gameplay[/td] [td]C+[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Story / Campaign[/td] [td]C+[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Visuals / User Interface[/td] [td]C+[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Sounds / Music[/td] [td]B-[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Replay-ability[/td] [td]C+[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Overall [/td] [td]C+[/td] [/tr] [/table]
