New trailer and demoAfter our demo at Steam Next Fest, we realized that we didnt have the most intuitive interface and sometimes unclear gameplay. We think that this is normal - for us this is the first experience of creating a game, and we will have to go through many iterations until it turns out acceptable.
We watched the game streams, were happy with the mentions on Twitter, and set out to redo everything.
As a result we:
- changed one of the quests;
- simplified the stealth scene;
- added a couple of new scenes;
- we made three (3!) endings - we are especially proud, now you can not only go through the demo in different ways, but also see the consequences of the choices made.
It turned out to be about 10-15 minutes of gameplay and here is a trailer based on it. Of course, we dont stop there - and get to work on the first chapter of the game.

And in this chapter we plan to show dog's dreams - surreal, nightmarish and magical. To highlight the difference between gloomy reality and fantasy, we put down our pencils and took up paints - the dreams turned out to be watercolors.

As usual, we underestimated the timing and scale of the work - drawing and assembling dreams takes a catastrophically long time. But let's hope it was worth it :)
And you can play the demo right now!

A shaggy lonely dog embarks on a dangerous journey which can have two outcomes: the dog either will realise its wild nature, or it will trust people. The hero is vulnerable to the cruelty of this world, he has to survive. However, the dog is still able to see some vivid dreams.
Paper Bum is a dark adventure in a semi-realistic world, as if drawn by a sad child who has no crayons.

Features Of the Game
- Help the dog to survive in a world where it is not welcome.
- Lead the dog through the kingdom of vivid dreams.
- Make a difficult moral choice: do people deserve forgiveness?
- Immerse yourself in a dog’s world of associations, smells and a small palette of colours.
- Learn to navigate in a game where there is no text – only pictures.
