Paper Shakespeare: The Legend of Rainbow Hollow

About

Paper Shakespeare: The Legend of Rainbow Hollow is a role-playing adventure set in a collapsed world where all life exists as stick figures. You wander crumbling cities and wild frontiers, battling creatures with exaggerated violence and interacting with NPCs using crude doodles. The story tasks you with uncovering ancient secrets while fending off rival factions, all through a mix of real-time combat and dialogue choices. The game’s charm comes from its absurd visual style and deadpan humor, pairing post-apocalyptic themes with cartoonish violence. Players appreciate the open-ended exploration and the way simple mechanics feel fresh in this minimalist setting. Released in 2020, it remains a niche pick for PC and Linux users seeking a lighthearted take on the genre.
