Paperbark

About

Paperbark follows a wombat navigating an Australian summer’s challenges. Hand-drawn environments let you explore sun-scorched landscapes as you search for water and shelter. The gameplay blends light platforming with environmental puzzles requiring timing and precision. Short but dense with detail, the story unfolds through subtle interactions and visual cues rather than dialogue. The game’s quiet storytelling and delicate art have earned it a 92% positive rating on Steam. Players praise its emotional depth and the way it captures the harsh beauty of the outback. At under three hours, it’s a brief experience but one many describe as memorable for its charm and atmospheric design.
