About this game

Paper Bride is a Chinese horror mystery puzzle game which includes traditional Chinese folk cultural elements. Download and experience it if you are interested in traditional Chinese culture.

When the groom turns toward his bride on the wedding ceremony, her traditional red wedding dress suddenly turns into an ominous white paper one before she vanishes without a trace. You will play as the groom to search for the truth and have bizarre encounters, gradually learning about the dark mystic custom in the bride's home village and a story from the past...

Inspirations:
There are lots of creative horror stories in traditional Chinese folklore: paper figures blocking the way, underworld spirits marching, bizarre temples, ghost trap... But these elements are rarely used in games. After having nightmares about Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, Extensive Records of the Taiping Era, A Wicked Ghost and other novels and movies, we think it's a shame that only we could experience the horror, so we made this traditional Chinese horror mystery puzzle game to share with the world.

Features:
-Better Graphics: Better and more stylized art assets and more animations for an immersive experience as though in a horror movie.
-Better Performance: Added dialogues to make the main character more relatable.
-Better Experience: More reasonable puzzles without minute objects or tappable areas.
-Reasonable Difficulty: No more complex puzzles in the early game as the difficulty increases with each chapter.

Ratings and reviews

So, I'm currently playing the game and the atmosphere is top notch! As I'm a fan of horror, and I stumbled on this, It's amazing! 10/10 For the plot twist that didn't see coming, the graphics are great, and I was jump scared a few times! Unfortunately, it's also incredibly vague and you're often left clicking and flailing, trying to figure out what to do. I'm still gonna finish out this game and it's sequels though! I'm hooked!

Game is grate could use a little polishing up on some things, such as if you have a highlighted inventory item and need to click something very close to the info button you may need to do it several times before it registers. Also I had to write down alot of key info just to be able to complete some puzzles, having that in game would have been much easier.

Gameplay issue: some interactable points of interest feel intentionally badly placed. An early example is the fake fire brazier, which is drawn in the bottom of the screen, dimmed out so you think it's just BG art. So you end up tapping everywhere -> takes away "health"-> makes you buy/watch ads to heal. Ad placement is also more irritating in that sometimes ads will pop up with no warning, which you accidentally tap through. Otherwise the game is fine if not for (intentional?) bad level design.
