My Beautiful Paper Smile

Released: 10/14/2021

Welcome, dear child, to your new home. Here you shall learn the art of perfection. Here you shall learn to smile. STORY My Beautiful Paper Smile is set in a dystopian world where a mad king wants every child to be perfect. Perfection to him is a giant, happy, smile that is worn constantly. Never fading and always bright. You are one of the Joyous, a child taken by the Authorities, who has only ever known the facility and the mask that he wears bearing a smile that doesn’t dull. The Joyous are watched by the Authorities and kept on a short leash as they are tested daily to ensure no other emotions populate in their subjects' minds other than happiness. If sadness sits on their face they are taken away and never seen again. Join the Joyous on his dark episodic odyssey as he makes his way through the world. GAMEPLAY My Beautiful Paper Smile is a horror adventure that will have you running, dodging, and puzzling away from your nightmares as you sprint your way to escape the Joyous’ facility and out into the world beyond. Utilize stealth to sneak past obstacles and avoid the Authorities, but don’t go for too long without light, as prolonged exposure to the dark will end you as will the faceless monster that pursues you. FEATURES: - Stunning hand-drawn graphics. - Developed in Unreal Engine 4 - Unique unsettling atmosphere. - Deep engrossing story. - Free yourself and try to escape the authorities ‘education’ facility. - Use stealth to avoid detection - Run and hide from the faceless one. - Uncover the reason behind the operation. - Discover the dark mystery behind the authorities' twisted scheme.
