Ultra-Indie Daily Dose: Paper Cages Lets You Face Everyday Demons
Hello, you glorious gluttons for all things indie horror! Are you just starving for the newest of the new, the most unknownest of the unknown? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to the Ultra-Indie Daily Dose! In this series, we’re going to pick a new game every day from an indie horror creator you’ve probably never heard of. No million-dollar budgets or factory productions. This is the space for the little guy with not but a developer toolkit and a dream. So if you’re down to roll the dice on something different, then stick around and check it out!
Welcome back to another Ultra-Indie Daily Dose! Today we have a submission from the 2019 Halloween Game Jam by developer Placeholder Gameworks, best known for their title Death and Taxes. This title is a brief point and click (and even type) game called Paper Cages.
In Paper Cages you play as a young adult who needs to get ready for work. Brush your teeth, eat breakfast, put on clothes, pet your cat. But even if you succeed in the battle against your failing willpower, that doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to tomorrow. And sometimes, you’ll have to confront your mental demons, literally.
Paper Cages is a little shorter than I would have hoped, but for a game jam product, it’s fantastic. Perhaps someday, they’ll continue working on it. Try it for free on itch.io by clicking here.
