** SPOILER ALERT** If you play my game a little longer, you'll see that you can do interesting things with paper. You will soon discover that there are many secrets in the game that you should reveal. It all starts with a simple paper inspection using an ultraviolet lamp and gets more and more difficult.

How do I play this game? I cant get past the first level! I want to rate it well but idk what I am doing lol
Okay I figured it out and finished the game man that was a lot of papers lol
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it!
LMAO the amongus. I think it was a unique idea! Adding sound effects would have helped the interaction. I managed to find the lamp clue and the guy with the thumbs up but I’m unsure if that was the true ending. I feel there is potential to push this idea further with more secrets. Overall good work!
Thank you so much! To be honest, it seems you got stuck at the beginning of the game :) After the first UV hint (about heating the ice), you should find a sheet of paper with the ice and try to heat it up (using any heat source on your table). I hope you will not skip the rest of the game!
is there a guide? i didn't understand anything...
Yes, there are instructions below the game window and on the first sheet of paper in the game :)
I love it when games have an unexpected twist or surprise! I thought I was stumped several times playing this game, but I managed to beat it! Really cool concept. Like others said, this could use some extra visual/audio polish.
Thanks!
Fun puzzle, just needs some sound or music though. I also feel like it might be better if you just had to click the paper stack instead of dragging it.
Thank you for your feedback!
Very fun game with a super unique concept that is, in my opinion, quite well executed! It was a little unintuitive at first but once I got the hang of it I got super invested in figuring out the puzzles and making my little figures. The variety was nice and when I occasionally stumbled upon something new it was always an exciting moment. The core gameplay loop almost reminds me an old game called Little Inferno, if you've ever heard of it. I really liked the split-panel thing with the two separate views, I'm a sucker for perspectives like that. My only feedback would be perhaps a hint button like others suggested, but overall, this is a great game and a really solid entry! Good job!
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your feedback! I haven't played Little Inferno, but I've added it to my wishlist (it's the game by the creator of World of Goo!).
Great game, but a hint button would be nice. I'm a little to dumb for these puzzles.
Yes, I agree. I realized this when people started writing that they were stuck on a certain riddle. It would be convenient to have a hint button for the current puzzle. Thanks for playing!
Got a bit tedious to place and destroy each piece but fun little puzzle game! Also got stuck with the fire on my cursor and had to restart
Yeah, sometimes the cursor breaks :( And the figure making is a bit boring, I agree. I tried to diversify it with different colours and figure types... Anyway, thanks for playing!
It's a cool puzzle game, I really like it. However, it lacks sound. I couldn't really figure it out after policeman checks 13th, can I get a hint?
If you go through the comments you can see other people who asked that, and basically just count 12 after a green paper appears, and on the 13th ultraviolet inspect it
It lacks sound, 100% sure. Originally I wanted to add sound (of paper sheets, crafting, fire, etc) and also visual effects (light from the candle, rain outside). But I finished the core mechanics 4 hours before the deadline and I felt exhausted... Maybe I will improve the game later (if people like my game).
Anyway! Thanks for playing!
How do I put the flower on the table? I've seen people talking about it, but I haven't been able to do it.
Completed the game, really clever!
Thank you!!!
I brought the flower to the table but wasn't sure what to do after that... fun use of the concept! I had a good time figuring it out, but sometimes I was spending a lot of time trying stuff out that wasn't a part of the puzzle.
Any hints for after the flowers message?
Cool, you almost finished the game!
A little hint - when you place the flower on the table, it says that you should sacrifice something. After that, keep making paper figures and you should find a special figure that you haven't seen before.

HUGE BIG SPOILER HINT - Keep making figures. When you make Pochita (chainsaw dog) - burn it.
Nice I went back and beat it. Love the Pochita sprite. I assume its a CSM reference? Fun little ending!
Awesome! Yes, it is a reference because I am a huge fan of the Chainsaw Man manga :)
Me too! I haven't even seen the show because I don't think it's translatable and don't want to imagine how its animated when I'm reading the new stuff. I'll watch it once the manga is over though, i guess. +2 for the reference!
That's really good. The idea and the use of the limitation is 10/10.
I fertilized the flower, but got stuck after that
Thank you!
SPOILER — So when the flower changes, try to bring it to the table ;)
I LOVE IT! <3
I really like this idea, I could do with a hint though.... I can't figure out what to do with the 12 cars riddle. plz help
Thank you! I think this is the most difficult secret, so here's a hint#1 - you should skip 12 cars after the green light and check the 13d. You can see the GREEN light (what can be green in the table?) then skip 12 cars after it (what can you skip/drop in this game?) and check the 13d
HUGE SPOILER! If the hint above does not help - after you see a green paper on the table, drop it, then drop 12 papers and then check 13d with the ultraviolet lamp
ahhhh, I was actually so close! I counted 12 but I didn't wait for green light!! I got it in the end! Thanks for a fun game!
Thanks for playing! Did you finish the game by the way?:)
Ah, so this is what you do!
lmao was thinking the same thing
my brain is way too smoothhhhh
