Paperbark: the adorable Wombat

June 28, 2018

No, I’m not drunk, you know I don’t drink in the morning. What I want to talk you about today is an adorable little game for iPhone and iPad, and if you have an Android just do what my significant other did: hook up with someone who has an iPad. We’re fun and not all of us are fanatics, I promise.

Paperbark is really a beautiful game and you can read all about it here.

a game that tells a charming short story of the bush, a wombat and a very hot Australian Summer.

Everything in this game is charming and delicate and beautiful, from the watercoloured painting tha you discover with gentle brushes of your fingers to the wandering wombat himself (or is she a lady wombat?), animated with a vibrant love.

Music and voiceover is just perfect and your aim is to discover new places, catch butterflies and bugs, interact with the rest of the wildlife. Drama is around the corner but – SPOILER ALERT! – there’s a happy ending waiting for you too. Oh, and if you can find that last butterfly just let me know.

Many thanks to @LxFrancis, one of my endless supplies of beautiful things on Twitter, for making me discover this charming game. You can buy Paperbark on the Apple Store. Or you can watch the trailer below and go buying it afterwards.
