Outstanding Visual Style
How awesome sounds that? Pretty awesome. We spent a lot of time designing and searching for Book of Demons' paper art style to create something unique but readable and, well, nice looking. Let me tell you a bit about that journey so you can decide for yourself if the game is worth your vote!
Developing the paper art style for R2G took us almost two years, but why we needed a unique art-style at all? Why didn’t we just make “normal” realistic graphics? Why it took us so long?
We wanted R2G to have an iconic look, and be adaptable to various themes. We considered taking a safe route and adopting a 2D or a 3D cartoon style. For a while, we thought about making everything of macaroni, voxels, or mono-color pixel art but all of these ideas were quickly scrapped.
One day someone said, why don’t we make each game in the series a book with the action taking place inside a paper pop-out world. Everyone on the team was sold on the idea. Paper is a very flexible material, so we could really do whatever we wanted with it!
And that's how we ended up with tons of pop-up books on our shelves and whole games taking place in one of those. If you enjoyed this short version of the art style search story you might enjoy this longer version on our blog.

Stay safe in the paper dungeons
