Thronefall has been an inspiration, we loved it !! But we are trying to propose new things with the fire, painting and spells.
Come try the demo, and tell us if you feel the difference. That means a lot to us !

Oh, and one more thing...

We added Paint Spells to give Paper Castle more depth.
Upgrade your castle, fill the gauge, and unleash the Paint Spells.

Water explosions or giant mountains? Which one are you picking for your loadout? 🎨πŸ”₯

You survived the fire. Now comes the best part. 😌

The Wave of Restoration returns the paper world to its original state and triggers resource collection for everything still standing.

Survive the burn. Get paid. Repeat.

Walls are just a suggestion when Fire Archers are on the field.

In Paper Castle, these units can ruin your day if you aren't prepared

The good news? They love to group up.
Which tower would you use to stop them? πŸ‘‡

POV: You spent hours building a beautiful paper kingdom and then this guy shows up. πŸ‚πŸ”₯

Rule #1: Do not let the suicide beef touch the walls.
Unless you like giant barbecues. πŸ–

The King is the core of Paper Castle πŸ‘‘

He builds and upgrades using resources,
can paint terrain,
and switches between weapons during combat.

He’s powerful,
but fire can take him down.

Long live the King.

We started with a placeholder

Then we kept iterating.
A lot.

Concept, modeling, texturing, rig, animation.
He finally feels like he belongs in the world.

Huge difference πŸ˜„

Level painting started as pure visuals.

We tied it directly to gameplay.
Forests reinforce.
Water slows fire.
Terrain affects outcomes.

Every brushstroke now
changes how the level plays.

Paper Castle is a minimalist strategy game where you build, paint, and defend your kingdom of paper.
Harness the power of water to protect it from relentless flames and enemy hordes.

Will your Paper Castle survive the next wave?

POV: you keep tweaking the paper look.

A bit more texture here,
slightly rougher edges there.

Still paper.
Just a little more alive πŸ™‚

Fire Piercers weaken buildings with fire before attacking.
Sniper towers are a good counter 🎯
Long range and focused damage let you deal with them early.

Small matchup,
big difference.

Hi, nights felt a bit empty in Paper Castle πŸŒ™
So we added small lights to the buildings.

It makes the world feel more alive.
(And no, they’re definitely not powered by fire πŸ˜„

Hi friends!
Your paper castle isn’t just towers.
Walls, wells and barracks can be upgraded too.

Some get tougher,
some give more resources,
some unlock special effects.
It helps.
But paper still burns

Ashlings don’t rush you.
They pressure you.
They force bad timing.
They punish hesitation.

In Paper Castle, some enemies win by waiting for your destruction

Resource buildings are about scale.

The more you have,
the faster your economy grows.

Placement still matters,
but volume is what unlocks options.

POV: you spend way too long
tuning fire VFX.

Slightly more readable,
a bit less noisy,
and much easier to track under pressure.

Totally worth it πŸ˜…

In Paper Castle, painting used to be mostly about looks.

Now it quietly affects fire spread,
defense strength,
and how safe an area actually is.

Still looks nice though πŸ™‚

Towers are not protection.
They are a bet.
Place them right,
and the fire slows.
Place them wrong,
and your castle burns anyway.
