# Papered > About This Game Papered is a fast-paced first-person arena hack-and-slash set inside a living sketchbook. In a world made entirely of paper and ink, drawings come to life — and you’re the one cutting them down. Fight through chaotic arenas where enemies are printed, sketched, and assembled from paper. Slice them apart with scissors, tear through them with your blade, and splatter the world with ink as the battlefield slowly fills with color. Every enemy you defeat bursts into paper fragments. Collect them, upgrade your weapons, and push your build further as the arena fills with increasingly dangerous foes. But beware: the world fights back. Enemies evolve, printers churn out reinforcements, and the chaos grows with every minute you survive. The longer you last, the more intense the fight becomes. Features Fast First-Person Hack-and-Slash Combat Cut, slice, and tear through waves of paper enemies with responsive melee combat and dynamic movement. A Living Paper World Everything is hand-drawn. Enemies crumple, rip, and explode into fragments as ink splatters across the black-and-white world. Arena Survival Chaos Face ever-increasing enemy waves in compact arenas where the action never slows down. Collect and Upgrade Gather paper fragments from fallen enemies to upgrade your weapons and abilities mid-run. Evolving Enemies Enemies grow stronger, adapt, and return with new armor and abilities as the battle escalates. Every Run Is Different Choose upgrades, experiment with builds, and see how long you can survive. Enter the notebook. Sharpen your scissors. And start cutting.
