Papercade debuts in the spotlight, headlining as an Official Digital
Selection at this year's international game festival IndieCade, October
9-12 in LA.



Designed for all ages, free and easy to use, Papercade delivers a new
experience to the growing worldwide audience making and sharing games
today. Players can create "storygames" from funny to fantastical, from
personal to political--and everything in between.



"We were inspired by the miniature worlds and dioramas that we built
inside shoe boxes when we were kids," said Hololabs Co-founder and
Chief Creative Officer, Paul Warne. "Papercade brings back this simple
joy of crafting and sharing stories from things we make ourselves."



Charming sets and a vintage feel form the backdrop for Papercade, where
players can place their own heroes, villains and props into the mix.
Papercade provides a range of tools and actions to make original
storygames and share them with friends. Players can easily customize
characters from images of family, friends and pets, placing these
cutouts into 3D scrapbook environments.



"In designing Papercade, we challenged ourselves to develop a mobile
game that brings together the hands-on and nostalgic elements of
today's maker movements with the world's insatiable appetite for taking
and sharing photos," said Hololabs Co-founder and CTO, Mike Wozniewski.



Papercade is available now on the App Store for iPad. Click HERE to download.
