This is a prototype made for GameDev.tv Game  Jam 2025. 

Somewhere in time a paperboy is born to carry the heaviest tale. But his message is snatched by a henchman of the dark - 

a puppet of the Nightmare Man. 

You must find what was once forgotten and deliver it back to the Source.   

CONTROLS (Keyboard only):

Moving : WASD or Arrows

Climbing : E and then WASD to move

In the first climb up the cloth, just sling yourself up by pressing W and then D to get over the metal bar frame. I had some difficulties implementing the climbing mechanic. Sorry for that. - Munkkipulla 

(UPDATE 27.5.2025)

PAPERBOY has an updated version with a bunch of new things like better climbing and better direction of game feel but it will be uploaded only after the jam.
