What makes Papertale different

Your crew is your economy

Group iron-man: gear and power move only inside your permanent crew of four. Everyone else still shares the maps, the chat and the market for cosmetics and consumables.

Other players are good news

Critters are shared on field maps. EXP is split by damage dealt and loot goes to the crew that did the most, so tagging the last hit doesn't steal a kill.

Loops for the second monitor

Record yourself playing a route and let it repeat while you're online. Loops use the same inputs and cooldowns you do, which leaves bots little to offer.

No cash shop, no gacha

Every outfit and cosmetic is earned in the game. There's nothing to buy that makes you stronger and no random boxes.

Scrolls that sparkle

Classic gear scrolling: blue 100%, red 60%, purple 10%. Watch the sparkles fly when one lands.

A world with stories

A small Syllari companion follows you, notices new critters, warns about dangerous ones and tells you about the places you pass.
