Paperbound is a game where storybook characters come to life and battle within the pages of books like Journey to the Center of the Earth. Magic has given them the ability to adjust their gravity direction to whatever surfaces they're standing on

Between one and four players (with AI bots added in the mix) run with scissors, walk on walls, and lob ink bombs in whimsical-yet-intense battles within the pages of old books. In addition to the 360 degrees of gravitational freedom, several other twists add to the tension and drama of a match, such as the "escape through the page tear" victory mechanic which brings a second phase to the combat and causes players to momentarily team up with their adversaries.

The Paperbound team is excited to reveal that I bots will be included in both the PS4 and Steam versions of the game at launch.

The inclusion of these skillful bots allows solo players to enjoy the experience and is also great for simply filling out additional slots--perfect for team games with an odd number of players. Each particular AI character has their own play style and personality. For example, Juan Aguacate is aggressive and prefers melee, while Ninjeddy is more cautious and makes adept use of all available weapons. The bots also adapt to player skill level, and can be used in all game modes.

Paperbound will be available for $9.99.
