Step into a Miniature World of Animated Paper Wildlife | Short Film Showcase

Paper predators and prey spring to life in this visually stunning short from directors Dávid Ringeisen & László Ruska. An ordinary desk and typical office supplies are the backdrop for this micro-universe that carries the macro-message of wildlife conservation. While humans are left out of the piece, their impact is still present in a discarded cigarette butt that sparks an imaginary forest fire and an overflowing wastebasket that pollutes a fantastical rolling-chair river. This piece is part of the filmmakers' MOME thesis project, the animation department at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, Hungary and was created for WWF Hungary.

[@Caramelvampira]

OML IF U MAKE THIS INTO A GAME MY LIFE WITH BE COMPLETE

[@anikee9269]

Mh, it isn't exactly the same, but you could try "Shelter 2". The animation is really beautiful and the game itself is easy but not boring.
It's not really paper, but it kinda looks like it.

[@foullily8325]

Yes, like Anikee said, Shelter 1 and 2 and Paws are REALLY good examples of a game that looks similar to this. Its been three weeks, so you might of already seen and played them, but if you havent, I highly recommend them

[@TeegMonkey]

They even came out with a multiplayer shelter game

[@Caramelvampira]
