Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open Announced For PC and Consoles

Publisher Chorus Worldwide and developer Cellar Vault Games announced the next installment in the Paper Ghost Stories horror game series, Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open. The game is a “third-person narrative adventure rendered in a distinctive “paper theater” aesthetic,” where players will explore the game’s hand-drawn world, solve puzzles, play mini-games, and unravel mysteries inspired by Malaysian and Chinese myths. The game will launch in early 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam. 

Chorus Worldwide founder and CEO Shintaro Kanaoya commented on the announcement in a press release, saying:

“When we saw Cellar Vault Games’ 7PM, we knew we’d played something special. Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open takes many of the concepts that were in a fledgling form in 7PM and hugely expands upon them. We can’t wait to bring this mix of Malaysian culture, coming-of-age drama, and spine-tingling story and gameplay to fans of original adventures everywhere.”

Cellar Vault Games CEO and co-founder Benny Chan added:

“To bring our stories to PC and console players around the world is a dream come true. We hope to be telling Paper Ghost Stories for a long time to come, sharing tales of Malaysian folklore with as many people as possible. We can’t wait for everyone to experience Ting’s adventure!”

The game’s description via the publisher can be seen below:

Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open is a third-person narrative adventure rendered in a distinctive “paper theatre” aesthetic. Set in early 2000s Malaysia, the player takes the role of Ting, a young girl trying to come to terms with the burgeoning power inside her.

In the game the player will explore the beautifully hand-drawn world, solve puzzles, play mini-games, and unravel the mystery at the heart of the story. The game is the next instalment of the award-winning Paper Ghost Stories series, which began with the short game Paper Ghost Stories: 7PM. Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open is the first full-sized game in the franchise.
