VANCOUVER, Canada — September 5th 2024 —  Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open, the hauntingly beautiful adventure from Cellar Vault Games and Chorus Worldwide Games, arrives today on PC via Steam, PlayStation®5, Xbox One (X|S Compatible) and Nintendo Switch™.

 

In Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open, players will guide the journey of Ting, a young girl who possesses the extraordinary ability to see spirits. Alongside her ghostly companion, Xiu, Ting must navigate a world filled with supernatural intrigue and real-world challenges, as she wrestles with the question: is her gift a blessing or a curse?

The game spans five formative years of Ting’s childhood, capturing her struggles to understand her powers and her place in a world where she feels different. As her family teeters on the edge of collapse, Ting faces difficult choices, complex puzzles, and hidden threats while seeking to aid lost souls and save her loved ones. Competing spirits with their own agendas will both aid and hinder her path, making every decision critical in her quest for peace.

"Third Eye Open" is deeply rooted in Malaysian culture, tradition, and folklore, offering players an immersive experience. Explore vibrant settings like the Morning Markets, enjoy local delicacies such as Lok Lok and Nyonya Kuih at the Night Market, converse with a wise old monk, and beware of spirits lurking in the shadows. The game’s stunning "paper theatre" visuals offer a unique aesthetic that brings the world of Southeast Asian traditions to life in a way never seen before.

 

“We’re so excited to be launching Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open” said Shintaro Kanaoya, CEO of Chorus Worldwide. “Our ongoing mission to showcase passionate developers from around the world couldn’t be better represented than by Cellar Vault Games’ stunning follow-up to 7PM. We can’t wait for players to enter Ting’s enchanted/cursed world in all its visual splendor.”

"It's just been so cool to develop the style and look of Third Eye Open, watching it grow from a proof of concept and some previsualization to something of this length!” said Eshan Jayatilaka of Cellar Vault Games. “We hope people have as much fun playing it as we did making it!
