About Paper Life: Territory-Capture Strategy on Squared-Paper
Paper Life is a territory-capture strategy set on a giant squared-paper book. The world around you keeps living: 24 AI powers and growing cities play on their own, whether or not you are actively at the controls. Build structures, make suppressors, send squads along paths of cells, and capture rival cells one by one.
The game runs on phone and desktop, in both portrait and landscape orientations, and supports English and Russian.
How to Play Paper Life
Open a cell by tapping it, then build one of the available structures there. Once suppressors are ready, send a squad along a path of cells toward a rival cell. Win the fight to capture that cell — each capture costs absorbers. A video watch boosts matter income by 50 %.
