Papermasks

Submission to the 2026 Global Game Jam, hosted by the NYU Game Center. The theme for the game jam is "Masks". 

Controls: Mouse or Trackpad, Drag & Drop.

You find yourself in the study of an old manor. Before you is an absurd passage. Use the papermask cut outs on the left to scan the passage for hidden phrases. Within those phrases, click for key words until you've collected them all. These words will be jotted down in your journal in the drawer. Once you've located all hidden phrases and found all key words, you can solve the fill in the blank final deduction on the right page of the notebook to try and piece together what's really going on. 

**The fill in the blank is currently broken, as while you can drag and drop key words into blank slots, there is no way to check the current answer. Feel free to still fill in the blank or attempt to fill in the blank to see if you've picked up on the true mystery...
