About Paper Sorcerer

A group of heroes has sealed a powerful sorcerer inside a magical tome. Playing as the prisoner, you explore its dungeons, fight the heroes sent to subdue you and seek a way to recover your powers.

Outside combat, environmental puzzles can be solved through spells, items and observation. They can reveal secret paths and additional loot as the sorcerer seeks to recover his powers.

What makes it worth a look?

  • Energy management: Special attacks draw on an energy pool in a battle system that leaves behind conventional mana and to-hit rolls.
  • Summoned allies: Unlock a healing Witch, trickster Imp, assassin Troll and berserker Minotaur to shape the party’s roles.
  • Drawn creatures: Hand-drawn, high-resolution sprites give the book-bound adventure its visual identity.

Is this game right for you or your group?

  • Party tactics. A single player assembles the creature party and chooses how its roles and special attacks work together.
  • Puzzle breaks. Spells, items and observation matter outside combat as well as in battle.
