You play as an imaginative little girl helping to maintain your dolls and their village that you created using arts and crafts supplies. Help them with their tasks: cut shapes out of paper, braid hair, and paint while you learn more about their lives. The fantasy is perfect — until conversations from the real-world start seeping in, and eventually, you are forced to confront your reality.
Karimah’s Paracosm is a 2.5D narrative game centred around arts-and-crafts and a deeper underlying narrative, perfect for players who are drawn to childlike, nostalgic settings, with a mix of heavier themes such as emotional neglect & dysfunctional families.
