We were contacted via email by HypeTrain Digital to check out PaperHead. While Lucian focused on recording the gameplay itself, we reached out to Amity Plumeria to give her opinions of the game itself.
Maelstrom Hold takes a look at PaperHead, a creepy indie horror game available on Steam. In this gameplay review, we dive into this unsettling indie title and see what makes PaperHead stand out among the growing number of Steam indie horror games.
Recorded on 10/04/2026. This was recorded off a review copy and was filmed during an embargo preventing sharing of the recording, so sadly there was no live audience or commentary, more of that coming soon.
While we did receive this game for free, our opinions are our own and reflect our brand truthfully. We can not and will not be bought.
