Now I’m not sure how deeply the developer’s explore the abuse and poverty angles, but, regardless, these seem like risky themes to include in a PSN exclusive. While I didn’t get a chance to see “the monster” (or is it a rhinoceros?) in the demo, I assume he makes up the “Papo” part of the game’s title, a frightening presence in the protagonist’s waking-world. All this is overshadowed by the looming presence of an unseen monster. Caterpillar’s made of houses, obstacles traversed by wind-up keys and gears, and a landscape of rusted roofs, distressed buildings, and street art are all spectacular sights that would be at home in a cuban child’s imagination. Visually, Papo y Yo is like taking a tour in the creative and sometimes frightening mind of a child (albeit an abused child living in poverty). Now that I have played my way through the brief teaser, I find that I am surprised by how much I want to shell out the $14.99 for the full download. In-fact, boredom was the real motivator to download the demo.

Players will need to learn to use Monster’s emotions, both good and bad, to their advantage if they want to complete their search for a cure and save their pal. And yet, Quico loves his Monster and wants to save him.Īs Quico, players will build their friendship with Monster by solving puzzles together and adventuring through a magical, surrealist world. The minute he sees one hop by, he’ll scarf it down and fly into a violent, frog-induced rage where no one, including Quico, is safe. That said, Monster does have a very dangerous problem: an addiction to poisonous frogs. Quico’s best friend, Monster, is a huge beast with razor-sharp teeth, but that doesn’t scare Quico away from playing with him.
