Malaysian Horror Game Paper Ghost Stories Third Eye Open Launches This September

Chorus Worldwide and Malaysian developer Cellar Vault Games have announced that Paper Ghost Stories Third Eye Open will launch on 5 September 2024 for PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

In Paper Ghost Stories Third Eye Open, you are Ting, a young girl who is able to see the spirits around her. You form a remarkable friendship with a young ghost, Xiu, who is seeking peace. Together you will face challenges from both the real and the spirit worlds, as you battle for your mind and morality and discover whether this power is a gift or a curse.

Third Eye Open is presented in a stunning, living “paper theatre” style, inspired by the Joss-Papercraft of Southeast Asia. From its activities and locations, to its characters and dialogue, the story is steeped in Malaysian tradition, culture and folklore. You’ll visit the Morning Markets, befriend an elderly monk, feast on Lok Lok and Nyonya Kuih at the Night Market, avoid the wandering spirits of the woods, and much more.

Third Eye Open is the next instalment of the award-winning Paper Ghost Stories series, which began with the short game “7PM”. These creepy tales are inspired by Malaysian and Chinese myths and culture.
