Before the Paper Curtain

A lightweight interactive stage story shaped by four rehearsal decisions.

Step into the role of Su Mo, a substitute stage manager for a community paper puppet festival. Before the 3:00 PM curtain, you must turn competing ideas into a clear opening performance.

Make four meaningful choices, place stage marks, unlock cue ribbons, and guide puppets and rhythm toward one of two complete endings.
