Origami Paradise is a free-to-play simulation from SEASUN CORPORATION LIMITED.

With intuitive gameplay, a fun and colorful art style, and a rewarding progression, Origami Paradise is an addictive casual game. You can play it at your own pace or spend hours folding and designing your origami animals. Imagine Wonder Zoo - Animal Rescue combined with Origy: Origami from Paper.

Build a different kind of zoo

As the name suggests, Origami Paradise mainly focuses on paper-folded animals, based on the Japanese art of paper-folding. The first thing to note about this is its art style, which is both cute and fun to watch. It uses angular shapes that highlight where the folds of the paper figures are. Matched with bright colors and fun animations, this makes for a fun casual experience.

In terms of gameplay, here’s where the origami aspect shines through. Aside from creating these nice creatures, you also have customization options such as filling them with colors, patterns, and stickers. For added immersion, although at the cost of a slight suspension of disbelief, is that you can also feed and bathe these paper animals. Also, you can build and grow their habitat to your liking.

Of course, the animals are not entirely accessible, since it features a randomized drawing of animals. These gacha-based mechanics can leave you unable to earn certain animals. Paired with its in-app microtransactions, it creates an unfair advantage for people willing to spend real-world money. Lastly, its quests and other activities are often interrupted by ads. Some of them are full-screen and unskippable for a couple of seconds.

A fun and potentially addictive game

Overall, Origami Paradise banks on its cute visuals and its zoo simulation premise to create a fun and addictive experience. You build a zoo, pull for different animals, and watch them and their habitat grow according to your taste. The use of origami-style character designs is the centerpiece of this app. Unfortunately, it can get challenging as a free-to-play game.
