A lone protagonist in a paper spaceship tries to escape an alien-infested nebula with the help of a legacy AI unit called K11lR. The starships are shaped like sea creatures. Some of them are stickers, for reasons that will eventually become clear. Acquire alien technology to unlock new weapons, reinforce your ship against the punishment it will take, and build toward ultimate abilities like ship duplication. The Paper Nebula is a roguelike that wants one more run from you every time.
