The point-and-click sections aren’t hugely suitable for Switch controls. The way you move the camera could be easier, especially when examining the furniture. None of these are close to game-breaking, but they’re enough to get a bit grating if you’re playing for long stretches at a time.

Critic reviews
- Paper Cut Mansion does not quite revolutionalize the roguelite genre, but it definitely incorporates all the reasons why fans like it. This game draws you in with its unique style, and it then keeps you playing with simple gameplay and mysteries that beg to be solved, even if the ultimate answers are a bit more boring than expected.
- 7.0Paper Cut Mansion is a fun, if simplified, roguelite that benefits from a charming art style. The game opens with a warning that the adventure is themed around horror but it’s really hard to be scared of violent paper cutouts.
- 5.0As it is, the interesting concept and excellent art direction can’t make up for shallow gameplay and clunky mechanics. Nothing in this game is terrible, but there are far better roguelites out there to spend your time and money on.
- 5.0Paper Cut Mansion offers some interesting dimension-hopping gameplay, enjoyable puzzles, and unique cardboard visuals that make it standout from similar titles in the genre. However, it's ultimately let down by its slow pacing and repetition of content.
- 8.0Paper Cut Mansion has a good mix of ideas with some issues around implementation, delivering a good experience for adventure game fans who want a few twists on the familiar concepts of the genre.
