About the Game

Step into the boots of a legend.

Paul Bunyan is a fast-paced 3D Action RPG that reimagines the American folktale as a high-stakes battle against primordial forces. From the frozen peaks of the North to deep, corrupted woodlands, you must wield the power of the Great Woodsman to protect the frontier.  This is a free demo game, with more to come.

The Power of Amber

In this world, Amber isn't just a resource—it’s the fuel of legends. Collect ancient Amber stones to charge your energy and unleash the true power of Paul Bunyan.

Become the Giant

Master the unique Two-State Transformation mechanic:

  • The Woodsman: In your normal form, use speed and precision to navigate treacherous environments and battle swarms of enemies. Gather Amber to reach 100% capacity.

  • The Legend: Once fully charged, transform into a towering Giant. Tower over your foes, clear massive environmental obstacles, and go toe-to-toe with colossal bosses.

  • The Cycle: While in Giant mode, you must continue to harvest Amber to stabilize your form and return to normal, creating a strategic loop of power and survival.

Epic Boss Encounters

Face off against mythic guardians across three distinct environments:

  • The Frost Giant: Survive the sub-zero peaks and defeat the titan of the North.

  • The Forest Spirit: Venture into the Deep Woods to cleanse a corrupted, towering beast of the earth.

  • The Mountain Guardian: Reach the summit for a final showdown that will test your ability to switch between Man and Myth.

Key Features:

  • Dynamic Combat: Seamlessly transition between axe-throwing precision and giant-scale devastation.

  • Three Crafted Environments: Explore high-fidelity landscapes designed to showcase the massive scale of the world.

  • Legendary Lore: A fresh, action-oriented take on the Paul Bunyan mythos.
