About Cutout Village
Cutout Village is a relaxing indie city‑builder where you revive a quiet medieval‑inspired settlement by cutting, folding and gluing paper sheets. The game blends paper‑craft aesthetics with light simulation, letting you expand at your own pace.
Collect new building templates, trade with villagers for coins, and grow fruit to progress the story. Every unlocked structure is also offered as a printable PDF, so you can recreate the digital village in the real world.
01 / THE GUIDE
Paper Building Mechanics
To grow your village you must cut, fold and glue paper sheets you collect. Each new building appears as a physical model on the digital map and opens further expansion options.
The process is unhurried; the game is playable without timed input, allowing you to craft at a comfortable speed while watching the village slowly come back to life.
- Take your time with each cut and fold to avoid visual mistakes.
- Observe how the shape of newly unlocked buildings changes the village’s overall style.

Fruit Harvest and Trade
You can grow and harvest different types of fruit, which serve as a resource for unlocking additional buildings. Harvested fruit also contributes to the village’s economy.
Coins earned from trading with villagers can be spent on improving your tools and skills, supporting your crafting and building activities.
- Notice which fruit types appear early; they often correspond to the first building unlocks.
- Balance trading for coins with saving resources for future upgrades.

Story and Village Revival
You inherit an old family home in a once‑quiet village that has become almost completely deserted. Through environmental storytelling you gradually uncover the village’s history.
As you help the remaining inhabitants, new characters and situations appear, moving the narrative forward while the village visually regains life.
- Pay attention to background details; they often hint at past events.
- Notice how each new building adds context to the village’s story.

This feature bridges the in‑game experience with hands‑on crafting, allowing you to display your progress outside the computer.
- Print on thicker paper for sturdier models.
- Match printed colors with the in‑game palette for consistency.
