Turn your PS3 into a puppet theatre, with puppets that have swappable parts. If you lose your head, you can lose a life, however. A pair of magic scissors lets you cut and crop through this adventure. In the story, a young boy named Kutaro has been carried away by the maleficent Moon Bear King to a black castle and turned into a puppet. Kutaro displeased the tyrant, who then devoured the boy's wooden head and cast away his body. The headless hero discovers a special pair of scissors to help him on his adventure to find his head, and his way home. The game is set in a magical puppeteer's theater, with a constantly changing environment. On 9/4/13, Corey said: Puppeteer is a PS3 exclusive that is a side-scrolling platformer with a puppet-show theme. The magic scissors let you cut fabric, eliminate enemies and free souls, and they are very fun to use. The music captivates the story's image and backdrop with classical themes that suggest 18th to early 19th century Central Europe. Graphics are highly acceptable for any PlayStation 3 game, and are compatible with 3D technology, one of the best 3D technologies. Puppeteer's graphics and theme are consistent with the elaborate and playful themes of puppet shows.
