Interesting idea. There are also solo board games that can be carried in your pocket. Some of them listed here: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/273744/small-box-solo-gam... Recommendations are welcome :)

And some "Roll and Write" games in general:

“Paper Apps” seems like an overly snobby and infantilizing term for something we already had a term for: Puzzle Books / Notebooks.
I had the Dungeon Notebook. It was fun. I played it until I got bored, which was quick, then gave it away. The ability to "give away" these little games are part of the fun. I'd like to see a game like this where "giving it away" is part of the game. Something you can pass around a school or a con. Like an analog version of Chain World, which was a mini-Minecraft-on-a-USB-stick that you were supposed to pass on. ( ht…
Subnautica has a somewhat related concept which is that at the end of the game you have the ability to send a single time capsule to the maps of new players. They contain text, a picture (taken with the in game camera), and a handful of items. It's a cute little feature that allows you to send something helpful (or just amusing) to the next generation of players.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I believe he was being sarcastic and talking about old fashioned, actual paper books.

I showed a few software examples (among other things) and ended with "the most powerful anti-malware ever, compatible with every other anti-malware, adds a strong security layer to them, protects your passwords, prevents you from opening spam, from clicking unknown links, from replying to phishing, almost impossible to uninstal…
We (me and my 8 year old) loved the Dungeon one and really enjoyed, as a carry-with-you-for-when-you-are-bored item. Also cool is their d6 pencil, so you can roll a dice without having a dice, very smart idea. I am really inspired by ideas like this: you can generate engagement with simple things like a piece of paper and a pencil. And despite some of the comments, I love that they call it an "App" because it makes y…
I really like the idea. I have some notes/suggestions. I only saw the GALAXY video and my immediate thought was that I wouldn’t want to scribble over the levels. I understand that’s kind of the point but I’m confident I’d enjoy replaying the same level to “speed run” it or giving the books away to someone else later. What I think could work is a detachable acetate sheet to place over pages. This way you can play it o…
Personally I think this is a really cool idea: https://experiments.withgoogle.com/paper-phone . Both mildly mocking and thought provoking at the same time!
This looks a lot like the hipster PDA from two decades ago: https://lifehacker.com/printable-hipster-pda-104799
