Developed by Newfangled Games, Paper Trail is a top-down puzzle adventure about leaving home, set in a foldable, paper world. You play as Paige, a budding academic, leaving home for the first time to pursue her studies. On the journey, you learn to fold the world, merging two sides to solve puzzles, explore new areas and uncover long-lost secrets.
What feels simple at first, folding and joining paths together to explore and progress, quickly becomes devilishly tricky! Alter the fabric of your world, contorting, spinning, rotating, twisting around – as you try to untangle each puzzle one page at a time.
Travel through the folds and explore a variety of handcrafted environments as Paige makes her journey to University, taking in the sights and wonders as she goes. From deep dark caves that have been untouched for years to the tallest treetops buffeted by rain. Along the way, Paige will be introduced to a unique cast of characters, who tell their stories and enlighten her about the wider world.
The game also features a beautiful art style that draws heavily from flat aesthetic styles, like printmaking and watercolour, blended together to create a uniquely styled game that compliments the paper theme.
