In the game, a young girl called Paige (get it?) is leaving home for the first time to study. You&#8217;ll need to help Paige by using your paper-craft skills by folding and unfolding the world to make a path.<\/p>\n<p>The game has garnered plenty of awards in the run-up to its release, such as &#8216;Most Innovative&#8217; at IndieX and &#8216;Best Family Game&#8217; at the Gamescom Awards. But don&#8217;t just believe the accolades \u2014 have a look at the game below and check the main features below:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u2022 A folding world \u2013<\/strong> folding and joining paths together to explore and progress. Alter the fabric of the world, contorting, spinning, rotating, twisting as players try to untangle the puzzles.<strong><br \/>\u2022 Engaging puzzles and intriguing people \u2013<\/strong> puzzles that challenge wits and bring the player through the world of Paper Trail. Travelling through the folds will introduce Paige to a unique cast of characters, who tell their stories and enlighten Paige about the wider world.<strong><br \/>\u2022 Handcrafted beautiful environments \u2013<\/strong> from deep dark caves that have been untouched for years to the tallest treetops buffeted by rain. Explore a variety of handcrafted environments as Paige makes her journey to university, taking in the sights and wonders as she goes.<strong><br \/>\u2022 An enchanting art style \u2013<\/strong> experience the art of Paper Trail which draws heavily from flat aesthetic styles, like printmaking and watercolour, blended to create a uniquely styled game that compliments the paper theme.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Images: Newfangled Games<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><figcaption class=\"caption\"><em class=\"credit\">Images: Newfangled Games<\/em><\/figcaption><\/aside>\n<p>If Paper Trail has managed to sign, seal, and deliver with everything above, you won&#8217;t need to wait too long. The game is due out later this year on Switch, and it looks like it&#8217;ll fold over the puzzle game world with its unique gameplay and charming visuals.<\/p>\n<p><em>Are you folded over by Paper Trail?
