Origami-inspired adventure game Paper Trail finally launches on May 21st

Paper trail, the game that lets you fold the world around you, finally has a release date after multiple delays. The top-down puzzle game is scheduled to launch on May 21.

Developed and published by UK based New-fangled games, Paper trail combines craft-inspired art with a unique folding mechanic that lets you crease and bend your environment to connect new paths and solve puzzles. “Change the fabric of your world by twisting, turning, spinning, twisting around – as you try to unravel the puzzle of Paper trail,” reads the game’s description on Steam.

The game’s art style matches its folding mechanics, drawing inspiration from flat aesthetic styles including print and watercolor. You play as Paige (get it?), an 18-year-old aspiring astrophysicist with stupid parents, going to university to pursue her calling in scientific research. The programmer describes Paper trail so easy to understand but hard to master, and you can imagine how the game can tax your brain as it grows in intensity and complexity as you reach the later levels.

Paper trail will be available on PC, consoles (PS5 / PS4, Xbox Series X / S, Xbox One and Switch) and the Netflix mobile app (iOS and Android) on May 21. If PC is your preferred platform, now you can game wishlist on Steam.
