About the game

Paper Trail is a top-down puzzle adventure about leaving home, set in a foldable paper world. You play as Paige, a budding academic, as she leaves home for the first time to pursue her studies.

Along the journey, you learn to fold the world, merging two sides to solve puzzles, explore new areas, and uncover long-lost secrets. What starts as simple path joining becomes more complex as you contort, spin, rotate, and twist the world.

Travelling through the folds introduces Paige to a unique cast of characters who share their stories and help her understand the wider world. The journey also takes her through handcrafted environments, from dark caves to tall treetops in the rain.

The game uses an art style inspired by flat aesthetics such as printmaking and watercolour, creating a paper-themed look.
