Amazing Game

I loved this game. It was so good that it made me want to write a review - my first after years of playing various games. The puzzles and the gameplay, from my viewpoint, were phenomenal. I wasn’t sure what to expect before I started playing. I like origami and playing games, especially puzzle games, which is why I decided to give this game a shot. It truly surprised me. I enjoyed every second of it, even when I got stuck (which was eventually followed by, “Oh, it can fold that way. Doh!”). I really loved the folding aspect, which gave so many possibilities, which in my case, frequently resulted in some failure and backtracking. I’m still not completely sure how I completed one section. The only thing I didn’t like was that I got to the end too quickly. I really would have liked to play more and am somewhat disappointed that there’s not much left for me to do but wait and hope for a sequel or something (or wait a while and play it again when it’s not so fresh in my mind).

Fun comfy puzzle game

I had so much fun playing this. The game Oozes charm in a way that I haven’t been able to find in most mobile games. The story and art style work well together in a way that’s very calming. The puzzles and engaging but not stressful (you can’t really fail just get caught on a snag, it’s more of a adjusting as you go type of thing). You could probably complete it in few hours if you wanted to but I recommend taking your time(I took about a week to finish it). Fun game definitely recommend. Ps this my first review of a game in awhile so sorry if I missed any information.

Mostly good, a little buggy

The game mechanic is fun and they do a lot of interesting variations on it. The problems, on my old iPad5: 1. In the bits between chapters, it freezes if you fold the picture in half horizontally. I missed the big reveal in the plot. (If there was no big reveal, that’s lousy storytelling.) 2. If you try to go to the Autumn chapter, it takes you to the Ruins chapter. I played the Ruins chapter 5 times trying to find the missing Autumn origami. 3. They don’t show you chapter titles inside the game, the chapters are not numbered, and the map of chapters isn’t linear. Figuring out the sequence of chapters isn’t easy if you don’t check the map and take note the first time around.

Aesthetic Brain Teaser

Excellent puzzles, a good balance of challenge and fun. When I got stuck, I found taking a break and coming back with fresh eyes a little while later usually did the trick. The art & music are beautiful and calming. The gibberish speak of the people Paige encounters on her way never failed to get a chuckle out of me. The story is a little melancholy but still very beautiful in the way melancholy stories can be. I’ve been very skeptical of “Netflix games” bc it just seemed like a money grab to me, but the trailer I saw for this was too intriguing. A lovely time. Definitely recommend.

Cute and challenging

A good challenge, some parts of it were hard to see and I wish I had an iPad instead of a phone for this game, but was always able to get through. Sometimes I would get stuck and the hints are subtle, not too revealing. I loved going through the journey a second time to collect the origami pieces that I missed the 1st time through, they were still tricky. Fun and cute. Sad that it’s done and hope to find more like this one!

Great puzzle concept!

Really enjoyed this game. The puzzles are tricky, but not so much that you get frustrated, and there’s a great hint system to go with it if you do get stuck. I really enjoyed the evolution of the puzzles throughout the game, adding new elements along the way. The storyline was cute, but mostly a vehicle for tying the puzzles together, and the music was enchanting enough that it was both present and appealing, and didn’t detract from the focus on the puzzles. Well done all around!

Gorgeous Puzzle Adventure

This game took me a few tries before I began to appreciate its surprising depth and beautiful design. The puzzles are inspired. I’ve never seen the origami concept used better in a game. Folding paper isn’t just a cool design flourish, it’s the way you move through the game. The mechanics are fantastic! I didn’t expect the few pieces of paper in each scene to be capable of producing such wonderfully clever puzzles. The story, the sound design and the music all work together to create a wonderful world. The creators made a work of art that’s a pleasure to experience. There’s quite a lot of content with lots to explore and extras to discover. Even so, I enjoyed this game so much that I would love to see Paper Trail 2.

Addictive and really fun!!

I played this game via my Netflix subscription. Honestly, I normally never play games but the artwork and game mechanics are beautiful and unique so I gave it a try. I definitely recommend this game as the puzzles are fun and decently challenging. In my opinion, the story is a bit lacking but other than that, I was hooked on the game. Thank you Newfangled team!!
