Paper Trail is a puzzle game with a world made of double-sided pieces of paper. The protagonist, freshman Paige, has the power to fold them in such a way as to create a path for herself to places inaccessible to others.
Paper Trail is a puzzle game with adventure game elements, standing out for its unusual world, created from double-sided sheets of paper, which we manipulate during gameplay. It was developed and published by a small, indie London-based studio Newfangled Games.
Paige, whom we take on the role of, is a freshman and leaves her hometown neighborhood for the first time to reach the University and continue her studies. During her journey, she discovers many new picturesque places and the secrets associated with them, and learns about different people, their stories and wisdom. He moves through the world using her stealth skills and by combining his two sides, which she must expand.
We move through a 2D world made of interconnected double-sided pieces of paper. Using the extraordinary abilities of our heroine, we have to bend them in such a way (from eight sides) to create a path forward. We do this by appropriately connecting paths, moving and rotating their mobile pieces, recreating patterns, or using pressure fields and moving objects. Often this requires multi-step movements and the ability to retrace one's steps back to the starting point.
For the more ambitious, stars are hidden in some nooks and crannies of the maps, the collecting of which requires extra thinking.

Softpedia: 7.5 / 10 by Cosmin Vasile
Paper Trail is an indie game with plenty of soul that mixes successfully the narrative and gameplay parts into an immersive experience. While the story is interesting enough, what will keep you most invested in the game is figuring out how to fold and slide in order to solve the puzzles.
Nintendo Life: 9 / 10 by Mitch Vogel
Paper Trail is one of the finest puzzle games you can buy for the Switch right now. The storybook narrative, compelling visuals, and cleverly designed conundrums, all come together to make for a chill and enjoyable experience that you shouldn't miss, and you'd do well to keep an eye on what Newfangled Games does next. We'd give this one a high recommendation to anyone looking for a low-stakes yet sufficiently challenging new addition to their puzzle library.
