Paper Trail: Official Launch Date Announcement
Prepare to unfold the story of Paige and dive into the world of Paper Trail!
I can't believe we're actually saying this but we can now announce that Paper Trail will be launching on the 21st of May !
Five years ago, me and my brother were scribbling on a loose sheet of A4, wondering if we could make a game where you fold the world like paper. Now here we are, preparing to launch!
A huge thank you to everyone who has been following along since the beginning, thank you for your patience, feedback, suggestions, and encouragement. We genuinely wouldn't have been able to get here without your help!
We've been able to make something that we're all very proud of here - and since the demo we've added loads and loads of really cool things that we never thought we'd be able to a few years ago. A fully voiced story with beautiful bespoke illustrations, a big cast of quirky animated characters, ambitious new mechanics and environments, buckets of collectibles and achievements, a full original soundtrack, all sorts of secrets and Easter eggs, and of course you can now pet the cat!
Enjoy the new trailer, for a taste of what we've been busy working on for all this time, and thank you all once again!
Happy Folding, and roll on May!
Achievements!
Hello everybody!
Sorry for the delay on news, we've all been working our butts off finishing the game, the end is so close; not long at all to go.
In the meantime, we've got a nice little update for you all, we've added LOADS of achievements to the game, 35 in total!
All the more reason to hunt for every secret, collectable, animal, and puzzle that you can find.
Each achievement has a cool little hand drawn trophy to go with it, see how many you can discover!
Even more excitingly than that, petting the cat is now possible - possibly our most requested feature ever.
Lots more exciting updates to come over the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled - this is just a taste!
