A Tale of Paper: Refolded

This was an enjoyable game, but I feel like it's an 'on sale' game for sure. At the current price of $20 it feels a bit .. just lacking. The music is good, though not many tracks, but it sets the tone very well and is very gentle. The art and design is pretty decent, I think I only fell once because I was running and couldn't quite tell where the little pin lets were landing, but otherwise navigation was painless and obvious. The puzzles where very easy except for one where I have no clue about still involving colored pipes. The transformations were okay, but I feel the orders of play should have been reversed. I'd have preferred getting the bird first as the frog was such a nice upgrade and going to the bird second felt really annoying. The big part that got me was the story. I was making guesses throughout, and for a good chunk of things I was right.. but I would have liked more hints, more information about it. The final one with the flute was completely not expected, though. I truly thought we were in the same situation as the other two and would have loved more hints on that one. And finally, a minor annoyance: Why are there credits after every single one? I kept thinkin…

Awesome game, I can definitely recommend it. It’s simple to understand and just a fun platformer overall. It reminded me of Little Nightmares

I don't think I'd recommend this game. Most of it is fun, with clever puzzles, good visuals and a nice soundscape. I enjoyed most of my time and the whimsy of playing around in different shapes. But it's not a casual game, despite appearances. The cons suck the joy from the positives, which is compounded by the ridiculous boss battle in Melody. Sections where you die over and over again because of the poor depth perception and unhelpful camera angles. Bugs that force you to restart the level _all the way at the beginning_. Barely being able to see dark levels, even with the Steam Deck's brightness turned up (no in-game brightness settings). I admit I expected a more casual game. But even so, the difficulty is super inconsistent between levels, with some parts having such narrow margins that it takes many, many frustrated tries.

even on low graphics and lower resolution it runs like a pig. Despite having PS icons due to releasing on PS5 there's no settings option to show those icons. Extremely slow between scenes etc... Would not recommend.

Not bad .. 6 / 10

Had so much fun! Perfect quick puzzle game with cute characters and environment.
