About Paper Trail

✦ AI summary

Paper Trail is a top-down puzzle adventure where you fold and manipulate a paper world to solve environmental puzzles and uncover secrets as Paige journeys toward university. The game's devilishly clever folding mechanics transform simple path-merging into complex spatial challenges, all wrapped in a stunningly handcrafted world inspired by printmaking and watercolor art.


Paper Trail is a top-down puzzle adventure about leaving home, set in a foldable, paper world. You play as Paige, a budding academic, leaving home for the first time to pursue her studies. On the journey, you learn to fold the world, merging two sides to solve puzzles, explore new areas and uncover long-lost secrets.

Fold the world, one page at a time


What feels simple at first, folding and joining paths together to explore and progress, quickly becomes devilishly tricky! Alter the fabric of your world, contorting, spinning, rotating, twisting around - as you try to untangle the puzzle of the Paper Trail.

Engaging puzzles, intriguing people


Solve puzzles that challenge your wits and bring you through the world of Paper Trail. Travelling through the folds will introduce Paige to a unique cast of characters, who tell their stories and enlighten Paige about the wider world.

Handcrafted beautiful environments


From deep dark caves that have been untouched for years to the tallest treetops buffeted by rain. Explore a variety of handcrafted environments as Paige makes her journey to University, taking in the sights and wonders as she goes.

An enchanting art style


Experience the art of Paper Trail which draws heavily from flat aesthetic styles, like printmaking and watercolour, blended together to create a uniquely styled game that compliments the paper theme.

Recommended Sep 29, 2026
Its a nice puzzle game. The drawings are creative and there is a minor story line. I'd give this a 10/10 for gameplay and fun and a 7/10 on the story.

Muy lindo juego puzzle, visualmente y en la forma original en la que se juega y desarrolla la historia. Llevo poco jugado y me están costando algunas partes, pero igualmente lo super recomiendo para quienes disfrutan de estos tipos de desafíos!

A lovely and very cute puzzle game I don't often try to get all the collectables in games but it was so fun to work out how to get them that I couldn't resist. Beautiful art-style and a charming story. I highly recommend this wonderful game :D
