Henry Hoffman, Founder of Newfangled Games comments:
We are thrilled to be partnering with Netflix on Paper Trail. This game has been our passion project for over two years and we can’t wait for players to experience what we’ve been working on when it’s released later this year. Collaborating with Netflix is a huge achievement for us as a team. From publishing and helping us reach millions of players around the world, the support they’ve provided has been incredible. It’s truly been an honor. We hope players enjoy Paper Trail as much as we loved creating it!
Key features of Paper Trial include:
- A Folding World – folding and joining paths together to explore and progress. Alter the fabric of the world, contorting, spinning, rotating, and twisting as players try to untangle the puzzles.
- Engaging Puzzle and Intriguing People – puzzles that challenge wits and bring the player through the world of Paper Trail. Traveling 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 watercolor, blended to create a uniquely styled game that compliments the paper theme.
Paper Trial is slated for launch on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and the Netflix App in 2023. A confirmed release date will be announced later and if you are interested in playing the game on PC, you can head over to the official Steam page of the game and add the game to your wishlist.
