The puzzles build on meaningful mini stories about growing up and finding oneself. Overcoming challenges provides rewards of wisdom as well as passage.
IMMERSIVE WORLDS AND SOOTHING ART STYLE
While gameplay is engaging, Paper Trail’s art immerses you in serene environments. Handcrafted scenery bursts with life, from forest glens to cozy libraries. Stylized visuals drawn from printmaking and watercolors create a soothing aesthetic. As you fold new areas into view, enjoy the artistry crafted into every landscape.
