Here's a picture of me giving a thumbs up for Isles of Sea and Sky. Metacritic if you're reading, that's a 10/10.

Alright, I'm off to play Duck Detective now! Hope you all enjoy the bundle.

Hey everyone!

In case you missed it, Paper Trail is out now! We’re doing a Steam broadcast for the next two weeks with Katie our community manager, and Fred the art lead. They’re not going to be live the whole two weeks, that would be cruel and probably against labour laws, instead we’ve recorded it and will answer any questions in the comments below.

We hope you have a great time playing Paper Trail!

After four years of work, we at Newfangled Games are proud to say that our origami puzzle game 'Paper Trail' is now out! We've also got a cheeky launch discount of 10% to tempt anyone still on the fence!

Many years ago, me and my brother sat down on a video call and started doodling on sheets of paper - hoping to come up with an idea for a new game. Fast forward to today, and we've been joined by an amazing team of talented people - who've all helped shape and make the final game. We're really proud of what we've managed to make, and we can't wait to share it with you all!

So without further ado, jump in and get folding!

Hello paper fans!

It’s only a week to launch, so here’s a new demo on us!

Seven days left: this time next week Paper Trail will finally be out! To give you all a taste of what's to come, and to say thank you for all your support and input, we’ve got a shiny new demo to keep your folding fingers occupied for the final week.

There were loads of things we were really excited to show off, and didn't get the opportunity to with the last demo. Here’s just a few!

New Environment: explore the ancient temple, learn to use the mysterious source of power that runs through its echoing halls to power old technologies.

New Characters: meet the rag tag bunch of rascals who’ve made the temple their temporary home.

Origami Collectibles: collect a host of tricksy hidden origamis for an extra layer of challenge. No longer just stars, we’ve replaced them with a full collectible system!

Foldable Cutscenes: watch the story unfold (literally) with our interactive scrapbook. The story was very light in the previous demo, and we’re excited to share the tale of the trail in more depth!

Hint System: for those who are here for the vibes more than the mental aerobics, we’ve got a super cool new hint system to help you out.

Accessibility Options: a host of menu options to help with a range of accessibility options, to make playing Paper Trail a comfortable experience for as many as possible.

Pet The Cat: the most requested feature by far, you can now give Ollie the cat all the pets he deserves for being such a good boy.

Phew! What a lot of stuff to pack into a demo, just a week before launch. Whose idea was that?! We hope you enjoy all the new things, and can’t wait to launch the WHOLE GAME in just a WEEK!

Got burning questions or just want to chat? Be sure to join the stream to ask any questions you may have about the game and the team will be sure to answer! You can also join the conversation on our Discord[discord.gg] post-event and connect with fellow enthusiasts!

:warning: Attention :warning:

If you're averse to spoilers, take heed! Solutions to demo puzzles will be unveiled during the broadcast.

We hope you enjoy playing Paper Trail! We look forward to launching soon!

Happy folding,

Hey guys, Fred here, and we're counting down! It's been in the making for over 4 years, and will be releasing in less than two weeks - we can't believe we've finally gotten to this point, but the date is fast approaching.

Over the past year, we've been able to really polish and refine the game. Adding everything from bespoke illustrated cutscenes, to character animations and hidden Easter eggs. We're all really proud of what we've been able to achieve here, and can't wait to share it with you all.

Over the course of development, I've personally lived in 7 different houses across 3 different cities and towns. It's been a long journey, with many many many ups and downs. It's very surreal to think that almost five years ago, me and my brother started messing around with a sheet of paper - wondering if it could be a cool idea for a game. After prototyping and testing, building and breaking, QA-ing and play testing, painting and designing - it's done!

We've got a few more announcements coming in the run up to release, so keep your eyes peeled. We're almost there!

Hello paper enthusiasts!

We're live with a demo stream for Paper Trail! We're just weeks away from the big launch, so we hope you'll swing by to say hi and share your thoughts on the game! We look forward to sharing the full game very soon, and hope you'll join us for that as well!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

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!

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!
