A Tale Of Paper To Take The Origami Crown This Year?
Winner of the PlayStation Talents Awards, A Tale of Paper is a collaboration between Sony Interactive Entertainment Spain and Open House Games.
Forget that chump Mario, there’s more malleable paper in PlayStation Town.
A digital-only release, A Tale of Paper tells the story of a paper boy who uses ‘origami to fulfil the dream of his creator’. The question that Open House Games (Twitter link) wanted to explore in the game is:
Can a dream transcend its owner?
Using an innovative way of applying origami to every obstacle, such as the evil Roombas, your character, Line, can exhibit an array of abilities using a simple shape – each with its own unique perk.
We mix puzzles and platforming but we also throw in some suspense and bits and pieces of walking simulation in this mix. It is also worth noting that this is no 2D platformer. The camera scrolls laterally, but players can roam in its world in any direction.
