Get Ready To Soon Take On A Tale Of Paper

A Tale Of Paper

A new indie project, A Tale Of Paper, is coming to the PS4 and it looks like A Tale Of Paper will tell a story from an interesting perspective

It might sound odd at first, but no, A Tale Of Paper is not a new title about the wonders of paperwork and filing. It does sound like that would be the case but what we have here from Open House Games looks to be a new platforming title to entice us all in and take a look at the world from a different point of view. At the end of the day, A Tale Of Paper will be an exploration title with what looks to be some platforming elements for the PS4. It might be much more than that if we want to dig deeper, though, as it shows off a new way that a sentient piece of paper might look at the world.

Okay, as weird as that all may sound, A Tale Of Paper will have us taking on the role of Line. This would be a paper boy that has magically come to life and has the ability to transform via origami. A paper boy in terms of a boy made out of paper and not one that throws the paper into your bushes. Using those powers that were mentioned, Line will need to explore the world of A Tale Of Paper to discover the world at large and various other things. It is hard to see what the end goal of the game is going to be, but given that all we have is the teaser here, it will be left up for us to figure out along the way. I know I am getting a whole lot of Journey vibes here. The video game and not the band.

A Tale Of Paper — Trailer

Can a dream transcend its owner? This is the question that Open House Games wanted to explore in A Tale Of Paper. In a new trailer, players can further explore the world of A Tale Of Paper, an adventure where Line can transform into multiple figures in order to avoid obstacles and enemies in this textless adventure that combines platforming sections with puzzle solving.
