In gaming, paper transcends its physical form to become a versatile design element and powerful metaphor. It manifests as fragile origami creatures in puzzle adventures, tearable environments in physics-based platformers, and narrative journals in interactive stories. Paper symbolizes vulnerability—characters can be easily torn or folded—yet also represents creativity and transformation through papercraft mechanics. Its aesthetic ranges from minimalist 2D paper-cut art styles to layered 3D pop-up book worlds. As a game mechanic, paper enables unique interactions: folding to solve puzzles, burning to reveal secrets, or assembling papercraft items. This humble material continually inspires developers to explore themes of memory, impermanence, and the thin boundary between reality and imagination.
