js271998The adventure that was held in your hands
is now re-imagined as a world inside your TV.
Tearaway™ Unfolded is an expanded retelling of the BAFTA award-winning Tearaway,
reimagined for PlayStation®4. The game has been rebuilt from the ground up to take
advantage of the enhanced power of the PlayStation®4 and the unique features of the
DUALSHOCK®4 controller, with new fourth-wall-busting interactions and a bigger, more
beautiful world to explore.
The original Tearaway was a little papery world held entirely in your hands, using all the
features of the PlayStation®Vita to bring players a great experience that was as lifelike
and immersive as possible.
With Tearaway Unfolded, we’re doing the same thing, only this time rebuilt for the big
screen, to bring more charming detail within wider vistas. The papery world now lives
inside your TV and you interact with it using the unique inputs and physicality of the
DUALSHOCK®4 controller to tear down the fourth wall and bring you into the game.

SUMMARY
Journey through a vibrant, living papery world, with
a plucky messenger who has a unique message to
deliver—to YOU!
Choose to guide either atoi or iota on this
adventure, each a bold courier with an expressive
personality and a unique message for you locked
away inside their envelope head. In order to read it
though, they’re going to need your help to deliver it!
The papery world of Tearaway unfolds in your living room, allowing you to reach into your
TV with your god-like powers and help your new messenger friend complete this very
special delivery and making you the co-star of the game.
As you travel together in this buddy-movie style, rites-of-passage adventure, you’ll rely on
each other’s strengths to overcome perilous challenges, and form a long-lasting bond.
You’ll uncover a magical dimension inspired by half-forgotten stories and folklore and
built realistically from paper that unfolds and comes alive before your very eyes; from
lost islands and forgotten forests, to bottomless canyons and mysterious structures. As
you guide your adventurous messenger through this world you’ll meet the papercraft
creatures that live within it, help out strange new friends and encounter dangerous
challenges.

WHAT’S NEW FOR PS4?
The world of Tearaway Unfolded blends with our own through the unique features of the
DUALSHOCK®4 controller, bringing the game to life in completely new and unexpected
ways:
• Unleash powerful gusts of wind to unfold rippling
bridges, or send enemies tumbling off cliffs, with a
well-timed swipe of the touch pad.
• Use the power of wind to propel your messenger
through the skies in their paper plane and explore the
world from above.
• Catch objects your messenger throws to you as they
fly out of the screen into your wireless controller,
where you can hear them rattling around, before
sending them hurtling back into hard-to-reach places,
or towards your hapless enemies.
• Shine the wireless controller’s light bar into the TV
to illuminate dark and gloomy places, growing and
transforming the scenery as you do, and guiding your
companion along their way.
• Push and release the touch pad button to squash
drum skins and spring your messenger up into the air
or across platforms.
As you play, you’ll bring a little bit of this papery world back with you, as you
collect papercraft plans to create the creatures, treasures and surroundings of
Tearaway Unfolded from paper in the real world. As you explore, you’ll also see more of
your own creativity appearing inside the paper world too!

KEY FEATURES
Immersive PlayStation®4 Controls
Rebuilt from the ground up to take full advantage of the PlayStation®4 and the
DUALSHOCK®4, Tearaway Unfolded uses the full range of inputs to deliver and
immersive and unique gameplay experience.
Platforming!
Above all else Tearaway Unfolded is a platform adventure
game and Media Molecule have taken the experiences
from making the award-winning LittleBigPlanet series and
applied them to a vibrant, living 3D world.
Paper Engine with Real World Physics
Tearaway Unfolded’s exclusive game engine creates a 3D animated world from sheets
of paper to capture the real physics of paper material that will tear, fold, or crumple,
especially when the player reaches out and interacts with the world.
Story Time
Tearaway Unfolded is comprised of three short stories, which intertwine into one larger
narrative, through which the player and their messenger friend are guided by two
(mostly) wise and playful characters, the Green Man and the Fortune Teller, on their
quest to hear new tales.
Two worlds collide
Tearaway Unfolded is a living papery world inside the
player’s TV, and constantly breaks the fourth wall to
deliver a unique game experience. Tearaway Unfolded is
an experience like no other; a game that knows the player
exists, and integrates them fully into the story.

Print & Create Papercraft
As they play through the game, players will be rewarded
with real papercraft plans of the creatures, objects and
characters from the game to print out and construct,
bringing the world of Tearaway to life in their own homes.
There are over 60 models to collect, each with coloured-
in and blank versions, giving players the opportunity to
get really creative, and adding many hours of fun to the
Tearaway experience!
Share Favourite Gameplay Moments
Players are encouraged to share special gameplay moments via social networks, using
your messenger’s in-game camera to take photos of their adventures, with collectable
filters and lenses allowing them to add their own creative spin.
Tearaway community site
Tearaway.me (http://tearaway.me) gives players access
to their papercraft collection, and all the in-game photos
they’ve shared, along with the photos taken by the
rest of the Tearaway community, either from their own
adventures, or of their papercraft models.

messenger’s head, to decorating things along their
journey and customising how their messenger appears
inside the game, Tearaway delivers a truly personalised
gameplay experience.
