    This game is very much suited to younger children and anyone who enjoy puzzle games. There is no foul language or inappropriate themes, and the puzzles are presented in a constructive and entertaining way. Overall A Fold Apart is a job well done.

    Folding Paper and tearing hearts
    A Fold Apart is a 3 hour long narrative based puzzle game about 2 people in a long distance relationship.. characters that can be any combination youd like, so you choose if blue or red is male or female, if the relationship is straight or gay ,to give you a more personal connection to these characters, This is a single player game though I did start out by playing with my girlfriend, at first wed each play as the different characters, but there isn’t really a balance of who you play as, so this quickly turned into more of a game for us t ocollaborate with problem solving, to do each puzzle together rather than separately, and the puzzles in fold apart are very up and down with their challenge and complexity, one puzzle you may instantly get while another youll be folding the paper every which way you can until something finally clicks.. and these moments are very satisfying…
    A Fold apart takes place across 6 chapters and as the game progresses, new mechanics will be added.. you start out by simply folding and flipping the page to bring blocks together, to eventually being able to fold top to bottom, left to right… folding corners towards the end, disappearing platforms being thrown in, and even rotating the pages… all of which I found to be unnecessary.. the game was fine as is, and I feel the experience is short enough to not need constant gimmicks… levels started to get overwhelming towards the end..so much so that id start using the games hint system to just get through a level because too much was going on for me to want to try and figure out.. I wanted to just right back to the story..
    Which is a gift and a curse… I didn’t notice the hint system until the final 2 chapters.. and once I realized this was a thing.. it kind of brok ethe game for me… the hints do too much for the player… I feel A fold Apart would greatly benefit from a one or 2 hint per puzzle rather than the game just straight up showing you the solution… its like having the answers in the back of the math book.. why would you bother solving the problem if you can fold the final page over and just write it down… especially with an overwhelming equation…
    Overall though, I love the narrative focus of a fold apart, its more than just a paper folding puzzle game, its charming and emotional, you fel attached to these characters as youre chosing responses to text back and forth during this long distance relationship.. you feel the pain of both of these characters fighting to make this work… A Fold Apart is a great refresher on what love means, and on top of that is a nice little brain teaser…
    I give A Fold Apart
