Tearaway will be available on shelves and on PSN October 22nd! We can’t wait for you to get your hands on, and indeed in, our new game at the end of the year.
In Tearaway you’ll journey through a vibrant, living papery world, with a plucky messenger who has a unique message to deliver – to you!
As the papery world of Tearaway unfolds in your hands, you’ll be able to use your god-like powers to help your new messenger friend, iota or atoi, complete their very special delivery.
You’ll uncover a magical dimension inspired by folklore, and built realistically from paper that unfolds and comes alive before your very eyes. As you explore this world you’ll meet the papercraft creatures that live within it, help out strange new friends and encounter dangerous challenges.
We’ve designed the world of Tearaway to blend with our own through the unique features of the PS Vita, which allow you to help your messenger buddy to solve puzzles using the power of touch, literally breathe new life into this papercraft land, and reach up into the world using the rear-touch panel to see your fingertips appear inside the game! We think this is an adventure unlike anything you’ve played before.
Here’s a little more backstory on how Tearaway came to be from our very own doodle-meister and lead designer, Rex Crowle.
Normally a game has just one piece of box art, but we have two main characters for you to choose from – iota and atoi. Who should go on the front of the box then? It was an impossible choice for us to make, so instead of making it, we made a reversible double sided inlay, so you can decide for yourself! See both versions at the top of this post.
We’ll be back with more Tearaway news soon!
Yes! Can’t wait!
Damm, you mean I have to wait? …….crud
Yes! It’s a litle far away, but I’m so crazy to get my “Tearaway”!
Thanks for the update!
October?! Sigh. Well, at least I’ll have something to look forward to. Looks like an awesome game
Awesome! Day one buy for sure. :)
“Tactile”-the most overused MediaMolecule word ever. Game looks fantastic though :)
I’m very excited about this game. With it being an October release, this might be my Christmas present! It’ll be like unwrapping a gift as a game!!!
We’ll be two covers for the game and we got a release date:-) I am very excited to get my hands on this game
so that means after Soul Sacrifice we have to wait till september’s killzone mercenary release date for another AAA vita title? ok not so good but on the other hand E3 has to be about new games because we already know Killzone and Tearaway release dates.
please release a demo for the vita
This game is the perfect example of what’s wrong with the Vita, all the cool games force the use of Vita’s “unique features” *coughgimmickscough*
Gamers do not want rear touch, motion controls, we just want buttons and sticks. These unique features pull you out of the game…
Well, in Tearaway we’ve tried to make these interactions super integrated into the game experience so that they re-enforce the game’s aesthetic rather than pull you out of it.
When you use say the back touch or the microphone, they have an affect on the world that would make sense for a little world you are holding in your hands, rather than a disconnected thing thats just bolted on for no reason.
We’re also super aware of going over the top with them, so you won’t be using your god-like powers left, right and center, just when it makes sense. :)
