Inspired by origami and papercraft, the game mechanic in A Fold Apart is completely new, allowing you to fold and manipulate a paper world so as to navigate a long distance relationship. Based on a true story, players can choose any gender combination for their character couple while exploring over 50 unique puzzles and a heartfelt emotional narrative.
A Fold Apart is based on a true story: the real life long distance relationship between Lightning Rod Games’ co-founder Mark Laframboise and his now wife, Robyn.
Just as in the true story, when career choices force the characters down separate paths, they vow to make their relationship work despite the challenges of living apart. Though they frequently communicate through text messages, misunderstandings are inevitable and cause the characters to erect emotional barriers that physically bar their path. By folding the pieces of paper these characters inhabit, players are able to help the couple safely navigate around their relationship hurdles and find a way forward.
