Here is a step-by-step tutorial of the Cave in the Paper Trail game by Netflix. Follow the instructions precisely to make sure you finish the level and find all the hidden origami.
This cozy top-down puzzle adventure is set in a foldable paper world where you play as Paige, a budding academic who’s leaving home for the first time to pursue her studies.
On this journey, you’ll uncover secrets, explore new areas, meet characters with memorable stories, and solve puzzles by folding the environment and merging the two sides into one.
I’ll help you every step of the way with this Paper Trail walkthrough below.
