Newfangled Games Interview: Henry Hoffman & Frederick Hoffman (Paper Trail)

In this special episode of Double Life, I speak with award-winning indie game developers Henry Hoffman and Frederick Hoffman from Newfangled Games. We speak about about their early gaming memories, their younger years of game developmet, and their award-winning 2024 studio debut release - Paper Trail. Paper Trail is a top-down puzzle adventure about leaving home, set in a foldable, paper world. You play as Paige, a budding academic, leaving home for the first time to pursue her studies. On the journey, you learn to fold the world, merging two sides to solve puzzles, explore new areas and uncover long-lost secret.
