While many developers treated the Vita’s hardware features like an obligatory chore, Media Molecule approached them like a playground. Tearaway casts you, the player, into a world made entirely of paper. You guide a small messenger—either Iota or Atoi—through a landscape that reacts to your every whim. The game doesn’t just utilize the hardware; it weaves it into the narrative fabric, making the console itself an extension of the story’s mythology. You will find yourself poking your actual fingers through the “ground” using the rear touch pad to squash enemies or unfolding paper bridges with the front screen. It is a tactile, whimsical experience that feels intensely personal.
