Tearaway - Media Molecule
Tearaway is a lovely-looking and upcoming 3D platformer adventure which stars Iota or Atoi, a paper-crafted messenger with a specific and unique message to deliver to the player. With an instantly charming plot, attractive backdrops and innovative use of the PS Vita’s control system makes this a highly appealing game for virtually any type of gamer.
Overview
Media Molecule Says: Tearaway is kind of like a buddy movie. It stars iota or Atoi, a messenger from a paper dimension whose envelope head contains an urgent message to deliver…to you! It’s a very special message, and one that’s unique for each and every player. In order to read yours, you’ll need to take up the role of co-star and, together with iota or Atoi, journey through the vibrant papery landscape—two buddies going on an epic adventure to deliver this important message.
You and iota will travel afar, taking on enemies and helping those in need. You’ll conquer adversity, and discover magical papery surprises. You directly control iota’s running, jumping, frolicking and more. But with this game, you the player are holding more than just a PS Vita in your hands; you’re holding the paper world itself!
Using the god-like powers inherent to someone who can hold an entire world in their giant hands, you can make your presence felt using a whole range of godly powers that take advantage of all of the Vita’s bells and whistles—some subtle and some epic. You can shake things up or turn them upside down. A gentle breath from you is a gusty storm. You can even poke your fingers into the back of the PS Vita to tear through into the world and help iota complete this very special delivery.
With Tearaway, we’re looking to create an adventure game with a twist, where you, the player, can literally get stuck in using all of PS Vita’s novel inputs like backtouch, tilt sensors, camera, and microphone to connect you to iota and the paper world.
As you can see, it’s a bit different to what we’ve done before, and it’s very exciting to be stretching our creative muscles in new ways. Having said that, Tearaway is still very much an extension of the creative gaming genre, so rest assured you’ll be able to personalize and customize your world to your heart’s content. We’ll have to be secret Susans about that until a later date though!
