Tearaway Unfolded is an action-adventure game developed by Media Molecule. It is a sequel to Tearaway.

The players control a messenger that is delivering a message to a portal opened in the sky which displays the players themselves. The players are referred to as "The You" in the game. The messenger has to deliver the message in order to save their paper world.

At the beginning of the game, the player chooses one out of two characters. The choice does not affect gameplay whatsoever, only the look of your character. The main feature of the game is the interaction with the environment using the features of the DualShock 4. The players go through a world that is completely made out of paper. Your playable character can jump, grab and roll.

In order to progress through the game, the player has to modify the surroundings so new paths can be opened. The players have several tools at their disposal, such as a vacuum cleaner that can move items and can be used to defeat enemies.
