Why we expect it: Its clever folding-screen pop-up mechanics and thoughtful no-ads, buy-once design make it a promising debut.

In short

PopTale: Tori's Pop-up Idle is a game about a paper storybook where puppets pop out of the page. Players fold a foldable iPhone into an L shape to reveal a pop-up stage, follow Tori and Kongi through fifty puppet-show chapters, and watch the adventure grow while the book is closed. It has no ads and no in-app purchases, and it needs a folding iPhone for the full folding-screen features.

About

Open your phone and a storybook opens, paper puppets popping up from the page. Join Tori, the girl in the bunny hood, and Kongi the corgi on a pop-up book adventure.

■ A pop-up book made for a folding screen · Fold the phone into an L and the stage on the top screen pops up like a pop-up book · Paper layers pop out with the hinge, and hidden treasures show in their shadows · Sweep your finger across the lower screen to gather fallen star shards · Trace the dotted picture on a magic page, and the same shape bursts into a spell on the stage above · Open the book just a crack and the gap fairy brings a gift once a day

■ Fifty chapters, told as puppet shows · Ten books, fifty chapters, each one a string-puppet show · 20 bedtime stories that open while the book is shut · After the last page, a second reading on a moonlit stage

■ An adventure that grows while the book is shut · Tori and Kongi nap and gather gold while the book is closed · An adventure album keeps a picture of each moment you close it · 10 village buildings, 27 friends, paper-doll gear and costumes, 8 skills, 2x speed

■ 22 hidden secrets · Hinge angles, time left standing, tilting… find the book's secrets and earn Game Center achievements

■ No ads, no in-app purchases Buy it once and it's yours. No ads, no gacha, nothing more to pay.

* Made for the folding screen of iPhone Duo. On other iPhones the game plays in "book mode" (the open book shown upright), and the folding-screen tricks are not available.
