New Folder

New Folder is a surreal, narrative puzzle game that plays with the boundaries between system logic and human emotion. What appears to be a broken desktop interface becomes a world where hidden files reveal stories, puzzles reveal memories, and folders hide unsettling truths.

Explore a Digital Dreamscape

In New Folder, the screen becomes your only world. You open folders, scan corrupted documents, solve file-based riddles, and uncover the narrative left behind by a vanished user. It’s a story told through artificial logic and poetic fragments, where the player reconstructs not just the events, but the person behind the system.

• File puzzles: Rearranging text documents and audio clips unlocks story pieces.
• Hidden messages: Metadata and filenames conceal crucial clues.
• Progressive unraveling: More folders open as your actions change the system state.

Emotion Through Interface

New Folder blurs the line between software and soul. As you explore deeper layers, you’re not just solving puzzles — you’re unraveling a deeply personal narrative of isolation, memory, and escape. The interface becomes an extension of the main character’s mind.

• Fragmented storytelling: Recover the user’s thoughts through scattered files.
• Glitch mechanics: Intentional bugs lead to hidden menus and new content.
• Emotional milestones: Completing certain tasks triggers shifts in interface behavior.

Break the Boundaries of the Desktop

The game uses creative meta-elements. Sometimes, you’re prompted to type text, rename files, or access folders outside the game’s “boundaries.” It encourages experimentation while maintaining a tight, atmospheric narrative that respects both logic and intuition.

• Alternate endings: Based on curiosity, completion, or avoidance.
• Environmental clues: Background sounds and window placement change with choices.
• Personal revelations: The player and protagonist become emotionally entangled.

New Folder is a minimalist yet complex experience. It invites players to think beyond normal game mechanics, questioning where games end and stories begin. It’s not just about solving puzzles — it’s about discovering someone else’s digital heart and choosing what to do with it.
