Tearing Away the Fourth Wall (of your heart ♥) (Patreon)

Among the pantheon of big boy Playstation exclusives you often find the same ones being talked about. Big cinematic blockbusters and sad dad simulators are usually on the menu. Less time and thought is given to the small and quaint, the games that don't quite fit the mold. One such game is Tearaway, a beloved PSVita title turned PS4 masterpiece. A game with a profound and meaningful message, just for you! ♥ Big thanks to our guest voices ♥ @TBSkyen and @iamerror 00:00 Opening 04:15 Introducing Tearaway (Parts 1 & 2) 12:50 The Messenger: A Peculiar Avatar 20:39 Valleyfold Jig 29:25 Sogport Blues 45:30 Grand Tear Improv 55:39 Chapter 4: Yes, we're doing chapters now, weren't you paying attention? 1:11:34 The Message PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/transparens TWITTER: https://twitter.com/transparencyboo #tearaway #playstation #papercraft #tearawayunfolded #mediamolecule #videogames #sony #littlebigplanet #psvita #fourthwall #nintendo #ps4 #explained #videoessay #undertale BONUS MEME! There is so much stuff we wanted to say about this game that we couldn't without the video turning into a 5 hour mess. With that in mind, I find it so strange that more people don't talk about it. Everything from art design to narrative is filled to the brim with stuff to talk about. If I had the opportunity I would add a segment that is basically just a bunch of vistas with the background sounds for ambience, because the atmosphere in this game is so freaking good! The best even! Makes me feel like I am back home by the country side on a nice, warm summers day. Delightful. The Messenger is clearly cooler than Sackboy. Instead people talk about God of War Ragnarök or Horizon: Way Out West. I saw parts of the Game Awards this year and God of War is everything apparently. So no love for Tearaway. Sad times. Honestly Tearaway Unfolded should've just gotten game of the year 2022, and preferably every year after that and retroactively every year before that. That's only fair. If you read all of this junk you should leave a comment that involves the sentence "I love paper because it makes my hands feel glutinous" or something. Tell us what paper makes your hands feel like. Only nice things though, nothing rude or mean. Because then you'll make Atoi cry, you monster.
