Indie studio Embers today announced that its upcoming incremental game Paper Shredder has officially surpassed 100,000 Steam wishlists in just two days (48 hours) following its initial reveal. The milestone follows a viral surge of interest across social platforms and online gaming communities.

Watch the official announcement trailer here

Paper Shredder puts you into an entry-level corporate job with a simple premise: shred massive stacks of company documents to earn a $1,000,000 payout. What begins as a manual, sheet-by-sheet grind quickly scales into an operation of mass paper destruction. Players shred files, sweep up paper confetti, upgrade their workspace with heavy-duty machinery, and uncover secrets buried deep beneath the paper mountains.


 Key Features:

  • Shred, Sweep, Repeat – Experience the intense sensory pleasure of turning tower-high piles of rigid bureaucracy into weightless confetti. Shred documents and sweep up the mess to earn company merit points. Upgrade basic tools into heavy-duty setups, skyrocketing your processing speed and document destruction.
     
  • Mandated Morale Boosts – Never feel lonely on the clock! Your dedicated Happiness Manager is always watching, offering continuous highly mandatory psychological support and toxic positivity to keep your motivation at an optimized 100%.
     
  • Branching Career Paths – Dig through paper mountains to find more than just forgotten files. Rumor says past associates couldn’t bear the grind and shredded a path to freedom instead. Will you follow them?

Paper Shredder is currently in active development for PC via Steam. Public playtests and a playable Steam demo are planned ahead of release.

To escape, you must journey through this absurd and scary place. Venture through a labyrinth stalked by immortal killer clowns. Survive a block-built castle packed with deadly traps. Dance for your life in a haunted amusement park lost in the endless fog. Face cursed houses, watchful eyes that follow your every move, and colossal stone hands that can bring your train to a sudden halt, forcing you to solve new riddles before continuing your journey. Find your prison buddies or make a tough decision being a lonely wolf, start the train, hold on tight, and ride into the nightmare. The only way out… is forward.

Key Features:

  • TOGETHER OR SOLO ESCAPE
    Team up with up to 3 friends for a chaotic ride balanced between horror and absurd hilarity. Meet bizarre twig creatures. Dance in an abandoned theme park. Face the madness together or brave it alone – either way, expect screams, laughs, and chaos.
