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.
