The briefing

About this game

Paperhead is a fast-paced first-person shooter with a cute cardboard-and-paper aesthetic twisted into horror. Set in a secret research facility, it follows a strange outbreak in which papercut people have become able to bleed.

Gameplay

  • Fight with a pencil, including drawing bombs to blow up enemies.
  • Use fast, physical combat: slide into foes, kick explosive barrels or enemies, and stomp on them from above.
  • Use the pencil to solve reality-warping puzzles, such as drawing a door onto a wall.

Release and platforms

Paperhead is scheduled for release on October 9, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
