Developer Embers is bringing Paper Shredder to Steam, an incremental game where players shred office documents to earn a $1 million reward. A dedicated Happiness Manager provides mandatory mental support and toxic positivity to keep motivation at 100%. Players may also discover former colleagues who escaped through the shredder.
The game's description promises that players will never feel lonely, as the Happiness Manager injects 'continuous and completely mandatory mental support and toxic positivity.' Players shred piled-up documents to achieve 100% disposal efficiency, upgrade tools from basic to powerful business equipment, and clean scattered trash to earn in-office evaluation points. The goal is a $1 million reward. As players dig deeper, they may find former colleagues who cut a 'path to freedom' with a shredder and escaped.
