About Paper Shredder

Paper Shredder is an incremental game from Embers about the most satisfying entry-level job imaginable. You have accepted a prestigious position with one simple objective: clear a “minor” backlog of corporate paperwork. Reach 100% disposal efficiency and a million-dollar payout is yours, and management is sure you can do it.

The loop starts small, one sheet at a time, and steadily scales up into mass document destruction. You shred paperwork and sweep up the mess to earn company merit points, then spend them upgrading basic tools into heavy-duty setups that massively boost your processing speed. Tower-high piles of bureaucracy slowly turn into weightless confetti.

You are never left alone on the clock. A dedicated Happiness Manager is always watching, offering constant, very mandatory psychological support and relentless positivity to keep your motivation at maximum.

There is more going on beneath the paper mountains, too. Digging through the piles can turn up more than forgotten files, and rumour has it that past employees couldn’t stand the grind and shredded their own path to freedom. Branching career paths let you decide whether to follow them. It supports Xbox Play Anywhere, so one digital purchase covers Xbox Series X|S and the Xbox PC app.
