Our take on Insert Paper
The game shifts strategy away from combat, resource management, or conventional tactical encounters and places it in an office-like task: locating papers and satisfying machine requirements. Its changing rooms replace a fixed sequence of investigation spaces.
What is Insert Paper?
Insert Paper is a strategy and investigation game about finding documents that match the requirements of reader machines.
Players explore rooms generated with different layouts and random objects, searching for papers and VHS tapes. Radios, shredders, printers, stairs, and other electronic devices appear among the available elements. The main interaction involves placing a document into a machine and pressing its red button. Completing these requests gradually provides answers about the player’s identity and location. The game uses music and ambience intended to resemble the 90s, while exploration remains central to finding the documents needed for each machine.
