Evaluation

Paper Perjury launched on December 9, 2024 with five interconnected cases. Paper Cat Games has continued delivering free post-launch content throughout 2025 and 2026. Case 6 was released in two halves due to a personal situation affecting the writing team (first half on February 22, 2026; full case on May 21, 2026). On June 30, 2026, the developer announced a free "Bonus Case" — shorter than Case 6 by design — and noted that the end of the bonus case would reveal the team's future plans for Paper Perjury. On July 20, 2026 (today), the developer released that Bonus Case, accompanied by a message thanking players and directing them to "play to the end to find out what's next for Paper Cat Games." This strongly implies the developer has communicated further plans for the franchise or the game, though the specifics have not yet been made public. The game is not content-complete — the developer has signaled that something more is coming, even if the details will only be revealed through playing the Bonus Case.
Evidence
Bonus Case released today. Developer thanks players and tells them to 'play to the end to find out what's next for Paper Cat Games,' signaling further plans beyond this case.

About this game

Your first day as a police clerk... unveils a tapestry of mysteries!

You play as Justina Smith, a newly hired clerk at the Azure City Police Department, as she finds out the truth behind a series of suspicious crimes. Work with the eccentric detectives Ernest Hunt and Sophie Swift as you investigate crime scenes, interrogate suspects, and discover the secrets hidden among the paper trails.

Five interconnected cases to explore!

From wealthy manors to parking garages, you'll get down in the weeds across five different cases, each with a connected narrative, as you work to expose one large mystery. Investigate Azure City's largest investment firm and expose the shady dealings they've tried their best to cover up. From robbery, to embezzlement, and even... murder!

Question the suspects... and shove the truth in their face!

As you explore the city, you'll be able to take the statements of the bystanders you come across. Review their statements carefully, as not everyone in this city is honest! When you finally catch the prime suspect, take them back to the station for interrogation, and expose their crimes!

A bustling city with memorable characters and locations!

Azure City is a diverse place, teeming with all sorts of interesting characters. Explore a cast ranging from a tea-loving lawyer, a cowboy barber, a magician, and even... a cat? Each person you talk to has a wide range of dialogue for you to explore!

Collect evidence to solve the case!

Examine various crime scenes as you hunt for clues in even the most unlikely of places. Even the smallest piece of evidence could turn out to be crucial! You'll have to use logic to discover what bits of evidence you collect are useful, and which ones you need to solve whatever puzzle you're up against!

Befriend a cat

The most important part of any game.
