Project Kat is a short, unconventional RPG horror game in which there is always another way. Solve puzzles, make friends (or not), and guide Kat as she attempts to uncover the mystery behind a strange golden letter.
Project Kat - Paper Lily Prologue is a free, standalone short RPG horror game that serves as the prologue to the larger Paper Lily series. It launched on October 15, 2021 and has always been positioned as a complete, self-contained story — the store description explicitly describes it as "a standalone story that can be enjoyed on its own."
The game's post-launch updates have been maintenance and quality-of-life focused: engine upgrades, translation additions, and bug fixes. The one released DLC is a Supporter Pack (released February 17, 2023), which is cosmetic/support content rather than story content.
The most significant development for this title was the release of Paper Lily Chapter 1 — the full sequel game — on January 26, 2024. This was announced as the continuation of the story, and its release fulfilled the outstanding promise of a "Chapter 1" that had been referenced in developer posts since November 2021. Alongside that launch, Project Kat received a compatibility update (engine sync with Paper Lily). The last developer post for this game was a minor bug fix on March 22, 2024.
Because Project Kat was designed and shipped as a complete, standalone prologue experience, and the follow-on content it was building toward (Paper Lily Chapter 1) has now launched as a separate game, this title's content is effectively complete. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no outstanding developer commitments to this specific game, and no announced future updates.
