Overview
- Paper Cat Games formally announced two new narrative investigation titles: Paper Perjury for Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2, plus Paper Perjury 2: Shadow of Justice for the Switch 2 only.
- The studio said Paper Perjury is planned for 2027 and the sequel is slated for 2028, but it has not provided exact release dates or further production details.
- Both games center on 'paper trail' investigation mechanics where players collect and compare statements and evidence across five interconnected cases set around Azure City.
- Players take the role of Justina Smith working with detectives Ernest Hunt and Sophie Swift, and can opt into a case-level penalty system that can cause a game over without changing the canonical story.
- The sequel directly continues storylines from the original game's downloadable content and focuses on Justina hunting a phantom thief called Silhouette while probing possible police corruption in Azure City.
