Installation Guide

Step-by-step setup process for P2P

The game is distributed already pre-installed — you will not find an installer here, and none is needed.
Unpack the RAR/ZIP archive with WinRAR or 7-Zip, for example to C:\Games\GameName.
Launch the game via Run Me!.bat or the main .exe inside the extracted folder.

Having trouble launching the game?

Check these common causes before troubleshooting further.

Do not run the game straight from the archive — unpack it fully first; this alone prevents most launch failures.
Install the Visual C++ and DirectX packages from the Redist / _CommonRedist folder if the game does not start.
Add the game folder to antivirus / Defender exclusions and run the game as administrator.

Still not working? Find error-specific fixes and runtime guidance in the FAQ.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! 2

A HUGE thank you to everyone who's been with us all this time. Everyone who played PAPERHEAD EP.0, left reviews, found bugs, made videos, told their friends about the game, or simply waited for the release.
Without your support, PAPERHEAD wouldn't be what it is today.

HAPPY LAUNCH DAY, PEOPLE! WE ACTUALLY DID IT!!! 2

Now grab your shotguns, stretch those legs, and dive straight into cardboard hell.
