Paperbox: Half-Eaten

Paperbox: Half-Eaten

Project Overview

Hello! 

This is a personal project of mine that has been in the works since 2022. At first, it was going to be a comic-dub version of my webcomic ‘Overworked’, but now that I'm done with university for a while, I've decided to go the extra mile and turn it into a visual novel!

I'm looking for artists, scriptwriters, and Voice actors, so if you happen to be interested or have any questions, please do apply and I hope to speak to you later on!

Latest Updates

  • Name change!

    Hello!

    You’ve probably noticed the name change, it’s been changed due to there already being visual novel called OverWorked so to avoid this project and their project clashing we’ve decided the best course of action is to change our name!

    Overworked [X]

    Paperbox: Half-Eaten [✅]

  • Progress update!

    Willow and October are finally getting an updated design! (Although they look the same slightly)

    To be more productive I’ve made a discord server so the voice actor, scriptwriters and artist have a more easier way to communicate!

October is one of the main characters in Overworked 

He is a blunt and deadpanned detective who works for the ‘LetterBox’ agency and tends to come across as rude and dismissive without meaning to. He has a slightly deep voice with a slight accent 

If you require visuals, then I highly recommend you read the comic

Willow is the second main character from OverWorked

She's a happy-go-lucky puppy girl! She's very cheery and is a little dense sometimes - which leads to her being labelled an airhead at most times but she makes it up by being the brawns of the team! 

If you require visual I recommend reading the webcomic ‘overworked!’

Miss Ying is a supporting character in OverWorked and is one of the higher ranked detectives in the PaperBox Agency - She has zero tolerance for Slackers and will quite promptly find them work to do with or without their agreement.


Despite not having a head, She can communicate perfectly fine without it

She's strict, blunt and has very little patience for those she seems to be a waste of a job
