Who made PAPERHEAD

Checked 2026-10-18

Search keeps attaching this game to Edmund McMillen. Steam does not. I am writing down the names the store actually prints.

appdetails lists developers as Paperhead te4m and publishers as HypeTrain Digital. The support email is paperhead.dev@gmail.com. The website field is the X account PAPERHEAD_GAME. A Discord invite for the game resolved with the inviter display name Sasha. Press notes identify Sasha Shipulin as the person behind the team name. te4m is the studio's own spelling. Edmund McMillen makes other games. He is not in this credit block.

What else is sourced

Devlog 1 (22 May 2025) has the author describing level-design work and a minimap. The music credit is Joonas Turner, separate from the studio. HypeTrain's own game page lagged on the date. I do not use that page for the ship date.

80.lv's coverage is where the Unity line comes from, cross-checked with the public entity card. Steam's API did not print an engine field, so Unity stays a press credit, not a store field.

Questions I keep getting

Is Edmund McMillen involved?

No evidence on the store page or in the credits I checked.

Is there a studio site?

Steam points at X, not at a standalone studio domain.
