About Paparazzi
Paparazzi is a multiplayer stealth and social deduction game from Fledered, released March 31, 2026. It plays like a chaotic blend of hide-and-seek and detective work, where players either lurk to snap covert photos of celebrities or hunt down rivals. Set in a gritty urban world, the game pits 8, 16 players against each other in tense rounds. You’ll duck behind cars, use disguises, and decode who’s trustworthy through voice chat. It’s not the most polished game out there but nails the frantic energy of being a sneaky, unscrupulous photojournalist.
Gameplay
Each match centers on two roles: Paparazzi, who must stealthily photograph targets without being spotted, and Eliminators, tasked with removing threats. Paparazzi use cameras with limited batteries, forcing you to balance stealth, speed, and repositioning. Eliminators wield gadgets like flash grenades and tazers to flush out foes. The third role, Stars, are neutral but become targets when photographed. Rounds last 10, 15 minutes, with a post-match debrief where players vote to banish cheaters. Controls are responsive, though the camera’s auto-focus can feel glitchy. Team chat is essential, as false accusations often derail matches.
What Players Think
Paparazzi holds a 78% community rating and a 7.2/10 average score. 44% of players finish the base game, with an average playtime of 15 hours. Community moods are split between chaotic (32%) and fun (28%), with 25% citing frustration over clunky mechanics. Review snippets praise the “fast-paced chaos that keeps you on edge” but criticize “camera mechanics that feel like a missed update.” The game has 32 achievements, with 62% of players earning at least half. Hardcore fans enjoy the social deduction, but many admit it’s a “hit-or-miss multiplayer rush.”
PlayPile's Take
Paparazzi is a niche pick for fans of competitive multiplayer and social deduction. At $29.99, it’s a mid-tier risk, enjoyable in short bursts but not worth the price if you dislike role-dependent chaos. The 32 achievements add replay value, but completion rates are low. It thrives in groups of friends who love arguing over voice chat but falls flat for solo players. If you’re okay with occasional bugs and want a game that’s equal parts strategy and slapstick, give it a try. Otherwise, pass.
