PAPRIUM, known as Project Y in the beginning of the development, is a Sega Mega Drive action game. It was announced with pre-orders taken in 2017, for an expected release date of 16 September 2017.[1] Various development delays and financial problems meant the release date was missed, with the game still unreleased as of mid 2020.
A "launch party" was held in Paris on 27 October 2018,[2] which received criticism for showing a very early prototype rather than a finished product.[3]
On December 16th 2020, Watermelon Games informed customers that the game was officially finished and ready for shipment. This limited edition of the game shipped with a vol.1 manga, postcards and special gatefold packaging. A second run print was announced at the same time, with a raised price of $169 for the limited edition and $129 for the classic clamshell edition.

BRUTAL, MASSIVE. You will fight your way through the city with Tug, Alex and Dice. Redefine the word justice, deal with the BLU drug temptation, and more importantly: STAY ALIVE!
