Our take on Kartong - Death by Cardboard!
The store presentation gives notable space to Kartong Co-Labs and guest creator content, but describes those maps as something to be added as partners go live. The currently stated core is the procedurally generated stealth/FPS escape game, with crossbow upgrades and local scoring.
What is Kartong - Death by Cardboard!?
Kartong - Death by Cardboard!
is a stealth/FPS game set in a miniature cardboard city filled with toys, traps, and office-supply weapons. The player has been shrunk to roughly the size of a toilet-paper roll and must escape while Sven observes the action. PC and VR modes use procedurally generated maps with changing layouts, hazards, weapons, and toy enemies. A seed system allows favorite maps to be replayed and shared. Robot enemies drop Robo-Coins, which can be spent on crossbow upgrades. Multiple difficulty levels, local high scores, and collectible skins add progression and competition. The game also includes Kartong Co-Labs, a planned set of custom challenge maps featuring guest streamers and YouTubers as they are introduced.
