Obviously troubled by some very disturbing thoughts (disclaimer: we blame office air pollution), our team came up with Kartong. And once conceived, we had no choice but to bring a new unpronounceable game to the world. 7aa9394dea Title: Kartong - Death by Cardboard!Genre: Action, Adventure, Casual, IndieDeveloper:Antler InteractivePublisher:Antler InteractiveRelease Date: 4 Apr, 2018 Kartong - Death By Cardboard! Reset Key Really fun and interesting game. You are put in this card board like city maze that is decently sized (changes each mission) and your goal is to find your way out while looking for gears to open the exit. As you progress you will have to find more gears to open the door. Mean while you have enemies out looking for you. so there is a stealth element as well but you are not helpless by any means. You can get a pretty decent selection of weapons to fight back along with items that will help you. There are boxes every where some which you can open just by going uo to it and others you will need a wind up key that enemies drop when you kill them. Some of the boxes can be rigged with trap like alarms and bombs. There are also traps all over the place. The game keeps you on your toes pretty well. For a EA game it plays really well. I ahve not run into many issues outside of one time where the sound would go in and out while the picture would go really dark. Also wish they made it that the game paused while you are selecting your inventory trying to pick a item doesnt seem to go well, I usually end up picking the item below or above of the item i want and it can get you killed if you need a item fast.The controls are solid and it has smooth turning and free locomotion and a good amount of other options for you to choose from. Its priced just right and worth a pick up if this type of game interest you.. This review is basically just to give +1Very nice game. I have just been playing it for an hour for the first time (I actually have the game since ..ever) and it was great fun. The design is fresh and very well done.In 2002 or so, my very first map which I have created and published to the (Red Faction) community has been a rats-style-map. So I feel very dedicated to games like these, I just love the idea of being so small. I didn't expect the game to be this good and interesting. I feel the difficulty is just right and it is fun and worthwhile to make progress in the game.The game will leave Early Access in April2018, so I really can't wait for it!The game might not be so big, but it's just wonderful in VR if it meets your taste.no bugs, no crashes and solid game mechanics.ok now this review is more than just a +1 lol. Dudes... this is good! Hope i could help, thanx for reading.. It is a very fun little Maze Game with a strong halloween theme to it. The movement is nearly flawless as you can change from teleportation to fast free movement with just 2 clicks right in the game. But what is especially awesome is the artwork and style of this game. It works even better in VR. You have the feeling of really beeing in a cardboard build city block. Weapon handling is great and there is even an indicator on the floor for the front facing crowd to not get tangled in their cord :D And with the randomized maps it gives you great value for your money here. More of that artstyle in VR please!. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2hMVnRG0OUSo I have been wanting to do a Game vid for a while but there has been nothing but a constant stream of shovelware on Steam since Emberstone. Doom came out and I was pumped but not only was the game not fun to play but when I tried to record it crashed my computer. Then I looked back and was like,. HEY I haven't played Kartong yet! I have to say I've been missing out! So many game devs seem to forget they are building their game in VR. I Loved SVRVIVE when it came out and this Studio nailed it again. Kartong is so fun to play and so immersive! I completely forgot I was recording in many instances I was so absorbed in this game. It's bascially a Pac Man Style game really where you try to get through these atmospheric cardboard mazes and collect items to battle the enemies that are roaming through the maze. I must admit I thought for some reason there was a multi player mode but alas ,.. there is not. would be fun to run around and race your friends to the end though! nudge nudge wink wink SVRVIVE studios. haha. Graphics: At first I was pretty dissapointed until I saw the settings menu, which btw is super easy to use and navigate using motion control, and bumped up the settings and man. they are beautiful. super crisp and clear! The style of this game is just so great. you really feel like you are a tiny person in this giant maze made by some messed up kid ,.. seriously,.. this kid has issues... from the Giant roaches that scurry by you to the freaky♥♥♥♥♥teddy bears and those damn bunny things! I don't know if there are more I didn't play forever but they are certainly creepy! just a super atmosphere! Sound: Sound is great! directional which is handy for hearing where those enemies are coming from with the spooky sounds that they make as they walk around. the music is great! kind of a creepy circus/toy store style music that plays hauntingly in the background. Locomotion: you have the option to teleport, or walk and can play the free loco decoupled or not,.. (ahem bethesda,.. WTF!?) so that is great! It is just so important for game devs to give us those options. I for one initially got sick with free loco when I first started playing VR in sept 16,. but have got my VR legs now and teleport just sucks in comparisson but I can see why it needs to be there. Just give us the option! thanks SVRVIVE! My only gripe would be that you have to stand in the little circle in the middle of your playspace or the game goes black. For room scale purposes I would love to be able to move around a bit more. Game play: the peeps at SVRVIVE studios just nail it when it comes to VR game play. There is so much more to it than just walking and shooting. Kartong does a great job of utilizing motion controllers! You can effortlessly pick up the obects you find and items that are find in giant gift boxes all over the mazes. Also you open the boxes with either big steering wheels or turn keys that you find after killing the eneimies in the mazes. things like loading your crossbow with different types of ammo like stick pins, or lit matches, (don't forget to light you matches, haha) just feel great and natural. just another way to make you feel immersed in your game! So in closeing, Kartong is a title you really must have in your VR Library. I does right what so many big "AAA" studios do wrong! for like 9 bucks or whatever the price is it's totally worth the money. Really I feel like this game could be easily a 25 dollar game. Do yourself a favor and download Kartong and enjoy!. What a very inexpensive and immediately imaginative experience. In a VR environment that is overrun by generic wave shooters, this rouge-like puzzle survival game stands out with creativity. A very twisted and quite scary experience that is in a league of it's own. Highly recommended.. This game is super cool. The artstyle of the cardboard city is very cool and almost cute, but looks can be decieving when you strap on your headset. Although it may not be the scariest, this game is CREEPY AS HELL. And I love it. It is so much darker and freakier in the Vive or Oculus than it appears on the monitor. The despearate need to find the gear when the windows go red and the ticking sounds get louder (meaning the monster/s is/are close) also makes this game super intense. I would recomend this to all VR owners. It's very innovative, and Devs, keep up the great work!. I highly recommend it, if it runs without issue's on your system. I only had about 15 minutes with this, and regretfully had to refund. I loved the quality of the graphics, the crisp colors and cardboard theme. Its a feast for the eyes. The gameplay was intriging and it made me want to dive right in. But after playing a few minutes, suddenly the graphics start to fade in and out and the sound stops for a cpl seconds. Yet the game keeps flowing, it doesn't freeze. Hopefully it'll be addressed in an update. If so, I'd absolutely buy it again. Based on what I did get to see and play, but because of the issue I had, I give it a 3 out of 5. The visuals I rate a 5! Overall, it looks like it could be 5 star material, maybe once it's tweaked.. Strange, weird, creepy, bizarre, obnoxious, insane, mad, zany, nightmarish and freakish. Just some of the things that describe 'Kartong' and make it an indispensable purchase! Miss at your peril! 10/10. Very fun and clever game, have fun beating the game in many ways, You can set traps, lure enemies, light your ammo on fire, all while navigating a unique level each time you play.Definitely worth it, I only just started playing and i'm hooked.
