Kartong - Death by Cardboard! puts you up against wicked experiments inside the miniature city of Kartong. You have been shrunken down to the size of a guinea pig, trapping you in a home-built cardboard maze of evil toys & traps. Your goal is now to escape! But beware, "Sven" is watching you.
The game puts players in the role of a shrunken test subject trapped in a series of deadly, randomly generated mazes filled with traps and hostile enemies. The objective is to navigate these mazes, collect gears to open the exit, and ultimately escape the miniaturized cardboard city.
Players must carefully explore the interconnected rooms and corridors of the cardboard environments, using both stealth and combat to overcome obstacles. The procedurally generated mazes ensure a unique experience each playthrough, with players able to choose between free locomotion or teleportation movement to suit their VR comfort level.
Stealth is crucial, as many enemies can quickly overwhelm players. Players must use line of sight, sound cues, and environmental awareness to avoid detection and plan their moves carefully. When detection is inevitable, players have access to a variety of makeshift weapons, such as a crossbow that can fire pins, matches, and other improvised projectiles. Ammo and resources are limited, encouraging players to use them judiciously and exploit the environment to their advantage.
As players progress through the increasingly difficult mazes, they will encounter more elaborate traps and a greater number of enemies. Players must collect a certain number of gears to open the exit for each level, and the procedurally generated nature of the mazes provides a high degree of replayability and challenge. Additionally, the game offers a unique seed system, allowing players to share and replay specific maze configurations with friends.
The game effectively leverages the unique capabilities of virtual reality, making players feel truly small and vulnerable within the miniature cardboard world. The creepy enemy designs, ominous audio, and unsettling atmosphere contribute to the overall tension of the gameplay.
According to user reviews, players have praised the game's unique and compelling gameplay, highlighting the strong atmospheric presentation, the satisfying stealth and combat mechanics, and the high degree of replayability. The game's accessibility options, including both free locomotion and teleportation, have also been well-received.
