A Solid Game of Survival Set in a Unique World

CardLife is a game of survival where you would be building your own house from cards, to rest in or sleep during night and safeguard yourself from your enemies. The game is open-world, not restricting you from anything you can possibly imagine.

Eating for Survival

This crafting game comprises a hunger mechanic. This means the little cardboard avatar you see on screen lives hand to mouth. To satiate its hunger, the corrugated cardboard creature eats raw meat, and not peanuts or several colored crepe paper bits you would expect it to. To locate a meal, you would be stalking through the forest and battling animals to death, so that you could feast on their hot flesh. This is the only time you would come across meat in the game. The game otherwise is replete with pulped wood bits.

Beautiful Scenery

The landscapes in the game are made of layered corrugated cardboard sheets. The map in the game isn’t generated procedurally, but designed by hand. The biomes range from snowy tundra to dense forests and the animals are all shapes of cardboard, like those popular 1990s 3D jigsaws. This cute crafts and arts aesthetics neatly feed into the game. Almost all objects you craft could be tailored by doodling the constituent parts’ outline, providing a level of unbridled creative freedom.
