About Beneath the Cardboard: Be Happy

You will have to survive the cold New Year's Eve, look for food in the trash in the world where no one cares about you. This is an adventure where you have to survive Christmas, a holiday that has never been so cold before...

Completely recreated from scratch

Beneath the Cardboard: Be Happy — a project that turned into a full-fledged remake. The game takes the idea and atmosphere of Teodor Chirvasiu's Beneath the Cardboard, but remains original. All the 3D models, soundtrack, code and design of the game were made manually from scratch.

Try to find a happiness in the flow of melancholy

Plunge into an atmosphere of hopelessness, harsh survival instead of a normal life. The wind is getting colder, the night is getting darker and passers-by do not become more empathic, and the only one who can help you is yourself. New melancholic and dreary soundtrack in ambient genre will help you get into the game world.
Look for leftovers in the trash, burn boxes to keep warm, and be careful at night.

Be careful at the night

When going on night wanderings, look around. You never know what terrors in the night can await you on the street, right?

when i played it , i got really nostalgic shock, and im really returned to my childhood, i can say, This is The Best Survival Game EVER!, because i love music of this game (ye i bought this game with Soundtrack bundle), gameplay is easy and mobile, anyone can play this. + i should say about Winter Vibe, because i love blizzard and winter/christmas times, I just love this game, I highly recommend playing it, even if it looks raw and seems very bad! Just play, or compete with your friends to see who can last the longest. Personally, I've survived for 9 maximum hours (today), which may not seem like a long time, but I just bought the game, and I'm still learning. I promise that I'll make it to Christmas one day! Thanks Developer(s)!

I want to like this game, i find it oddly peaceful and cosy (even though i'm aware that its supposed to be harsh) only bad part is that it suffers from main mechanic bugs. i have died (or froze) multiple times with over half of my temperature bar left WHILE standing next to a big fire in shelter. the match mechanic could be improved although it is functional. only other thing id say is keep on updating it with bug fixes and you will have a very unique experience of a game here, one that i would enjoy (oh and more in depth instructions / tutorial would go a long way as well) :)

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
