History

[edit]

Return 2 Games series

[edit]

The company initially focused on defining principles of Return 2 Games - a series of 7 titles aiming to re-capture the feeling and experience of classic games from the '90s[3][4]. The series were announced three years after creation of the studio (2015)[5]. All games in the series will utilize card mechanics and take place in the same setting (called Paperverse) in which characters and objects are made of cut and folded paper[6][7]. Games from the series are aimed at mid-core gamers[8][9]. Games are made in CUG (Thing Trunk's in-house engine)[1].
