White Shark Games

A paper horror roguelike. Climb the five dungeons in one life, and then hers.

Our first game

Fold. Fight. Climb.

FOLDEAD is a first-person, turn-based roguelike dungeon crawler cut from paper and card.

Five dungeons stand under the hall, one for each element: fire, water, wind, lightning and earth. Climb them in the order you choose, twenty-two floors each, in one life. Then climb hers.

Every floor you win is a pick: learn a new skill, or bend one you already hold down its path. The monsters fight with the same skills you do, and every one of them shows you what it is about to do.

  • 50 skills, every one a branching pathTwelve physical arts, four spells for each element, and passives. Each level you take is one of two options.
  • Start with two, hold sixYour hand grows as you climb. What you hold is your build.
  • Read the roomEvery enemy shows its intent and its skills in plain numbers. Turn-based, mouse only, no guessing.
  • A story in torn drawingsThree drawings were torn to pieces and left in the dungeons. Find them all.

Every wall, monster and spell is drawn from splines and cut from card, lit by candles and inked with lines that never sit still.

FightEvery skill is cast from your hand, in its school's colour.
