History
Return 2 Games series
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]
