Welcome to C.A.R.D.WARE

C.A.R.D.WARE is a 3D, turn-based stealth game where you play as a hitman robot tasked to collect parts from your target. Controlling the player’s movements and actions with cards, play your way through a variety of levels while building your deck of cardware.

Goal

Using the cards in your hand, move through the level, take out the target, and avoid getting spotted by the enemies.

How the Game Works

You are a hitman robot tasked with taking out a target somewhere within the level. Attacking enemies can get you more cardware, which once added to your inventory will give you additional cards in your deck.  

Cards

Cards are split into 3 basic types: movement, attack, and utility (powerups). All cards correspond to pieces of cardware in your inventory - this can be swapped out to change your deck.

- Always have 5 cards in hand, cards drawn at the beginning of each round

- No cards are guaranteed  

- You can discard a card to gain 2 movement

Enemies

Many enemies will be patrolling throughout the map. If the player enters an enemy's line of sight that enemy is alerted.

 - If the player takes out the enemy before the end of their turn, then nothing will happen. Otherwise, all enemies will begin moving towards the player's last spotted position

 - You can avoid the enemy’s FOV by hiding behind cover - game objects in the scene that cut the enemy’s view 

If an enemy is stunned, a small number will appear for the amount of rounds they will not move
