Squareface

Squareface is a third-person role-playing game about a cardboard-and-paper character facing enemies and challenges in a large, mysterious world. You fight, explore and solve challenges across more than 40 original story missions, with additional survival, race and experimental levels. The story levels include humor, and the environments are large.

Customize your character

You choose your character’s gender, clothes, weapons and backpack, with dozens of customization options. Clothing for different parts of the body is mostly independent of gender, and costumes unlock as you play. Your character’s appearance affects pocket size, which determines how much cash you can carry, and coolness as a skill. You can also print blueprints for unlocked costumes and craft paper models to use as tokens in the Squareface: Board Game; this feature is not available on the Mac version.

Fight and build

You can choose melee, primary and secondary weapons, along with grenades, mines, guns, cannons and other artillery. The game has a distinct skills system and complex but intuitive weapon mechanics. You also build and defend a base of operations, crafting paper structures that provide protection, increase carrying capacity, help recruit troops and support vehicle management.

Manage allies and vehicles

Allies and pets can accompany your character. Companions have pocket size, damage and speed characteristics, can receive attack orders, and carry extra money; pets can shelter in the Barracks. You also manage vehicles and a garage: vehicles provide transportation and safety, and the garage determines how much you can upgrade cars, trucks and other vehicles. You can race them as well.

Other content

The game includes original soundtracks, checkpoints throughout its challenges, and a variety of items and tools to find along the way.
