“Fellow sparkly cardboard fiends, this one’s for you.”

“In a good way, this is giving me vibes of a game that I would play too much of and become depressed afterwards... because of how good it is.”

About This Game

Trading Card Inspector is a uniquely styled, chilled-out, papers-please-'em-up set in the cutthroat, absurd world of Habubis Corporation.

Inspect your way through dozens of hand-drawn, hilarious trading cards as you investigate the mysterious Habubis Corporation in Story Mode, or until you ultimately perish in Endless mode!

Use guideline notes, errata memos, reference lists and your own wits to identify if a card is valid or invalid! It'll then be up to you to find the accurate value for valid cards, while destroying invalid cards with the shredder.

                          

As Habubis Corporation's new premier Trading Card Inspector, you're put in charge of quality control for their wildly popular Habubis Trading Card Game. Learn the ropes, rate the cards and rise through the ranks while uncovering a tale of friendship, corporate espionage and murder?!

You'll get to meet shady characters, make tough choices and attempt to discover the truth within 'The Truth', all while dealing with ever-increasing difficulty modifiers that turn the gameplay on its head and mess with your perception.

You'll need to keep a sharp eye open and your wisdom about you as you inspect, appraise, verify and value cards in an ever-maddening world of corporate evil and bureaucracy.

As you progress through STORY MODE, new and exciting gameplay modifiers are unlocked for use in ENDLESS MODE, where you can work to beat your previous score and earn tons of cash to spend in the Habubis Company Store.

                          

With each modifier you enable, the difficulty creeps up, but so too does your payment for each card successfully graded. Be careful that your risk doesn't eclipse your reward!

Work until you die!

There are over 160+ unique, hand-drawn trading cards to unlock, each with their own stories available to enjoy in the Card Gallery.

                                        

Oh, and of course there's Plarbo too!

Trading Card Inspector's quirky 1-bit visual style is highly customizable, with 40 unlockable color palettes and 20 desk patterns, as well as several silly desk-widgets.

                         

Pick out a great combination and make your workspace truly yours (within company guidelines).
