Per PLAION, “The Sandfox, known as the Kasha’I, is famed across the land as part of the legendary line of faithful protectors and servants to the crown. In this ‘Stealthvania’ adventure players will explore the majestic palace in the ancient desert city Kariman, under siege by its neighbouring kingdom, and venture into the ruins below to overcome a threat from a sand-borne evil.
“In The Siege and the Sandfox players will master dynamic parkour abilities and use cunning and stealth to discover the true threat lurking within.”

Olly Bennet, CEO of Cardboard Sword said, “We are excited for our debut title The Siege and the Sandfox to finally get into players’ hands! Developing a meaningful 2D stealth game has been an ambitious undertaking for the team, and we are eager for our fans to play and enjoy it.
“As a studio we set out on this development journey to create a new indie game IP with a unique 2D stealth element. Art led a lot of our development process, inspiring the narrative and gameplay mechanics. The hand-animated retro-style pixel art, combined with the hand painted normal maps and Unreal lighting and effects, provides an incredibly rich visual for players – really immersing them into the game world of the Sandfox.”
The Siege and the Sandfox is coming to PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG and Humble on 21 May 2025.
