Beneath the Cardboard is a game created by a Romanian developer. It was published on Gamejolt on December 15, 2013. According to the developer, the project was inspired by a story about poor children.

Beneath the Cardboard: Be Happy is an official remake made by Lunsemo Studios. This remake expands potential of the original game by adding new features. The game is regularly updating, and multiplayer is expected to be added in the future.

The player's main goal is to survive as long as possible in this harsh, cold world full of indifferent snowmen by searching for food and setting fire to boxes to keep warm. There are a lot of interesting secrets in the game that the player can encounter along the way.

If you are not aware of the new features of this remake, then I recommend going to the page I made in the thematic wiki (it's in russian, but you can use google translate on the page):

And remember, you can always load the game if you will not press "restart" after death.

All important locations of the city are marked here.
The red dot indicates the player's spawn points.

| Burn your first box

| Die for the first time

| Survive your first and unfriendly day

| Run into the snowman for 25 times

| Cold Wound.
To achieve this, you need to become a victim of a maniac. The maniac mostly walks at night near the bakery and around the walls of this residential area (outside and rarely inside):

In order for him to catch you, you don't have to be in the light (light from a streetlights, from a burning box).

| Survive three days
To survive in this game for more than two days, you need to lead a nomadic lifestyle, although shelter tactics are not excluded. The disadvantages of the shelter tactic become apparent as the days pass, because by clearing all the resources around one point, in the future you will have to go further and further to find them.

But for this exact achievement the tactics are quite simple. Searching for food first, setting burning the boxes when the thermometer is half cooled, searching for matches as you continue to search for food in trash cans, and buying missing resources from Salesman for coins.

| Buy something from Salesman
The Salesman's counter (SnowTorg) is located behind the door on the right at the bakery, one of the starting points. To achieve this, you need to buy something from a Salesman.

| Save up 15 matches
It's best to look for matches in trash cans while you're looking for food, and sometimes they just lie at the entrances. There are many matches under the benches in the park.


Coins can be found all over the map. They mostly spawn on boxes, at entrances and under benches. You can find the most at a time in the village, at the train station and the playground.

| Break the billboard
To achieve this, you need to take a stone and throw it at the billboard. There is a stone next to each billboard. Here, for example, is an advertising billboard near a bakery, the stone is located nearby, on the opposite side of the road:
"тут" = "here"

| Is this your goal?
To get this achievement, you need to find the severed heads of snowmen, you can find them on my map called "Maniac's Hideout", it looks like this:

Taking the head of the dead snowman in your hands, go to the school, where the football gates are located. Carry the snowman's head carefully.

To throw the ball into the goal, you must run forward and release head in the process.

| Nice to meet you.
The previously mythical Green Snowman appeared in the remake. You can meet him in the park on the veranda on the second night when the text «I need to meet someone in the park...» appears.

After the dialogue with him, he needs to give 10 matches, and then Polite will give the lighter to the main character, referring to the fact that he will need it more. The achievement is completed! From now on, the player can approach the Green Snowman at any time and refill the lighter if it runs out of fuel.

| Bring five candies to the Ghost House during the Freezing Ghost event

To get this achievement, you need to wait until Halloween (October 31-November 1). Unfortunately, changing the date on the computer does not work.
Then a Freeze-O'-Lantern (pumpkin) will appear in the park next to one of the benches.
You will need to find 5 candies and put them there. Good luck not eating candy on the way to the pumpkin!

So, you finally decided to complete the game with all the achievements.
A short note: The full day and night cycle in the game lasts 24 minutes.
24 (minutes) x 20 (days) = 480 (minutes of real time) = 8 (HOURS of real time).
As a honourable homeless Romanian child for achievements of "Beneath the Cardboard: Be Happy", I will tell you all the secrets of obtaining the three achievements you desire.

---

All 20 days you need to lead a nomadic lifestyle, do not make shelters for a long play.

Boxes and Heat. Do not collect piles of boxes in one place, it can be all burned by the accident. If the temperature drops by half, we are not afraid to spend a match/lighter on the box. It is better if you set fire to two boxes at once, because the player will warm up much faster (their heat is summed up). If you sit down by the fire, the result will be even better. Do not bring yourself to frostbite.

The food indicator should be kept almost always full, but at the same time, you should not eat food in vain (when the indicator is at its maximum, but you are still eating), you should not do this. Memorize each location of the food, turn over each trash can, pull out its contents and put them near the trash can. It will all come in handy in the future.

From the very beginning of the game, keep in mind the Polit's quest (the Green Snowman), and before the words «I need to meet someone in the park...» appear, we are looking for matches. 10 matches = a lighter. You can't survive 20 days on matches alone. If the fuel runs out, the lighter can be refilled by the help of Polit himself.

Actively collect coins throughout the game. Coin Locations:

• Trash Cans
  
• On the boxes
  
• Entrances and their similarities
  
• Under the benches in the park
  
• On the playground (a lot)
  
• North station (under the seats)
  
• Village (behind one of the houses >5 coins)
  
• Restaurant NEAR THE SCHOOL
  
• School
  
• Building
  
• Polit's second quest (gives 20 coins as a thank you)

And the most important thing:

• GO AROUND THE BUILDINGS FROM ALL SIDES, sometimes there are such stashes with coins, it's just a sight.

There are a total of >130 coins on the map, so do not be afraid to spend money on coffee at the most terrible moment (it gives immunity to the cold for a while). But this is an unplanned emergency expense, and we will still need the coins for the second phase.

«Where are those coins...»

The second phase slowly begins when you have survived for 10 days. When there is less and less food, and you have collected almost all the coins. Coins will play a key role in the second half of your long journey. We spend all the money on food at Salesman's, for convenience, we put all the canned food in one place. It looks something like this:

After that run all over the map and burn boxes, periodically returning to the place with food.
And so on to the deep end, and these 3 achievements will be yours. All. Are you ready to spend your time on this? I do.

| Survive ten days

| Collect 100 coins

| Survive twenty days

The guide will be updated as the game updates.

Beneath the Cardboard: Be Happy is a wonderful remake that was truly made with love. I haven't seen such heartfelt and vibey games for a long time. Tell your friends about it and create content based on the game if you can. I hope this game will blow up someday and spread all over the world. I, in turn, will continue to make content on this game to the best of my ability.

Be Happy!
