Press release:
ANTWERP, BELGIUM – Announcing Rip It! Card Collector, a tactile card-collecting sim and incremental that captures the moreish thrill of opening, collecting, and organising thousands of trading cards. Developed by Cybernetic Walrus, the team behind Order 13 and Roadside Research, Rip It! Card Collector is headed to PC.

Rip It! Card Collector simulates the satisfying ritual that makes card collecting so compelling. Tear open a pack and see what you’ve pulled before sorting through your haul and cashing in your cards. Then use the potentially life-changing proceeds to fuel increasingly questionable purchasing decisions.

There are over 1,800 cards to track down, making this organise-’em-up a collector’s dream. With everything from standard pulls to elusive super rares to discover, ‘just one more pack’ will quickly turn into hours of meticulously arranging virtual cardboard into one very large binder.

Opening packs by hand will only get you so far. To complete your collection, you’ll need to build out your workstation with new machines and gear to “accelerate” the process. Sell your unwanted dupes and spend the returns on upgrades that will transform your humble desk into a ridiculous card processing monstrosity.

Rip It! Card Collector key features:

More than 1,800 cards to collect and organise: Give in to your inner completionist. Open pack after pack and hunt down missing cards to fill out your collection. Bring order to chaos by tidying messy card piles into neatly arranged binders.

Construct your very own card-ripping command centre: Your workstation comes stacked with mechanical potential. Unlock upgrades to optimise your pack opening. Transform your operation from hand-cranked into automated card processing perfection.

Chase the rares: A collection isn’t a collection without something painfully difficult to find. Alongside the huge pool of cards, Rip It! Card Collector features expensive cards, secret promos, and super-rare pulls. There’s always another card to find.

Rip It! Card Collector will launch on Steam. Wishlist now for the latest news.

You can follow Cybernetic Walrus on Bluesky, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Head to the team’s Discord to access a closed playtest, and share your rare pulls while you’re there.
