Carotic is a top-down 3D couch-co-op hide and seek game for 2-4 players. Each player plays the role of a car in a very busy city. Their task is to drive like the other NPC cars while trying to identify the other players. In order to gain points the other players must be destroyed by dashing into them. The player with the most points after a set amount of time wins.
Carotic was created as part of the master’s degree in MultiMediaTechnology at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences. The game was mainly developed by Marc Kletz with a bit of help from other students, which are all mentioned in the CREDITS section. It started as an asymmetric multiplayer game, then a split screen hide and seek with random events and finally evolved into the carotic game which it is now. The game features five game modes, all with different quirks. The game will be available on Steam for Windows.
