Cubicus Arcanum

Cubicus Arcanum is a 3D puzzle game set in Cubicus, a world made of cubes. After a mysterious voice asks for help through an interdimensional portal, you enter it, lose consciousness during the journey and wake in Cubicus. A scientist-looking cubeman urges you to find blue gems, leaving you to discover what happened to the world and uncover its secrets.

Dungeons and stages

Your main goal is to collect blue gems, which unlock the doors that let you escape each dungeon. The dungeons contain traps, hazards and dangerous inanimate cubes, along with items to collect and secrets to find. The game has 10 stages, each with its own mechanics and a monstrous boss waiting at the end.

Levels and items

There are 250 levels in total: 200 normal levels, 20 hidden levels and 20 riddler's levels. An inventory holds 14 collectible items, including shields, bombs, treasure maps and story pieces that reveal the mystery. The game also has 22 tutorials that are designed to be easy to follow and almost textless.

Customization and lives

You can customize the main character with currency and skins found in the game; real-money purchases are not needed. The game includes 26 trophies that you unlock based on your performance. Dying or getting stuck can cost a life, and restarting a level also makes you lose one. A Hearts mini-game lets you win lives back and continue the adventure.

Bosses and soundtrack

The 10 bosses cap the game's 10 stages. Cubicus Arcanum also includes an original soundtrack.
