MechCube: Escape

MechCube: Escape is a puzzle game set inside a mysterious structure known as The Cube. You move through its many rooms by solving the puzzle contraption at the center of each one, unlocking passages to further rooms.

The Cube

The story includes the account of Incident 1172-a, in which a portal opened at 04:56:06 and a frail, gray-haired man emerged. He was identified as a photographer from the expedition that discovered The Cube seven years earlier. He died within 24 hours, repeatedly saying, “THERE IS ETERNITY.” An autopsy found that his internal organs were in unusual positions, as if an unknown force had scrambled them.

As you explore, you encounter deadly traps and can discover hidden artifacts, including references to modern pop culture. Your overall goal is to find every ending, most of which are secret, and collect all the artifacts.

Puzzles and endings

Each room’s control panel presents a distinct enigma. Puzzles include ciphers, logic challenges, attentiveness tests, tasks that require correlating information, and problems that call for thinking outside the box. They range from simple to extremely hard.

The game features gruesome traps, secrets and Easter eggs, and several possible endings. Its colorful, hand-drawn comic art and music evoke dark science-fiction stories.
