About The Alien Cube
The Alien Cube is a first-person horror adventure in which you play as Arthur, a lonely man drawn into an occult mystery after his Uncle Edgar disappears. Haunted by nightmarish visions, Arthur searches for the truth behind his uncle’s role in a dark reality and tries to survive the horrors that pursue him.
Arthur’s search
After waking from dreams of a strange cave, occult symbols, a ritual site and a cube-shaped artifact falling from the sky, Arthur faces upheaval in his waking life: his breakup with Jenny, a move and Edgar’s disappearance. A letter delivers Edgar’s testament, leaving Arthur his apartment and warning him to dispose of his manuscripts. Arthur goes there to look for clues, setting off revelations and buried secrets as his nightmares begin to enter the waking world.
Explore and survive
You face hostile weather and travel through snowy forests, forgotten dungeons and otherworldly locations. You explore frightening places, interact with objects, solve puzzles and search for clues that can help unravel the mystery.
The wider story
The game follows the past of Uncle Edgar, who is the protagonist of The Land of Pain, and reveals the connection between the two games. Its visual world uses CryEngine 5 and photogrammetric technology, with ambient sounds and an atmospheric soundtrack supporting its horror setting.
