Cubin

About

Cubin is a first-person platformer where you solve spatial puzzles using a gravity-manipulating cube. You navigate a series of increasingly intricate experiments, adjusting gravity to reposition objects, create paths, and progress through environments. The game blends physical challenges with logic-based solutions, requiring you to test boundaries and adapt to shifting conditions. A companion character offers hints as you figure out a story about identity and artificial existence, though the focus remains firmly on the mechanical gameplay. The standout is the gravity cube's versatility, which reshapes each level's possibilities. With 60 experiments across single-player mode, the difficulty scales steadily, balancing accessibility with complexity. Community playtests highlight its clever use of physics, though some note the story remains vague until late in the game. Launching January 6, 2025 for PC, it’s a leaner take on the genre that prioritizes puzzle-solving over spectacle.

Storyline

Cubin is a first-person puzzle-platform game that immerses you in the LGA experience. During your journey, you'll meet Alice, who will help and guide you through the finer points of the experience. Pick up the gravity cube and interact with the control room to complete and pass through a new, ever more complex experiment. Prepare to think, glide, fly, explode and also encounter failure. Discover yourself, who you really are on this adventure, how far you can go... At the same time, discover what lies behind this rather dubious experiment.
