Linda Cube

About

Linda Cube is a role-playing game that mixes survival mechanics with creature collection. Set in Neo Kenya, a world facing annihilation from an incoming asteroid, the story follows a desperate population that turns to a dark deity for salvation. Players navigate a twisted narrative where prayers manifest as violent nightmares, blending resource management with encounters that force moral compromises. Combat involves gathering and commanding grotesque creatures, though the game’s pacing often feels uneven between exploration and sudden bursts of graphic gore. The title stands out for its shock value and unapologetic brutality, which earned it one of the first 18+ ratings on the PC Engine CD. Released in 1995, it remains a niche oddity among retro RPGs, remembered as much for its controversial scenes as its ambitious but flawed design. Its cult following persists in niche retro gaming circles, though its legacy is more infamous than celebrated.
