'The Last Cube' (ALL) Scheduled For Later This Year - Screens & Trailer

The Last Cube is a three-dimensional puzzle game with innovative mechanics.

You, the Last Cube, were awakened for a purpose: to save this peculiar world from collapsing by solving puzzle tracks left by your ancestors. In The Last Cube you play as a sentient, metallic cube, lost in a strange world full of mysteries and dozens of secrets to find. Venture through six unique areas of the cube-world and overcome three-dimensional brain-teasers.

The Last Cube is a richly atmospheric puzzle game about guiding a cube through a plethora of moody, monolithic chambers as you uncover the story behind this peculiar world. Explore a wide array of brutalist architecture ranging from foggy nightmarish abysses, to oppressive lava lit factories, to uplifting natural landscapes full of golden rays of sunshine glistening against mountains. Coupled with an epic soundtrack that thoroughly enriches the atmosphere, and an abstract story of a dying world on the cusp of ruin, The Last Cube is a moody, mysterious puzzler that fully immerses you in its derelict world.

Each of The Last Cube’s stages introduces a new type of sticker you can latch onto a side of your cube, introducing an entirely new mechanic. Some will allow you to dash through barriers, others will create makeshift stairs, and some grant the ability to teleport over bottomless gaps or conjure temporary, but useful cube friends. Positioning your cube to acquire the desired stickers on the correct surface can range from pleasingly simplistic, to masochistic head scratchers as you scramble through The Last Cube’s 100+ puzzles. New mechanics are introduced at a breezy clip, rapidly expanding one’s perception of what your cube is capable of.

Clamouring through each chamber offers a sturdy challenge, though only the most dedicated players will uncover all of The Last Cube’s bevy of collectibles and bonus stages littered throughout the adventure. Do you have what it takes to solve the puzzle tracks left by your ancestors and save this peculiar world from collapsing? 


"We've identified the audience who loves atmospheric puzzle games with lightweight narrative - we ourselves love these games. The Last Cube is an experience that delivers exactly that, while the unique mechanics also bring a whole novel aspect to it", said Max Samarin, creative director at Improx Games. "You might have played certain cube games as a kid, but not executed like this. And it's not just about the puzzles - it's also a cosmic adventure through a varied, alien world full of mystery and wonder that draws players from outside the puzzle genre as well."

Players interested in trying the game out can head to The Last Cube’s Steam page and download the demo, which demonstrates the variety in the puzzles and mechanics that will be further expanded in the full game.

Key Features:

  • Master mind-bending mechanics: Every level has something new to learn and old to master. As you progress, familiar mechanics return with interesting twists—utilize every cube trick in your arsenal to overcome these challenges.
  • Over 100 increasingly difficult puzzles: Breathers and easier puzzles between difficult sections ensure an optimal play experience. Levels consist of many puzzles, and each level is part of a larger environmental theme. You will find even more puzzles in unlockable bonus levels.
  • Exploration is rewarded: Levels are sprawled with secrets and have optional challenges for great replayability. The stories behind the mechanics, places and cubes that you encounter can be found in lore entries hidden in levels. Beware: the secrets range in difficulty from obvious ones to extremely difficult mind-bogglers!

The Last Cube is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PC/Mac/Linux (Steam) in 2021.
