'The Alien Cube' Is A Lovecraftian Horror Adventure Coming to PC Next Month - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Sept. 16, 2021 @ 9:40 a.m. PDT

The Alien Cube is a Lovecraftian horror adventure where a disturbing reality is about to be unveiled, secrets forbidden to mankind older than the Earth itself.

The Alien cube is a spiritual successor to "The Land of Pain", in which you play as the protagonist’s nephew. 

In this cosmic horror first-person adventure you play as Arthur, a lonely man whose life is about to change drastically when strange events start to occur after finding out about the disappearance of your uncle, Edgar. The world you live in is intertwined with a terribly secret, dark and occult reality in which your uncle seemed to have played an important role. Tormented by nightmarish visions, you will need to embark on a journey to seek out the truth and survive the darkness that is haunting you. 

You wake up, bathed in sweat: you’ve been having bad dreams again. The strange cave, the occult symbols, the ritual site… and then that strange cube-shaped whispering artifact falling from the sky -it all seemed so real. But you are awake now, and true reality hits like a bucket of cold water: the breakup with Jenny, the move, your uncle Edgar's mysterious disappearance… The doorbell catches you off guard: it is a letter, a testament from no less than your uncle, leaving you his apartment and a warning to get rid of all his manuscripts. It is time to finally go there and try to find some clues. What you don't know yet is that this search will unchain a series of terrifying revelations, secrets that should stay buried forever, and that your worst nightmares will soon come out to the light of day.

You will be thrown into a spiral of terrifying discoveries and embark on a journey that will haunt your soul and change your life forever, challenging you to confront a terrible truth that will threaten your sanity and your very existence.
