Overview
CUBE - The 125 Chambers - is an indie adventure from developer and publisher Kurogatari, released on November 10, 2026. You wake up sealed inside a sterile, featureless cubic chamber, and every hatch you open—up, down, left, right, forward, backward—leads to another room that looks exactly the same. The whole structure is a 5x5x5 grid of 125 interconnected chambers, and somewhere inside it is a way out.
The premise is simple, but the tension is constant. One wrong step can set off a lethal trap, and the cryptic numbers engraved on each threshold may be the only thing standing between you and a dead end.
Highlights
- A grid-based escape thriller built around a massive 5x5x5 structure of 125 chambers, where spatial awareness matters as much as nerve.
- High-tension exploration: a variety of hidden deadly traps must be identified and evaded, and the Steam tags include Perma Death, so mistakes carry weight.
- Logical deduction is the core loop—decipher the room markings and spatial cues to work out which passages are safe.
Who It's For
This one is aimed at players who enjoy puzzle-driven exploration with a psychological edge. The Steam user tags—Puzzle, Psychological Horror, Thriller, Mystery, Sci-fi, Dark—paint a clear picture: if you like quiet dread, careful observation, and the satisfaction of cracking a code room by room, the 125 chambers should feel like a welcome trap. Those who prefer action-heavy adventures or generous checkpoints may find the permadeath tension less forgiving.
