About the Game

Cages: Hidden Worlds is an immersive first-person puzzle escape game, where every sound, shadow, and mechanism brings an eerie sense of mystery and impending doom. Solve the workings of complex, original machinery and uncover the secrets buried within.

Step into the inner workings of a freak show carnival like no other, but by all means try not to remain there. Discover the surreal worlds hidden inside the cracks of a mansion that offers much more than meets the eye at first glance.

Face the Crimson Pulse, a mysterious life-giving force with unpredictable side effects. Channel its energy through a strange artifact known as The Eye. Just be careful...

It didn’t end well for the last ones who tried to wield it.

Features:

  • Explore a decrepit mansion hiding the remnants of a freak show carnival within its walls.

  • Uncover the fate of forgotten creatures that were once the stars of the show.

  • Solve unique tactile puzzles with multiple layers and different themes.

  • Collect and use hundreds of hand-crafted items to reveal hidden mechanisms.

  • Experience atmospheric audio that pulls you deeper into the mystery.
