==================================

WARNING: Do not play if you’re scared by squares.

Scared by Squares is an exploration experience built entirely from cubes. Use your senses to navigate each room as you solve puzzles, survive platforming challenges, and hunt anomalies. What secrets will you uncover?

This game runs in both standard and VR modes.

Uncover the Mystery

You have been sent into The Cube, a digital prison made of perfect squares, to investigate reports of corrupted geometry. Your mission: locate and cleanse all anomalies and restore balance before they consume everything.

Test Your Skill

Between mind-bending puzzles, hidden traps, and cubic enemies lurking around each corner, every room you enter offers a new challenge. Harness all your will, focus, and courage to make it through.

Adapt & Overcome

Ongoing developments bring new challenges to your experience within The Cube. More floors and puzzles, new anomalies, and features such as multiplayer will be added as The Cube continues to expand.
