The Game Review
Cube Escape: Paradox is a single-player game based on a 2D environment. The game only features a single campaign mode where players traverse through the storyline until their character finally manages to escape from the cube-like universe.
The game begins when the main protagonist wakes up in an unusual room. Initially, the player’s character is unaware of his surroundings as he experiences short-term memory loss.
As they get familiar with their surroundings, players are required to explore different parts of the room in order to search for clues. The game enables players to remember the items they collect in order to use them further in the game.
Another feature which provokes players to brainstorm for new ideas is the puzzles that appear throughout every chapter. Naturally, each puzzle is unique and different from the previous one and each requires the players to come up with a strategy to solve.
On top of those features, Rusty Lake has introduced a short film as well within the boundaries of the game. This short film complements the game itself by providing the players with clues that are difficult to find if they are searched manually.
Apart from that, from a stand-alone point of view, the short film is interesting, as it provides an entertaining experience all on its own.
Paradox, despite being a mystery escape game, does not feature any sort of violence. From the beginning till the end, the game is a combination of searching for clues and solving puzzles. It features no combat, no apparent enemies, and no action at all. The game features 6 chapters, each consisting of a similar environment but with a greater difficulty level in terms of the puzzles and clues.
The game’s mechanics and dynamics are very similar to another escape mystery game called Alone in the Cosmos. Both the games are quite similar in terms of the graphics used and the gameplay experience offered.
Similar goals are attached with the main aim to escape from a particular place by solving puzzles in around the map.
