What Cube Escape: Paradox is and who it suits
Cube Escape: Paradox is the tenth episode of the Cube Escape series of puzzle games from Rusty Lake. The developer presents it as a continuation of the wider Rusty Lake story, with its mysteries revealed gradually over time. Google Play rates it 12+.
The setting is a room the player shares with Dale Vandermeer, a detective who wakes there without memory of his past. The game is aimed at people who know the series, and the developer describes it as having the puzzle density fans would expect from the tenth entry.
Solving puzzles to escape the room
The core activity is working through puzzles that the developer says grow harder as the game goes on. Each solved puzzle moves Dale closer to getting out of the room and recovering what he has lost.
The listing describes the premise as a game someone else has set up for Dale, run by an old enemy. The puzzles are the way the story advances, so progress and the plot move together.
The Paradox short film and the crossover
The developer calls Cube Escape: Paradox a game and film crossover. It is linked to the Paradox short film by a number of connections and interactions, so watching the film and playing the game inform each other.
The listing does not say how these links are structured inside the game, only that they exist.
Free and premium chapters, multiple endings
The game is split into two chapters. One is free and the other is premium, which means part of the story is behind a paid unlock. The developer says the game has multiple endings across these chapters.
The developer says new content will be added over time and asks players to check RustyLake.com every day for updates.
Artwork, soundtrack, voices and languages
The paintings in the game were handmade by Johan Scherft, and the soundtrack is by Victor Butzelaar. The developer describes the music as immersive and atmospheric.
The voice-overs are performed by Bob Rafferty and lead actor David Bowles. The game supports 14 languages.
