    While there's something a bit disappointing about yet another entry to the Cthulhu mythos that doesn't quite manage to translate its best features into the video game medium, there are hints and moments of other smaller Eldritch creatures that keep things interesting. In particular, the way The Alien Cube ultimately handles its final moments is incredibly satisfying with its visuals. The story may not stick the landing for some, but the overall experience is dark, engaging, beautiful, and disgusting. The Alien Cube is a love letter to the genre and is a strong choice for the fans who are on the hunt for a non-literary medium that manages to get Lovecraft mostly right.

There's many dangerous parts where you can die, few puzzles here and there, and a pretty interesting story overall. The graphics are way above average and that's even more impressive given the fact only one person worked on it. Overall pretty great experience, very atmospheric and engaging, but don't expect a survival horror or something with more complex mechanics. Full Review »
