It is a party horror game where up to six players survive 10 days in a facility full of trials. It supports single-player and online co-op. Trials are random and include puzzles, traps, and monster chases. Twenty-five trial types exist, with more planned. Players can also trip up allies, since final evaluation counts deaths.","whyItMatters":"C.U.B.E enters Early Access with a death-count scoring system that rewards both cooperation and sabotage, a design choice that sets the tone for its planned six-to-twelve-month update period.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eLovDEV\u0026#39;s party horror game C.U.B.E is now in Early Access on Steam. Teams of up to six players aim to survive 10 days inside a facility where trials are selected at random each time. The trial types span puzzle-focused stages, trap-filled gauntlets, and monster chase sequences.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe game already contains 25 trial types, and LovDEV plans to add more. Survival depends on teamwork, but the scoring system counts total deaths after 10 days, so obstructing allies is a legitimate strategy. Early Access is planned to last roughly 6 to 12 months, with updates expected to introduce new stages, enemies, and unlockable elements. The game is priced at 790 yen, with a 20% discount running until September 5th.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"C.U.B.E's final evaluation counts deaths, so the co-op horror is also a contest.
