Atmospheric puzzle adventure The Last Cube launches March 10th on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch

Solve 3D brain-teasers across an array of otherworldly landscapes

Espoo, Finland – February 17th, 2022 – Improx Games’ brain-teasing puzzle adventure game The Last Cube is now slated for a March 10th release on PC, Switch, Xbox and PlayStation consoles. Set in a series of surreal otherworldly landscapes, it’s up to you to discover the history of this uncanny alien civilization.

The Last Cube is a richly atmospheric puzzle game about guiding a cube through a plethora of mystifying, monolithic chambers as you uncover the story behind this peculiar world. Explore a wide array of brutalist architecture ranging from foggy nightmarish abysses, to oppressive lava lit factories, to uplifting natural landscapes full of golden rays of sunshine glistening against mountains. Coupled with an epic soundtrack that thoroughly enriches the ominous vibe, and an abstract story of a dying world on the cusp of ruin, The Last Cube is a moody, mysterious puzzler that fully immerses you in its derelict world.

The Last Cube features a unique sticker system, allowing you to stamp certain abilities onto your cube’s sides, granting all new abilities for that surface. Some will allow you to dash through barriers, others will create makeshift stairs, and some grant the ability to spin in place for easy maneuvering in tight places. Positioning your cube to acquire the desired stickers on the correct surface can range from pleasingly simplistic, to masochistic head scratchers as you scramble through The Last Cube’s 100+ puzzles. New mechanics are introduced at a breezy clip, rapidly expanding one’s perception of what your cube is capable of.

Clamouring through each chamber offers a sturdy challenge, though only the most dedicated players will uncover all of The Last Cube’s bevy of collectibles and bonus stages littered throughout the adventure. Do you have what it takes to solve the puzzle tracks left by your ancestors and save this peculiar world from collapsing?

The Last Cube has come a long way since its inception in 2017 and has grown into a far more ambitious project than we ever could have imagined,” said Max Samarin, creative director at Improx Games. “The final result is a rich puzzle experience whose gameplay is full of joyful aha-moments and surprises, set in very diverse, colorful, eerie and mysterious environments of the Cube Planet. We think casual and hardcore puzzle fans alike will be enamoured by its gradually evolving mechanics and wealth of secrets when The Last Cube launches on March 10th.”

Video Gameplay Preview. This gameplay preview will run through 30 minutes of the game and does not contain any major spoilers.

Join us as we explore the ruins of a sunken city and solve puzzles to uncover its secrets. Relaxation is at the heart of the game, from the soothing sounds of the ocean and calming sun rises to the rich, stunning environments. But there’s darkness even in the bright tranquillity. Submerged: Hidden Depths is a combat-free game, and that feature (or lack thereof) makes it an excellent escape from the stresses of life.

Boat, climb, interact and explore in the beautiful ruins of a sunken world. A drowned city, crumbling tips of skyscrapers stubbornly standing above the waves. Deserted villages, now inhabited by enigmatic creatures. And beneath the surging ocean waits an anguished, angry presence.

Submerged: Hidden Depths is a non-combat third-person “relaxploration” adventure, set in the sunken ruins of a beautiful world. Take on the role of Miku and Taku – one cursed with a mysterious power that she wants to use for good, the other determined not to let it tear them apart.

ROGUE-LITE RPG THE HAND OF MERLIN UPDATE 6 BRINGS VISUAL EFFECTS OVERHAUL AND NEW QUESTLINES

Update 6 ‘Whispers of Doom’ 

Denver, CO – Feb 17th, 2021 – Independent developer Room C Games in co-production with Croteam and in partnership with indie publisher Versus Evil today announced the latest major content update for its rogue-lite RPG game TheHand of Merlin as it further aligns itself for its forthcoming 1.0 launch.

Update 6, titled ‘Whispers of Doom’ introduces a complete overhaul of the games VFX for the games hero and enemy classes. Core to the VFX upgrades was the ability for the game to show the sci-fi orientation of the game more clearly. Cosmetically, the visual overhaul now better represents the distinctions of character skills such as the Mystic, who creates effects through knowledge rather than magic like a traditional wizard or mage would.

Also added in this latest update are legendary questline encounters which may reward relics of legendary power, as well as a new Guardian Core from Siglorel. The “Corrupted core” is awarded to players once they defeat the doomed world scenario, beating back the corruption in Jerusalem in Hard Mode with all Curses activated. This features 9 new and unique spells.

Alongside a whole host of bug fixes and performance enhancements, the ‘Whispers of Doom’ update now splits easy mode into two options, easy story and easy roguelike. Easy story mode presents the easiest option for players looking for a more narrative led experience with very little challenge. Easy roguelike on the other hand presents a good starting point for newcomers to tactical or roguelike games but who still want to be challenged.

Additionally,the option to create a randomized party when starting a new game run based on the heroes a player has already unlocked has also been integrated in this update, this also automatically picks Prowess unlocks if available.

Last but not least, 3 new achievements have also been added, Can’t Run Forever (unlocking Atlantes’ Core), Faevoured (unlocking Oberon’s Core), and Legendary (obtaining a legendary relic through a questline).

“Our early access journey with The Hand of Merlin is now complete as we look to align our full version 1.0 launch. Being able to harness valuable community feedback has been immeasurable to us, and has helped us deliver six updates that have enhanced balance, challenge, meta progression and skill sets, not to mention lots of exciting new game content added as well,” Said Robert Sajko, Creative Director at Room C Games.

The Hand of Merlin is a story inspired by Arthurian legend but with an unusual twist that introduces a wholly unique sci-fi element to its storytelling which creates a unique narrative driven adventure for RPG fans looking for a challenge.
