By : Christine Love

ALSO also Q.U.B.E. if you haven't touched it.

:buyme:Q.U.B.E.

By:Toxic Games? Dudes had wicked accents.

Available: http://qube-game.com/ Steam, Desura, the usual suspects.

Synopsis: You're in a sort of lab and you get out of it. Not a lot of story that I caught along the way. From the breathing, I presume the character is a man. It feels very Portal-like, challenging puzzles and clever gameplay (mild bugginess that comes from being Just So Indie) but it rocks the puzzley part of my brain. Been sitting at Sector 7 for a few months now but it's an icon I wistfully glance at from time to time, wanting to finish.
