Scared by Squares is a first-person psychological horror game built entirely from cubes. Explore unsettling liminal environments where anomalies, distorted geometry, and eerie sound turn simple spaces into sources of tension. This experiment in fear asks: can a simple cube scare you without the usual horror tropes?
This game runs in both standard and VR modes.
You have been sent into The Cube, a digital prison made of perfect squares, to investigate reports of corrupted geometry. Locate and cleanse anomalies as you uncover what is happening inside.
The horror comes from atmosphere, anticipation, uncanny events, and the feeling that the environment itself cannot be trusted.
Use your senses to navigate each room, solve environmental puzzles, survive platforming challenges, and hunt anomalies. Hidden traps and cubic enemies turn exploration into a test of focus and nerve.
Experience the entirety of Floor 1 with the free demo, available in standard (flatscreen) mode. Can you brave the unknown dangers of The Cube?
More floors, puzzles, anomalies, and features such as multiplayer are planned as development continues.
