What players say
THE ALIEN CUBE Sequel to the interesting "THE LAND OF PAIN" and again, developed by Alessandro Guzzo, this game is more to my liking and the mysterious adventure was better made as well. The Lovecraftian story was quite good and it do follows the first game loosely but has many connections to it. The mystery of exploration as the story unfolds is what this game is all about. What the hell is going on? Who are you...

This game is the second horrorgame i've ever played (after the land of pain). And it was amazing. I would recommend it definitly to every horrorfan out there
This had to be the slowest paced game I have ever played. Boring AF. I like a good walking simulator/puzzle game, but this was the pits. After an hour of walking around, I finally gave up out of boredom. Very few things to actually interact with, most of them locked or inactive. There's tension and suspense, this was frustrating and very linear.
