Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut

Q.U.B.E. is a brain-twisting first-person puzzler. Using special high-tech gloves to manipulate cubes in the environment, the player solves an array of conundrums - from physics-based challenges; to 3D jigsaws; to platform-based trials.

The All New Story
To reboot the narrative, Toxic Games brought in industry veteran Rob Yescombe, writer on franchises including CRYSIS, ALIEN: ISOLATION, STAR WARS and PS4’s upcoming RIME; winner of Best Thriller Screenplay at the Creative World Awards, and the screenwriting Award of Excellence at the Canada International Film Festival.
“The Director’s Cut is a single-location thriller” says Yescombe, “It’s about figuring out what the Qube is, and why you’re inside it. You’re told you are an astronaut inside some kind of alien structure hurtling towards Earth, but it’s also about something deeper than that.”
Under the surface, there is a subtext about games themselves – “We are conditioned to expect death and doom. We’re resigned to it. At its heart, this story is about that state of mind and how it effects the way we view our experiences, in games and in life. The Director’s Cut will feel either heroic or unnerving, depending on your own personal trust issues.”

Reviews and ratings
Great puzzle. The truth is very short (about 4 hours are required to complete the game with solving secret puzzles). It has a relaxing soundtrack and a leisurely pace of storytelling. The plot... But here it’s more complicated. The fact is that there is no Russification in Steam, and on the Internet they said that the plot there is conveyed through speech, and subtitles are not provided initially, and therefore it is impossible to install them. but from what I understand: the main character (or the hero, nothing is visible except hands) ends up in some kind of space laboratory, she is given gloves with which she can control cubes and is forced to go through test chambers, but later we try to escape. Whether you managed to do it or not - find out for yourself
Отличная головоломка. Правда очень короткая (около 4 часа требуется на прохождение игры с решением секретных головоломок). В ней расслабляющий саундтрек и неспешный темп повествования. Сюжет... А вот тут сложнее. Дело в том что в стиме нет русификации, а в интернетах сказали что сюжет там передается посредством речи, а субтитры не предусмотрены изначально, в связи с чем невозможно их поставить. но из того что понял: Главная героиня (или герой, кроме рук ничего не видно) попадает в какую то космическую лабораторию, ей дают перчатки с помощью которых можно управлять кубами и заставляют проходить камеры испытаний, но позже мы пытаемся сбежать. Получилось это сделать или нет — узнайте сами
