C.U.B.E

C.U.B.E is in Steam Early Access as of August 21, 2026, a party horror game from developer LovDEV supporting up to six players in single-player and online co-op.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Aug 28

C.U.B.E is a co-op party horror game from developer LovDEV. Up to six players must survive ten days in a facility filled with randomly selected trials, including puzzles, trap-filled stages, and monster chases. The game supports both solo play and online co-op. Twenty-five trial types are currently in the game, with more planned.

The core design twist is the death-count scoring system. Final evaluation counts player deaths, so tripping up allies can be as useful as helping them. Cooperation and sabotage are both viable strategies. This mechanic was highlighted in the announcement and carried into the Early Access launch.

C.U.B.E entered Steam Early Access on August 21, 2026, with a planned six-to-twelve-month update period. The game was also featured in Game Spark's weekly indie column as one of three Steam titles, alongside Bills Must Be Paid and Kinny and the Unnameable Oden Shop. All three are available on PC via Steam.
