The Cube *Pre-Release-Version*
----------------------------------------------------
A game by HT Software.


How to Play:
The most important hint I can give you is this one:
Play this game by using headphones, turn the volume up.
Play it in a totally dark room without being distracted by any
other thing. You have to calculate a lot to find a safe way
out the cube. This game was meant to live from its own
atmosphere, so you should really play it like mentioned
above to get the right mood.


Controls:
You only need the mouse to play this game. All you have to do
is clicking on one of the four doorways in each room to enter the
next room. Your character will automatically walk to this door,
open it and enter the next room.

Goal of the game:
As this game has been released without being totally finished,
the only goal to achieve is finding the way out of the Cube.
Each room holds a display showing a numerical code. There is
a certain way how to read this code. Find out how and you are
always aware if the room you want to enter is safe or if its a
trap.

Hints:
As the in-game help tells you, there are two important numbers
of which you should be aware. The "23" means DEATH and the
6 might lead you to the exit. Dont think any 23 on the display
means death, you have to figure out how to read the code and
if the result is a 23 you can be pretty sure to walk right into the
next trap.
In certain rooms, you can hear the wind blowing. This means
you have reached the hull of the cube. You might use this
information to figure out approx. where you are right now.
If you try to enter a doorway which is at the cubes hull but does
not lead to the exit, all rooms will move to a new place. That
means you will be at a random new place somewhere in the cube
and more or less have to start again figuring out where you are.
If you enter a room which is a trap your game is over. Youll get
killed and find yourself back at the main menu.
Really try to find out how you have to use the numerical code. It
needs a little calculation. Dont think the code displayed is already
a hint. You have to calculate with the numbers shown there to get
a result which will help you if you keep in mind that 23 means DEATH.


Additionial Information:
Another thing are the horror-visions your character will have
during the game. They might appear from time to time, and its
hard to predict when they come. Originally there were many
more visions planned to scare you but as this game is somehow
incomplete there are only a few.


As already said, HT Software released this game knowing it is
not totally finished. You can definitely finish the game and you
should not expect any bugs or incomplete areas. The only thing
missing are more trap-animations, more horror-visions and maybe
a better ending, but thats it.
HT Software decided to release the game as the work on it has been
stopped due to more interesting projects. But many people still asked
for this game so here it is. As finished as it would ever be.


Have fun.
