A casual adventure puzzle game about cube-shaped robots

Cubot The Origins is a casual adventure game where the player takes control of a cube-shaped robot in a low poly-styled world and must guide them past a series of obstacles. The game features a minimalist art style and is played from an almost isometric perspective.

The art style of this game can be compared to that of Unpacking. The gameplay style is a 3D platformer with a strong puzzle component. The aim of the game is for the player to control a cube in their role leading the “blessed cube” to the goal.

Lead the blessed cube

The primary goal of the player in Cubot the Origins is to get the blessed cube to the goal at the end of each level. To do so, they will have to pass many obstacles and solve a range of puzzles. The player will control the cube from an almost isometric perspective, affording them a view of the low-poly world around them.

Evolving levels and atmospheric environments

The game presents the player with a range of environments to work their way through, as well as ever-changing levels as the game progresses. The thematic style is a mix of classic retro-styled levels and futuristic elements, giving the impression of a once-technological world now returning to nature.

Addictive but short

Cubot the Origins is an undoubtedly addictive game, and the visuals and background music blend nicely to create an atmospheric experience. One problem the game seems to have — according to some of its players — is that it is too short, leaving players who have come to enjoy the puzzles and aesthetics wanting more content.
