Date: ██/██/2016

Place: Area 52

Description: It's a rare occasion to see someone make it back from inside The Cube. The most well-known case is the 'Incident 1172-a'. A video recording attached to the incident report shows the portal open at 04:56:06 and spit out a man. Rising to his knees, this frail gray-haired man, dry like a mummy, and dressed in rags, broke the silence of the night with a drawn-out cry. Later it was ascertained that this man was a photographer from the ill-fated expedition that had discovered The Cube seven years ago. The man was completely deranged.

MechCube: Escape is the next entry in the popular Mechanical Box series of puzzle games. Your character finds himself inside a mysterious structure simply named 'The Cube' for its shape. The place has many rooms. There's a control panel in the center of each room — a puzzle contraption, and if you can solve the puzzle, you will unlock passages to more rooms.

Each control panel is a unique enigma consisting of various ciphers, logic puzzles, attentiveness tests, puzzles to test your ability to correlate information, and the ability to think outside of the box.

Your character moves from one room to another and discovers all the puzzles in this manner. By exploring The Cube, the character will fall into deadly traps, and you will unlock colorful comic-book-style endings. The overall goal of the game is to find all the endings (most of which are secret) and collect all the hidden artifacts — various references to modern pop culture.
