01:02This is Scared by Squares by the developers ClickU Games and it hasn't had a full release just yet.
01:09The first level is free to download and play.
01:12One of the things I love about VR is its ability to make you wrong.
01:16And I'll be honest, when the guys emailed me and asked me to take a look at this game,
01:20I kind of laughed to myself and thought, there's no way this will be any good.
01:24Two weeks later, I finally installed it and gave it a go.
01:27And boy, I couldn't have been more wrong.
01:30Straight away when you load in, you will notice how great the game looks.
01:33You know how sometimes as a game loads up, you just know it's going to be good.
01:37Well, that was the first sign of maybe I was completely wrong.
01:40Then I loaded into the home base and I knew then that this actually might be something special.
01:46I love the designs of everything.
01:48The base looks great.
01:49The suit you wear looks fantastic.
01:51The menu screens look good.
01:53So you are basically playing a prisoner who's been sentenced to life.
01:57And for a chance to earn your freedom, you are being sent into this giant cube,
02:01which is a digital prison made up of cubes that hold a shape-shifting entity that cannot be killed.
02:07There are no other shapes in this prison, so the entity cannot mimic them.
02:11But now the prison is collapsing and the shape entity is corrupting the squares,
02:15turning them into triangles and circles.
02:18And if it forms too many, the cube will collapse and the entity will regain its power to create havoc on the world again.
02:24So right now, you can download the demo for free and play the entire first level, which is named Floor 1.
02:30Then when it's released to early access, there will be a further two levels,
02:34Floor 2, Part 1, and Floor 2, Part 2.
02:36As far as size goes, it's quite big and is absolutely beautifully designed.
02:41Now I will warn you, this game does have jump scares.
02:44So if you scare easily, this might not be for you.
02:47The soundtrack does an excellent job in creating a great and creepy atmosphere.
02:52The first level took me around 30 minutes to complete,
02:55not including the first 10 minutes I spent trying to solve the first puzzle.
02:59Inside the cube, they use the light and dark just perfectly.
03:02And you also have a torch on your right arm that you can look around with.
03:05You're going to face drops, cubes that follow you, cubes that fall away beneath your feet,
03:11gaps that you will need to jump on a series of cubes to cross,
03:14cubes that make up long lines and spin around that you have to avoid,
03:18cubes that travel from left to right and vice versa to knock you.
03:21And then there are a few puzzles thrown in for good measure.
03:24I honestly can't believe how well this game works and the atmosphere it's created.
03:29Something that won't carry well on a 2D screen.
03:32You really need to see it in VR.
03:34So go get it now.
03:35It's free to download.
03:36Then let me know your thoughts on it down below.
03:38I never encountered any bugs or crashing.
03:41The game worked perfectly.
03:42The controls are very simple to learn.
03:45Just basically walking, use your pointer on your right arm, your torch and then jump.
03:50There doesn't seem to be any game menus currently, unless I missed them.
03:53But I don't think I did.
03:55So what's coming in the future in this game?
03:57Well, they have mentioned a multiplayer co-op mode
04:00and that they will be adding more flaws and surprises on each of them.
04:03Then it looks like there will be choices of your suits and then a hunt mode.
04:07I don't actually care too much for the multiplayer aspect of it.
04:10A game always needs a strong campaign mode before anything else.
04:14And this first level is a very strong start.
04:17So some things I'd like to see added are
04:19obviously way more levels.
04:21Maybe a giant maze level.
04:23And did you ever see those films called The Cube?
04:26Well, maybe a floor dedicated to games like that would be really cool.
04:29If you haven't seen the films, then go check them out.
04:31Also, maybe a hide and seek type floor.
04:34But to be honest, I think these guys have it covered.
04:37Anyway, if you made it to the end of this video,
04:39I thank you for giving me your time.
04:41So now, touch that like button and hit subscribe.
04:44Thanks and happy gaming, guys.
05:07We'll see you next time.
