You wake at the centre of a six-by-six-by-six lattice of stone rooms โ the Cube. Each room has up to three exits. The maze is solvable, but it only reveals itself as you walk it. Somewhere in the outer wall are gates to the open air. Reach one and step through to win. Drop to 0 health and the Cube keeps you.
