Well it took a while, but that tiny experiment known as the “Indie Fund” is finally about to show off its goods in the form of its very first funded release: Q.U.B.E. by Toxic Games, a game we’ve spoken about plenty of times here and even offered a preview of it in October.

Here’s a quick description of the puzzle FPS is case you haven’t heard:

Set in a mysterious and abstract sterile environment, Q.U.B.E. (Quick Understanding of Block Extrusion) is a first-person puzzle game that challenges players to navigate each level by manipulating coloured cubes that surround them. There’s little to go on as the game begins – the player is dropped into an all-white room with few instructions, and simply has to figure their way out. The tone of game changes as the player finds small and big alterations to their environment, supported by an original score, inviting each player to let their imagination take over as to where they might be. Through experimentation and discovery, players will progress through an ever-evolving series of cube puzzles that will challenge them with logic, physics, platforming.

Anyway, we’ll have more on the actual game when it’s released. The big news here is all about Indie Fund and the fruition of a project which has seemingly taken forever to finally flourish.

Of course, there’s no way to tell if it’s going to be successful or not so it’ll be interesting to see how everything plays out. Still, if Q.U.B.E. does work out and the Indie Fund is able to be financially successful that could only mean good things for the indie game scene as a whole.

We’ll have more on Q.U.B.E.’s launch in a couple weeks. Until then, enjoy the trailer below.
