When you accept a seemingly straightforward cleaning job in Cubicle, you quickly discover that the task is anything but ordinary. As you step into the small office you’re assigned to tidy, it becomes apparent that there’s more lurking within these walls than just scattered papers and office supplies. As the minutes tick by in this short, engaging game, the seemingly simple space transforms into a puzzling environment filled with odd occurrences and hidden secrets. Each session, lasting just 10-15 minutes, plunges you deeper into an interactive mystery that is far from the routine job you expected.
Cubicle equips you with intuitive controls that are easy to grasp but challenging to master in the context of the game’s unfolding mysteries. You navigate the space using WASD, with the ability to look around using your mouse, interacting with the environment through clicks or pressing ‘E’. Critical to your exploration are the tools at your disposal: a flashlight to reveal obscured secrets, a quick sprint function for when the situation turns dire, and the capability to drop items that might hold significance. With these interactions, the game weaves a narrative that changes based on your decisions, leading to one of five distinct endings.
