Explore a forgotten world full of wonder, life, and death | Gameplay - The Cub
728 View2023-12-21The Cub is a story-rich puzzle-platformer game set in a post-apocalyptic Earth. The game follows the journey of a small immune child known as "The Cub," who becomes the target of the ultrarich humans returning from Mars after the Great Ecological Catastrophe.
The gameplay involves challenging platform parkour, environmental puzzles, and a twisted apocalyptic safari hunt. The roughly 20-minute demo showcases excellent atmospheric presentation, immersive world-building, and nostalgic platformer gameplay inspired by classic cartoons and games of the 90s.
The demo is simply fire, playing through the roughly 20-minute experience, it hits all the right notes for me. From its atmospheric presentation and immersive world-building to the nostalgic platformer, It checks all the boxes for what I find interesting. The art style is superb. The world-building is immersive, blending my fascination with space exploration with the intriguing angle of humans as a spacefaring species facing ecological disaster.

This gorgeous postapocalyptic platformer is 2024’s first must-play indie game
SHOULD I PLAY THE CUB?
Hey, did you read that headline? Yes, play it! I already knew that I loved this game when I played the demo a month ago, but now that I’ve completed the full launch version of The Cub, I can happily report that it is an incredible experience. Everyone should check this out unless they hate platformers or don’t want to be reminded that we’re slowly but surely killing the planet.

The Cub is Limbo meets Donkey Kong Country Returns, and it might be 2024’s first must-play indie
SHOULD I PLAY THE CUB?
Hell yes, especially since there’s a free demo available now. The Cub is an action-packed 2D platformer set on a postapocalyptic Earth that looks set to be one of the first indie hits of 2024. While the full game won’t be available until January 19, 2024, you can play the demo for free now, and it’s already very impressive. The game’s gorgeous visuals and challenging gameplay were definitely enough to sell me, and I can’t wait to check out the full version.
