About Cube Escape: Paradox
Cube Escape: Paradox is the tenth game in Rusty Lake's strange and unsettling Cube Escape series of point-and-click escape puzzles. Detective Dale Vandermeer wakes up trapped and must work his way out, while the story crosses between two different realities. It was made alongside a short live-action film, Paradox: A Rusty Lake Film. It is a single-player puzzle game and is free to download. It needs very little from a computer, so any of our gaming PCs handles it easily.
What Cube Escape: Paradox needs
In plain words: to play at all it needs almost any graphics, even the graphics built into the processor, with at least 1GB of memory.

Will my computer play Cube Escape: Paradox?
On most computers we find the graphics card for you. Add your processor and memory, and we will tell you if it plays, and what to upgrade if not.
A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?
This is a light game: almost any of our gaming PCs will run it comfortably.
On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.
On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.
