MiniJam 188 - The Box

Awakened in a silent, dimly lit room, you find only one object before you — a mysterious sealed box. You don’t know who you are or why you’re here, but something tells you the answers lie inside.

The Box is a short narrative puzzle game where the entire world fits within a single cube. Rotate, slide, and unlock its faces to uncover hidden mechanisms and long-forgotten clues. Piece by piece, you’ll discover the purpose of the box… and your place in its story.

Built as a prototype to test and validate the Tiny game engine.

🔑 Controls: Use arrow keys to rotate the box. Use the mouse to interact with the cube.

🛠 Engine: Made with Tiny — a minimal custom game engine.

🧪 Purpose: A prototype to ensure the engine’s core systems function correctly.

📦 “The room was still, and the air felt like it hadn’t moved in 3 days.

The surface of the box was engraved — rough and worn from time, yet precisely 7 cuts formed a pattern.

Inside, a final drawer slid open with a faint click, revealing a small slip of paper marked 2 initials…”

🧩 One room. One box. One mystery.

Everything you need is right in front of you — if you can unlock it.

🔍 Note: The code to open the safe is hidden somewhere in the description.
