The Cube Hotel（Ning's Wing 2） (2016)

In some ways this game is as good as its predecessor, The Rosefinch Curse, both storywise and graphicswise. However, it fails miserably where it counts, in the puzzles. Some of the puzzles are incredibly obscure and either only make sense in the developer's mind or requires leaps of faith to solve them, as the game provides no hints for some puzzles being solvable in more than one way, or how to solve some of them. Furthermore, the developer has opted to making the game potentially impossible to finish by laying in puzzles that can't be solved if you wait too long with them, as the game removes access to some crucial hints and ways of solving some puzzles the further you get towards one particular ending. Thus you can end up having wasted hours on the game, without even knowing that you've made it impossible for yourself to get the ending, as the game does not make any effort of telling the player this. Because of these bad decisions on the developer's part, this game can NOT be recommended for purchase despite its low price, and it would get 1 out of 5 stars, if possible.

The Cube Hotel (Ning's Wing 2) is a compact yet conceptually ambitious indie puzzle adventure that blends escape-room design with surreal storytelling and multiple narrative outcomes. Developed and published by T34 Studio, the game places a strong emphasis on atmosphere, logic puzzles, and gradual psychological unease rather than action or spectacle. From the outset, it presents itself as a mystery meant to be unraveled through patience and observation, inviting players into a strange, geometric hotel that feels deliberately disconnected from normal reality. The story follows Dana Ni, a pop singer who arrives at the Cube Hotel for what should be a relaxing trip with her close friend Seven. That expectation collapses when Dana awakens alone in Room 301 and discovers that Seven has vanished without explanation. The hotel itself quickly becomes the central antagonist: a rigid, cube-like structure filled with locked doors, hidden mechanisms, and rooms that seem to defy logic. Narrative details are revealed gradually through exploration, environmental clues, and fragments of dialogue, creating a sense of creeping dread rather than overt horror. The game avoids heavy exposition, instead…
