The Escape Artist
A downloadable game for Windows
Your estranged father, a theme park engineer riddled with lawsuits dubbed "the Escape Artist", has died.
You inherit his decrepit shack in the middle of the woods.
The shack, and the objects within it, distort reality and break the laws of physics.
A game made in collaboration between the University of California, Irvine and the Laguna College of Art & Design, The Escape Artist is a single-player surreal puzzle game developed in Unity. Inspired by mind-bending games such as Superliminal and The Stanley Parable, alongside narrative-centric exploration games like What Remains of Edith Finch, The Escape Artist delves further and further into your father's once shining past, before it all came crashing down.

how the heck are the sides of the Rubik's Cube supposed to be rotated? everything I've tried has resulted only in either the whole cube rotating or bupkis.
Edit: (I'd like it if the cubes could be solved manually instead of having to rely on some cheap automation one may not notice at first)
