Point and click games used to be all the craze until around the 2010s. Now, they're usually relegated to mid size productions or simple indie titles. The genre also proved incredibly popular among flash game creators, due to the relatively simple planning and programming that goes into such a game. Some creators decided to take the genre even further with some artistic exploration. Cube Escape is one of those series. Let's look at Cube Escape: Birthday.

To play Cube Escape: Birthday, just run the file with whatever SWF player you have on hand.

A quick warning - the Cube Escape series may contain content some might find disturbing. The story has an incredibly complex, non-linear storyline with surreal themes that will suck you in if you pay attention. There are themes of death, loss, existential crises, and more.

This entry starts off innocuous before rapidly turning into the entry with the most eldritch horror in the series by far. This game looks fantastic and has a unique effect whenever you change areas, giving the game's graphics more depth than other 2D games. 

This entry has voice acting, but it's unfortunately pretty flat and the various actors have a wide range of mic quality.

The gameplay, however, is pretty standard as far as escape games go. You click to interact with the environment around you and click on items to put them into your inventory. You can use those items to interact with your environment. However, this has an incredibly unique and freeform puzzle system.

If you're a fan of adventure games, you should definitely give Cube Escape: Birthday a close look. It's one of the most unique online room escape series of all time.
