The Cub v1.0.0

The Cub is a challenging platform-parkour adventure that channels the spirit of classic 90s Sega gems—think The Jungle Book, Aladdin and The Lion King—but with fresh, modern twists. You guide a young survivor through crumbling cityscapes and overgrown wildlands, leaping across rooftops, vaulting over obstacles and solving environmental puzzles that demand quick reflexes and clever thinking. At every turn, evolved wildlife and dangerous hybrid flora test your agility, while relentless human pursuers on an apocalyptic safari hunt keep the tension high.

Behind the chase lies a haunting tale. After a catastrophic ecological collapse, Earth’s ultrarich escaped to Mars, abandoning the rest of humanity. One small child, immune to the planet’s hostility, was inadvertently left behind. Decades later, Martian scouts return and discover this “Cub.” Their bid to recapture you sparks a desperate journey through the remains of human civilization—a cat-and-mouse odyssey of escape, exploration and discovery.

Each new level tells its own story of humanity’s downfall. Wander through crumbling brutalist towers, deserted genetics labs, depleted chemical mines and overrun battlefields. Environmental storytelling is woven into every ruin: scraps of journal entries, scattered data logs and fragments of broadcast recordings invite you to piece together how, and why, the world fell apart.

Accompanying your flight is Radio Nostalgia From Mars, a custom soundtrack that blends apocalyptic-wave tunes with thought-provoking survivor anecdotes from the Martian elite. A smooth-voiced DJ threads the segments together, creating an immersive audio backdrop that keeps you moving while reflecting on the far-reaching consequences of ecological disaster.

Visually, The Cub is a love letter to late-90s animated classics—Atlantis, Tarzan, Road to El Dorado—and even draws inspiration from Genndy Tartakovsky’s stripped-down, visceral style in Primal. Every frame is meticulously hand-drawn and stylized to evoke that golden era of animation while delivering a fresh, gritty edge. Ready to embark on this thrilling platforming saga? The Cub is available now and can be downloaded to begin your journey.
