Why we like it

A rare novelty entry in the Superhive library — a game built entirely within a native Blender add-on, with the developer offering personalized haunt asset bundles on request.

What is Default Cube: The Game?

Default Cube: The Game is a native add-on for Blender built around a simple premise: delete the default cube for good, and it comes back to haunt you. As you keep working, the session changes. The cube may "speak beyond the grave," images may pop up, loud sounds may play, and the user interface itself may behave differently. There are 12 kinds of haunted events in total, with a full list on the product documentation page.

The add-on is non-destructive by design. The only thing it saves to your file is which object was initially the default cube, if it still exists. Haunts clean up after themselves so nothing is permanently changed, and each haunt lasts less than thirty seconds. Auto-save is paused during haunts in case something crashes.

Aimed at content creators and livestreamers, the game lets viewers guess what the cube will do next. You can adjust the delay between haunts, customize the haunts themselves, and import or export haunt assets to share your own scares or jokes with other creators. Start and end the game anytime.

Frequently asked questions

Does Default Cube: The Game change my Blender file permanently?

Default Cube: The Game is non-destructive by design. The only thing it saves to your file is which object was initially the default cube, if it still exists. Otherwise nothing else is saved. The haunts clean up after themselves so nothing is permanently changed. Auto-save is paused during haunts, which each last less than thirty seconds, in the odd case that something crashes. You can start and end the game anytime, and it ends automatically when a new file is opened or the win condition is met.

Can I customize the haunts in Default Cube: The Game?

Default Cube: The Game lets you adjust the delay between haunts and customize the haunts themselves, so they can be tailored to your audience. You can also import and export haunt assets, which lets you share your own scares or jokes with other creators. There are 12 kinds of haunted events included, and a full list is available on the product documentation page. The developer also notes you can contact them through Superhive for a personalized bundle of haunt assets.

Will Default Cube: The Game conflict with my other Blender add-ons?

Default Cube: The Game automatically waits for modal operations to finish to prevent concurrency issues. If you want other add-ons to run continuously in the background, you can turn that safety off. The developer notes they do what they can preventatively but are not responsible for how other add-ons affect the game. To start, you enable the add-on and press play, then start or end the game whenever you like during your session.

Is Default Cube: The Game free?

Default Cube: The Game is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any purchase details, check the developer's page.
