Germany won WW2. Nazi scientists found a way to turn humans into cubes. As an alternative to other ... things... they were doing they pits cube-mans against each other, hunger games style.

Yeah I could go for that M rating. Shoot a cube and have bloody guts come out.

I'm gonna make two.  This one is my semi silly one.  I think I'm gonna write a more serious one tomorrow.  (at least I plan to...)


During the 22nd century, a scientist developed a program to allow people to tie themselves into a game.  
The game gained a lot of popularity, as people would fight to settle decisions.  Very quickly, governments started taking  interest in these games.  They redesigned the game so that players that would die in-game would die in real life. The first war to be fought in-game was the 2160 Peninsula War.
As more people died in the game though, the program began to change.  The cubes became alive, as if the souls of the ones who have passed, were still fighting on.  

The cubes fight to this day.  
The exact reasons why the cubes still fight, is unknown, but it is as if the ghosts don't know any different.

Here's a screenshot of the dev making it.

So the program just runs with cubes fighting even though the devs haven't setup any AI for them? that's pretty cool.

Kinda reminds me of Five Nights at Freddies where the animatronics are haunted by the children they killed.

Have the cubes be creatures that the humans use to fight themselves to the death.

The Mac was a gift. 
Source: my brother-in-law gave me a Mac as a gift.  And he gave my brother one too, which later was also given to me. 

Yes, there's no AI.

Humans destroyed the earth before they could come up with a feasible way to travel out side of our solar system. So in a last ditch effort to save man kind we record our conscious in digital form and blasted it out in space. Only to be retrieved millions of years later by an alien race where we were then loaded into the cube's and in slaved for their entertainment.

That's actually pretty neat.  Sounds somewhat similar to an indie horror game that released not too long ago.

Have the cubes be creatures that the humans use to fight themselves to the death.

And then halfway through the game the cubes revolt?
