Square Enix Reveals Chocolate Dimension in Quantum Conundrum

Square Enix Inc. the publisher of SquarE Enix interactive entertainment products in the Americas, and developer Airtight Games today revealed that they’ve been able to fold another dimension into the first person environmental puzzle game Quantum Conundrum. This time, however, instead of harnessing the laws of physics, the new dimension will manipulate the fundamental laws of chemistry.

In chocolate dimension, players will have new options available as they work their way through Quadwrangle Manor:

· Devour your way through obstacles!

· Melt-down and re-solidify objects!

· Stick to the floor, the walls, & the ceiling!

· Discover all-new (chocolate) Easter eggs!

“People are probably wondering, ‘Chocolate dimension? What’s that all about?’,” said Kim Swift, creative director at Airtight Games. “Chocolate is fun! Chocolate has all sorts of amazing properties! Who doesn’t love chocolate? And besides that, it looks a lot more appetizing than hummus dimension.”

Players will get their first taste of chocolate dimension when the game launches later this summer.
