Hey peoples, so I started playing through the Rusty Lake games (specifically the Cube Escape games so far) a while ago, but now I'd like to go all out and check one of these short games out every other day.

If you're wondering what these games are, they're room escape games with a really dark twist. They all connect in some way, but I'm playing them blind so I couldn't really specify too much.

Here's the playlist:


Here are the 3 episodes that went up sporadically previously. I'll keep the original descriptions in tact just for the sake of simplicity. See you soon!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 1 - Cube Escape: Seasons



Hey there folks! Today we're kicking off a new let's play that'll have sporadic uploads in between other series' episodes. It will all be blind except for this episode :).

Rusty Lake is the developer and what a collection of room escape games are known as. This episode is actually the first game in the series: Seasons (which in itself is a mini-series within the Rusty Lake umbrella: Cube Escape). Either way, the full first game is here. Hope you enjoy!

This series is all available on PC and mobile. This is the Steam version.

Thanks for watching! I'm pretty excited for what's to come from this David Firth-ish series of games! I always did love this stuff back in the Flash days :).

Anyways! See you in a bit! :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 2 - Cube Escape: The Lake


Ok, so I loved Seasons, but as far as I can tell, it had nothing to do with Rusty Lake in general? I guess I haven't played enough of them yet to say that for certain though.

The point is, this one is all based by the lake. It's 2 for 2 so far on likeability!

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Episode 3 - Cube Escape: Arles


Hey there folks, onto the 3rd Cube Escape today! Arles is a room escape based entirely on the concept of art! I found this the toughest game of the series so far.

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 4 - Cube Escape: Harvey's Box


Hey there folks, here's a quirky little game, in a series of quirky little games. Can we escape this box? Are we even alive in there? Who knows!

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 5 - Cube Escape: Case 23


Hey peoples, I'm loving this game purely for how it's starting to tie up the mysteries of the previous games in the series. It's introduced us to a new character who gets dragged into the whole mess. Detectives have a hard life huh?

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 6 - Cube Escape: The Mill


Hey there folks! So last episode we saw that a mill was a part of the whole Rusty Lake scenario. Now we get to see exactly what went down there! Sort of. Mysteriously. I'm still clueless. More to come though!

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)

P.S. Granny is a real treat. I'm surprised we didn't have to make false teeth for her lmao.
 
Episode 7 - Cube Escape: Birthday


Hey there folks, here's my thematically favourite cube escape game so far! I love the grampa, the singing, the...concept that I won't spoil. This one is fantastic :). It really feels like they've found their stride.

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)

P.S. You get dancing, grampa. The music is all for you!
 
Episode 8 - Cube Escape: Theatre


Hey peoples, today we're going to the theatre! Of the mind! I love the idea and environment for this one. Can't beat a good show.

-----------------------------------------------

Episode 9 - Cube Escape: The Cave



Hey there folks, today we wrap up the cube escape collection! Don't get me wrong, there are more cube escape games, but they aren't a part of this collection. Who knows if that'll make a difference.The Cave is a whopper! Full to the brim with puzzles and gimmicks. I didn't think I'd like a cave environment (they're normally dark and dingy) but this does things differently, as with everything else in the franchise.

Thanks for watching! See you next time when we move away from the cubes a bit :).
 
Episode 10 - Rusty Lake Hotel Part 1/3


Hey peoples, we're moving onto a new Rusty Lake game today! The hotel has attracted a lot of famous guests; maybe they should have gone elsewhere though?

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 11 - Rusty Lake Hotel Part 2/3


Hey there folks! Let's carry on visiting the guests shall we? They love the attention ;).

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 12 - Rusty Lake Hotel Part 3/3


Hey peoples, let's wrap up the hotel!

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit for the start of the next game in the series! :)

-------------------------------------------------

Episode 13 - Rusty Lake Roots Part 1/7



Hey there folks! Today we're starting Rusty Lake Roots! I've finished recording all of this game and can easily say it's the most interesting of the lot so far. A lot of exploration into the family we've been hearing about here and there.

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 14 - Rusty Lake Roots Part 2/7


Hey peoples, more family members to check out, along with checking out their interests. I really love how they organised all of this.

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 15 - Rusty Lake Roots Part 3/7


Hey peoples, today we meet Samuel all grown up. They're all a wee bit odd; I think Samuel seems the most normal though? How can he deal with the family?

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 16 - Rusty Lake Roots Part 4/7


Hey there folks! So last time we started delving into Albert's character a wee bit and saw that he's stark-raving mad. Let's see how that takes him!

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 17 - Rusty Lake Roots Part 5/7


Hey folks, today we're checking in on the son of Emma, who was killed by being dropped down the well previously! This is probably the most tragic tale of the whole game...

-----------------------------------------------------------

Episode 18 - Rusty Lake Roots Part 6/7



Hey there folks! So Samual and Ida had a son called Leonard. Let's check in on him, shall we? See if we can get timepiece #2.

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 19 - Rusty Lake Roots Part 7/7


Hey peoples, we're wrapping up Roots today, starting with a look at Rose the test-tube baby! Plenty of other stuff going on too once we find that 3rd and final timepiece!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Episode 20 - Rusty Lake Paradise Part 1/5



Hey there folks, let's head into Paradise! Rusty Lake style!The island is inhabited by a new family, so many years before the other Rusty Lake games. Get ready for a wild ride, because this is going to be just as nutty as we'd expect ;).

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 21 - Rusty Lake Paradise Part 2/5


Hey peoples, it turns out that this game is split into the 10 infamous plagues. Never has diseased livestock been such fun!

---------------------------------------------------------

Episode 22 - Rusty Lake Paradise Part 3/5



Boils and snow! This can get a little bit disgusting; I love it!

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
 
Episode 23 - Rusty Lake Paradise Part 4/5


Hey folks, this episode includes a rather...folksy song by some of the family! What can beat a good musical number?

The puzzles are certainly getting tougher towards the end of the game, as you'd expect.

-------------------------------------------------------

Episode 24 - Rusty Lake Paradise Part 5/5



Hey peoples, today we end our time in Paradise! As we all know by now, this can only end badly...but in what way this time?

-------------------------------------------------------

Episode 25 - Cube Escape Paradox Part 1/5



Hey there folks, onto the next entry of the Rusty Lake franchise! I feel like the less I say here the better since there's a lot of mystery involved. There's even a mini movie to be watched (imo after you beat the game).

-------------------------------------------------------

Episode 26 - Cube Escape Paradox Part 2/5



Hey peoples, let's keep going! The most notable part of this episode is going inside our detective's brain for such a unique perspective...

Thanks for watching! :)
 
Episode 27 - Cube Escape Paradox Part 3/5


Hey peoples, today we finish off chapter 1 and make a start on chapter 2! Interesting formatting game devs. I approve.

Thanks for watching! See you in a bit! :)
