Rusty Lake

We are Rusty Lake:

Creators of the praised Cube Escape series and the premium point-and-click adventures Rusty Lake Hotel and award-winning Rusty Lake: Roots.

Dear visitor,

Welcome to Rusty Lake, a surreal place where anything can happen. We offer you the most mysterious game series you'll ever play.

Why not try out our praised Cube Escape series first? Let the cubes guide you the eerie and atmospheric point-and-click adventures with an "escape room" feeling. Currently we have ten Cube Escape games taking place in the Rusty Lake universe. Cube Escape: Paradox is our latest installment which is combined with a short film! Download them for ten on iOS, Android or play on Desktop.

Next to our Cube Escape series we created three premium adventure games with unique story lines taking place in Rusty Lake as well. Serve deadly dinners to five animal-headed guests in Rusty Lake Hotel, expand the bloodline of the Vanderbooms in our award-winning adventure Rusty Lake: Roots or stop the ten plagues on a small island in Rusty Lake Paradise.

On the right, you can find a list of all our games sorted by release date.

On our game portal you can play our free games but also find other adventure, room escape and puzzle games. We selected games with a fascinating story, ambiance or unique game-play made by more forward-looking developers.

Check out our blog, social media or newsletter for new updates and content.

We wish you a pleasant stay in Rusty Lake!

Getting the job done

Getting the job done

Hi Guys!

It’s been awhile since the last update. Sorry for waiting so long and teasing you with gifs of the new project! Today we got the game finally working on Ipad and we’re super excited about this. It runs perfect 🙂

newproject-on-ipad

As we mentioned before, this new game is our most ambitious project so far.. and the moment that we got everything together took a bit longer than expected. The narrative is about a family tree and you can imagine it gave us the opportunity to think of a lot of (crazy) ideas. We’re talking about a 35+ (some smaller and some bigger) levels game with replay value. Our main focus now is getting the game done, so we’re testing, adding the details, achievements and fixing some puzzles.. anyway the end is in sight.

We really hope to launch the game somewhere in end of September on Android, iOS and Itch.io. And of course hope to get Greenlit again on Steam :).
The game will be premium, like Rusty Lake Hotel, we haven’t decided the exact pricing yet.

We got a lot of questions when the new Cube Escape game will be launched.. We don’t know yet, but after this project, we will work on (free) smaller games again and completing the Cube Escape series!

And don’t forget to check out the full video of Johan Scherft working on the pastel painting of Rusty Lake. Check it out!
