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!

The Past Within – Teaser Trailer

The Past Within – Teaser Trailer

We are very excited to share with you the official teaser trailer for The Past Within!

Wishlist The Past Within now on Steam!

Description:

Are you ready to unlock The Past Within? Teaming up with a friend, travel through both past and future to piece together the mysteries surrounding Albert Vanderboom. Communicate what you see around you to help one another solve various puzzles and explore the worlds from different perspectives!

The Past Within is an upcoming multiplayer point-and-click adventure taking place in the Rusty Lake universe. Next to PC & Mac, the game is also coming to iOS, Android and hopefully console! More info: Press page.

Notes:

We have been working on this project for more than a year overcoming a lot of challenges, creating our first Rusty Lake game set (partly) in a 3D environment using Unity and mixing this with multiplayer gameplay. We still have a long way to go before we can communicate a release date, but we hope to keep you excited on our social media, our blog and Steam on the development progress of the game.

    I’m so glad it’ll be multiplayer, that sounds super fun! We played Tik Tok on steam which was a similar multiplayer game and it was great, I just wanted more. The fact that I’ll get one from Rusty Lake which is one of my favourite game series of all time makes me so excited.

  4. Chinatsu says:

    So exiting!

    More than a year ago, Rusty Lake has announced that there will be a 3D game, but after you guys reliesed the White Door and Samsara Room, I’ve thought that you are giving up this project. But now it’s back!!! I’m sure Rusty Lake will give us a wonderful experience through the new work?! I love Rusty Lake!!!

    This game looks amazing and I’m so excited to play! But I am wondering… will there be the option to play single player? I just really enjoy the peaceful feeling of playing through your games at my own pace on my own schedule. It’s not something I associate with a group activity.

  20. Monkey says:

    I really love how you’re branching out from your usual gaming methods, just like you did with The White Door. I generally prefer the one-player version, but this will give me an opportunity to introduce my friends to the Rusty Lake universe that I love! 🙂 Thanks for all your efforts; I’ve already put this on my Steam wishlist, and I cant wait to play it! <3
