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!

Rusty Lake Paradise – Development update #4 Gameplay

Rusty Lake Paradise – Development update #4 Gameplay

We can finally reveal the name of our new premium game: Rusty Lake Paradise! It was about time since some fans already discovered the name on showcasing events :).

We know a lot of you guys are waiting on the game, but there is still a lot to do (around 50% is done). With every new production we ask more from ourselves: better graphics, new gameplay and a comprehensive storyline. In the end we hope it all comes together, so it will be a nice mix of puzzles, story and Rusty Lake atmosphere.

The gameplay of Paradise will be a bit different from our previous work. It is set on an island so you can go around the area, a bit similar as Cube Escape: The Mill in which you could navigate between the different floors. We had to beta test this new gameplay a lot, but all in all we can say players pick it up really fast. We are happy with this improvement because it fits the island theme and it also gives us more gameplay & puzzle opportunities.

Check out all the showcasing events where you can play a demo of Paradise: here. Hopefully we will come to your city!

For press we have set this page up, which we will update as often as possible: Rusty Lake Paradise Press Page.

    Last year,I saw new year’s plan on the rustylake.com which included some words like “the last version of cube escape”.After seeing that, I felt quite sad.But after Cave,I saw the new game–paradise.I felt…how to say that…quite surprising.
    I’m very happy to see the new game and It’s my great honor to have the chance to play the coming game.

  11. Virginia Torres says:

    I’m very happy and anxious to play the new game. I volunteer as a beta tester for the spanish version of the game. Loved all your games.
    PS: If this helps… In “Roots” I discovered and wrote +50 elements in the final puzzle.

  36. HronB says:

    There are millions of escape games. And there are thousands of “spooky” / “creepy” ones. But you will never find something like the cube escape series! Every game has clever, new features/puzzles/elements. Still there is a main concept behind everything and it makes even more fun to replay the older games, because of the freaky story behind all this. Rusty Lake, you all did a magnificent job on all these games! I got addicted and I want more! =)

  37. mr. owl says:

    can’t wait to play. be fast please

  41. Apple says:

    THE BEST escape series I’ve ever played and probably the only android game I’ve ever purchased. The characters, story line, music, narrator’s voice, unconventional horror and noir feels really got me hooked. Looking forward to this 😀

    Thank you for giving us the best escape game✨✨

  44. maddie says:

    Oh man this looks incredible I’ve loved these games forever and i’m always hyped when i new one comes out! i think its funny its no longer really a “cube escape” game anymore if you can navigate like that but now i’m just nitpicking.

  45. anand joshi says:

    This seems so cool! When this game is gonna be releasing?

  46. anand joshi says:

    Oh! and also is this free of cost? or its just like the roots?

  47. Lumivarjo says:

    I have loved Rusty lake and cube series, ever since I first played them. You make awesome games and even with the games basically in stills, the jump scares I received are one of the epic ones.

    Only thing, I had as a question, all of them being connected, can I get their timelines. I have an idea about a few, but rest are in a haywire. Can you tell me, so that I can play in that sequence once again.

  51. lisa says:

    Thank you so much for each awesome gaming experiences!! you don’t know how much it means
    love and kisses! to our dear team.

  52. Amnase says:

  53. Lunareclipse says:

    Maybe the Paradise will show the secret of Mr.Crow.(Aldous Vanderboom)
    I’m looking forward to confirming whether my idea is right or not.
