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.

We wish you a pleasant stay in Rusty Lake!

    Counting the days. Yuuuge fan. Best escape games, surreal, thought provoking, and borderline not politically correct. Is this a Dutch production?

    Excellent, keep coming back here to see when the next one is out. Now I’ve just got to think of excuses to so I don’t have to go to that wedding on the 23rd…

  18. DerTeufel says:

    I already posted it on youtube but i’m not sure how many people will see this so i wanna shere my thought here as well:

    Okay the things I spotted and I think that are intresting in this trailer:
    1. The character that floats in almost every games’ intro is that old man
    2. Cave has really huge connection to Hotel (painting of hotel’s guests/corrupted souls, strange elevator appering f.e in Birthday and RL: Hotel)
    3. The woman and Harvey comeback <3
    4. The card with Hotel and Church (not sure) marked and word "depth", I think that this refers to the elevator, the enterance to the cave is clearly that stone once (i mean some of the old theories)
    5. Strange device where we'll probably have to insert 3 cubes (black white and blue?), this could power the elevator (if elevetor is some mix of abstarct and reality it would even make sense to put the memories into this deveice)
    6. That eye – I think that it is image from that diving suit, something really crepy lives in rusty lake (in their old page banner we could see some strange-fuunny monsters appearing in Lake)

    That's all I think that this part will solve many puzzels rather than adding some unclear parts of Rusty Lake secret. I think it will focus on the elevator secret and connection between some places in Rusty Lake
    "The truth behind everything went much deeper than most flickering shades" – yes everything in rusty lake is connected and nothing happens by accident

    "Once you've seen that truth to(?) explain to te rest of the world" – are we going to see "outside" world?

    What do you think about it?

    • Ben says:

      Most of that talk about shadows on the wall is in reference to plato’s allegory of the cave. Its incredibly interesting this is the url for a good version of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69F7GhASOdM
      Watch it. I’m not sure how much of the game will be based on these ideas but the shadows on the wall stuff and the images of shadows we see in the trailer make it seem very connected. If this game is loosely based on the allegory then I am very excited.

    This post is deliberately meant to know the Time Zone difference between you and me ;D

    • Antonio says:

      Uhmm. No. My comment has been marked with a 10:26 am timestamp, while a previous comment have been marked with a 12:28 am one. How possible? BTW, it’s 11.29 am here, so it shouldn’t be my time zone’s time.

  37. S says:

    Todaaay!! So excited to see what awaits for us!
