Cube Escape Collection for Pc

I was on a hunt through the App Store for a puzzle-based escape room for about a month. Of the 10-12 different developers I’ve tried, not a single one can hold a candle to the genius of Rusty Lake. The originality alone would put it on the top spot, but the great puzzles, artwork that is both sophisticated and simple, and the plot that is clear enough to understand it, but still is confusing enough for personal aha moments make it shoot past the competition. Even the details are perfect: the anonymity of the animal-headed people , the recurring images of fish, Laura, clocks, Harvey, cubes, etc., and the simply inspired use of famous paintings. I loved seeing the pieces of the puzzle fall into place as I uncovered the story. Another great part about this game is that if I wait a while, I can replay all the puzzles, and I usually make a new realization every time! I can tell how much the developers care about telling the story instead of making money on cheap content, unlike the ad-loaded, mindless games I used to play. I have played nearly every game in the series already, including the premium ones, and I can’t wait to see what happens next at Rusty Lake! Also, thank you so much.

This is a collection of Escape Room (the app) games that have previously been individually released, and based on the first few games I’ve finished, it is well worth the download. There’s a story that flows through out, even for ones that seem unrelated. The gameplay and puzzles are very reminiscent of old PC point and click escape games, including its difficulty😳, which is partially due to its psychological horror elements that make for a good mix of common sense and thinking outside the box type puzzles. Horror is also another staple of a lot of classic escape room games and this game is especially impressive because each room is pretty simple, only really showing things that are needed for the puzzles. The horror in this gave me Fran Bow vibes (particularly when the “madness” really kicks in and there’s a visual rumbling) without as much gore and without the horror elements being consistent throughout, which makes when they do happen that much more unnerving if you’ve lowered your guard, and if you haven’t, you’ll be anxious the whole time, worried about when something spooky will happen. 😬 It really adds this sense of being watched and feeling trapped which seems to be what they’re going for thematically. It’s really well done storytelling so far with a lot of symbolism and atmosphere.

I have been a die hard Rusty Lake fan for years. I love everything about the games...challenging, grotesque, evolving storylines, uniqueness, etc. And I’ve loved watching them evolve over the years. I’ve never left anything less than a 5* review for their games, and it pains me to do so now, but I feel I must. I feel like the developers lost their focus and tried to go in too many different directions...videos, comics, merchandise, different types of games. And while I appreciate the creativity, they lost sight of what they do best...high end, point and click escape games. They now release a new game maybe once every 2 years...which offers, at best, 1-3 days of gameplay. That is just not enough to hold anyone’s attention and they are letting competitors pass them by. I hope they soon figure out what they want to be, and stick to it. In the meantime, I’ll be spending my time and money on other developers....Forgotten Hill, Lucid Dream, Cotton Games, Snapbreak...to name a few.

I recommend this series to everyone I know! Hands down my favorite series ever. I love playing these games. The plot and the Twin Peak’s inspiration is probably my favorite thing about this entire series. The characters are awesome too! Dale and Harvey are my absolute favorite. Rusty Lake manages to take a normal escape room game and turn it into a full blown adventure! An amazing time is always guaranteed when playing any of their games! Challenging, fun, and absolutely awesome. If you have the money, definitely check out their other games: Rusty Lake Hotel, Rusty Lake: Roots, Rusty Lake Paradise, and The White Door! I had them downloaded on my old phone and I would play them all the time! I can’t wait to see what else you guys create to expand on this already awesome series!
