Community Insight:
So far, we love it ! ! Im not done yet because im stuck on the birthday flags, and we think there might be a bug? Because we got the hint, done it in that order, and its not giving us the flag like the other ones we did. (its in the room where the parents are).
Our favorite game all the time.
This game is really fun and brings chills down your back. Although, when youre supposed to figure out how the birthday decorations are, like the flags on the roof. That was really hard. Especially the one with the number 6. We find it very difficult. We also used hints to figure it out. That didnt help at all either. We love the developer and all your games. But we recommend you make your hints more helpful! Please.
We really love the Mystery, every clue gives you more interest to keep playing.
We love these games so much they are the absolute best.
Second Rusty Lake game Ive played. Absolutely incredible.
No, really, we really love this game. We dont care if its old, we're obsessed. We finished almost all of the cube escape games, and we have to say, these are our top favorite. Our favorite was birthday, harveys box, arles, case 23, and the asylum one. We recommend this game a lot. Please make a newer version! (also, no cons, we love this game and the developer).
It was such a tragedy first, we would have a lifetime trauma. Then it gives us a choice to change the past. Wish we have that option in real life.
Its nice and we love when you have the right items and u know where to put them its just all fun. It gets a littledarkBUT its great cuz we like it and the voice acting is great too.
Please make more cube games Rusty Lake.
We will play and continue to pay for every and all rusty lake games that come out. The music is absolutely beautiful in this game in particular. We impatiently wait for the next installment every time we finish a game. Of all the App Store games, Rusty Lake creates true masterpieces.
But was pleasantly surprised. It made feel all different things that we cant even describe what those feeling were exactly because were talking about a cartoon with a Mr. Owl and a Mr Rabbit. Lol. So glad to find out that are many, many more in this series. We already dled the next one. You keep making them, Ill keep playing them.
This was absolutely amazing! We played it and the part where you tap the glass and the bunny man appears scared the crap out of us! 10/10 Would definitely recommend.
Most intriguing story ' compared to the rest.
The Game is wholesome!!!! But the fly & fish part got us .. It was nonsensical.
We have no words it was the best game ever.
We were scared when the bunny came through the door with a gun bro we were sad that he shot and killed our parents and grandpa.
Amazing! It was truly a interesting game full of fun puzzles! Cutting the cake was so hard but worth it.
Let us start by saying: This is our first cube escape game. We were just looking for a fun escape room challenge to play, when this appeared in the results for our search. We had no clue what to expect, but we saw the amazing reviews and decided to give it a chance. This is literally all that we wanted and MORE! This has an engaging story, intense moments, but at the same time relaxing gameplay. A complete 10/10.
It's a CUBE. What can we say more? We just waiting for more new cube games.
This game was extremely chilling and entertaining. The plot line was very present and it felt like a story as well as an escape room.
OMG its really really amazing game we enjoyed playing.
Fun but scary worth for try but get ready for bad dreams.
Rarely are games so good that we feel the need to leave a review but Ive been playing this cube escape series in order and it is so creepy and gripping and intriguing and we cant get enough! We just finished the birthday game and all we can say is phenomenal.
Idek how to explain how these make us feel but wow its so genius and Ik what it all means bc we played samsara room first lol and now Im playing them all love it.
We love all the rusty lake games we need more . They are so interesting and fun to play.
This took us like an hour and 30 minutes to complete lol Im too slow it was kinda hard to figure out some of the things other fro that this is a very awesome, we really recommend this game.
This game is so spooky and fun! Needed hints tho because sometime we get very confused. Hahah we beat most of the games by this studio btw. MAKE MORE! WE WILL ALL ENJOY IT SO MUCH. Boom haha.
We love these games a lot, they are very entertaining and great to play when youre bored! The storylines are very interesting and so fun to solve.
We love all the games – each one seems to get better and better. So clever and just the right level of difficulty. One note – this is not a spoiler – the eye-hole in the door is almost invisible when playing on a phone. Please keep these games coming.
The cube escape series is mind blowing … We cant tell anything except : JUST DOWNLOAD AND PLAY all the episodes . Its amazing and genius.
Your straight up an anime protagonist going back in time to save your family from a furry. Real mvp was granpops, props to him. Little bit stingy though.
We have been playing th entire cube escape series and this is the 8th game we have beat. This game had lore that we liked and good puzzles but we got stuck so much.
Fish (btw jumpscare when ur doing something to the window..).
Its the best game ever good backstory.
Es un juego muy bueno pero siento que le falta mas historia de fondo, ya que se ve que transfondo es muy bueno pero no hay muchos detalles para que sepas por ejemplo (alerta spoiler) no sabes mucho de dnde vienen el conejo y el bho, us gustara saber ms sobre por que fueron con Dale.
Thank you for making them inventive, dark, addictive, and entertaining. When we start one, we cant put it down until we finish. Im glad you have the you tube walk throughs, though we try not to use them, you do get stuck sometimes. We prefer logic t o trial and error and most of the puzzles can be logicd. Thank you, we cant wait for another one. We wish you would do more after quests, like in roots, we really enjoyed going back for more.
This is one of the most confusing but fun games ever. It really is a nice spook to, Im totally going to purchase more games by this creator. We 10/10 recommend.
This was one of our favorites from them.
This is one of the many games we got because we loved Samsara Room which you should also get. We just finished it for the second time and we realized how confusing it can be. We thought you just had to rub away the fog on the window but you actually have to draw a tree. Also, the stamps with the starry night was so cool!! Its very challenging and has a few jump scares that frightened us even after we played it once! Its really fun and we still am confused on how to get the last achievement. Its a very complex, scary, and fun game to play. We suggest you get Samsara Room and the other cube escape games, like the lake and seasons.
The games in this series just continue to get better and better! We have no doubt that we will be buying the paid games once we come to them in order. We found this series through playing samsara room and Im hooked! We try not to ever use the hints, but love that they are in then game. If Im absolutely stuck Id rather use a hint than ruin the fun with a walk through. Thank you for developing such a weird world.
It was terrifying but we loooooved it keep up the good work.
Theyre the perfect high quality mystery /escape room games. They are soooo captivating. Ive played through 3 or 4 of them in one weekend.
These games are so good our birthday is soon so Im gonna play this with our family! Also we are gonna make a fandom from this game.
Another brilliant game. Best one so far but none disappoint. Just incredible.
We loved the game, it was really creepy and well thought out. However, we were stuck on the part where you had to put the flags in the right order and we had to use a hint. We put the flags in the order given by the hint, but nothing happened. We had to go to the walkthrough to find the correct order. Great game overall though.
Im a fan, no doubt, as your games require you to think, use logic and are far from boring. 98% ad free and thank you for putting so much time and thought into this series. The graphics fit the series especially well! Excellent.
Ive played all of these games in chronological order. The free ones are short, the chapters you have to pay for are much longer. Theyre worth purchasing. Do yourself a favor if you like creepy, interesting puzzle games. Buy and download all of the chapters, Google the chronological order of these games, and play them in order. We cant wait for more chapters to be released.
These are so much FUN! We love figuring out things. Not too scary but we do get startled sometimes. All in fun!! Im doing all of them now.
