Community Insight:
We have played these games many times, each time feels like a new game.
Probably one of our favorite one we played so far!! We love the details and the Vincent Van Gogh play on! We low key used some hints bc Im slow lol but we loved it.
First of all the entire cube escape series is a masterpiece in itself but this in our opinion took it to a whole new level the entire room is a Vincent Van Gogh painting we love all the references to other paintings of his too like the sunflowers and the self portrait, the historical accuracy is also amazing 10/10 this is in our top three of the games for sure.
-we don't understand why a sugar turn into a piece of paint. -Moreover, the clue about which liquid is correct is don't make sense. So far, the cube season is the best for its ending ultimate puzzle.
Sorry to be the only 3 star review here, butthere was so much here to enjoy and, as always, you create your own very special atmosphere. Want to explain the logic of the necessary order of the water, wine, and absinthe moves? We had to watch your video, and we hate resorting to that. If you threw in an impossible random brute force puzzle, thumbs down. If it was clearly and fairly clued somewhere and we missed it, Ill up our rating.
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.
If you paint the center cube on the painting too early you will get stuck. We had to replay the whole game. We left the center clue blank until the end then we painted it and was able to pick it up. If you paint it too early you cant pick it up.
Ugh these games just keep getting better! We found Samsara room first (which is great) and sent us down a rabbit hole with the Rusty Lake game series. We played two more out of order not realizing there were so many, and that they built on each other. Ive now gone back and played them in order. The controls, clues, and interactivity continue to get better with each game. Super fun.
We are attempting to play every game in the series and so far we love these games they are just the right level of challenging but not where you get frustrated because you cant do it we would definitely recommend these games to every single person especially if you like challenging puzzle games.
Am we the only one who sees it? We're obsessed, like so many others, with the starry starry night painting. We've spent many moments contemplating what he was painting. What would make someone's vision translate this way? We were looking at the night sky one night, remembering universe conversations with our father who had recently passed, and our eyes filled with tears. It caused the starry night sky to look just as in the painting.
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.
Third game and have to admit our slight confusion. Changing the character to Vincent Van Gogh seems very strange to us. Yes, his mindset fits with the theme but we are unsure if this is supposed to fit in with the other games yet. Obviously we havent played them all yet so we cant judge. Another great entry with some fun new mechanics.
Feels like an escape room, the puzzles just as cryptic and fun, and the whole thing just as cool. We suggest playing with another person and doing it together.
We have played Cube Escape: Arles many times, and it is very enjoyable. The first time Indid the sunflower puzzle, we had a really hard time, but eventually we worked it out. We missed the pistol for a long time. Thank you, it keeps our marbles from falling out of our head.
Where is your new episode? Im tired of waiting, come on we need another episode this is the only game we love to play.
Im playing these in order, so this is our third game in the series, and it was an absolute winner. Amazingly, we got through it quicker than the first two, and without any hints, so maybe Im getting more of a feel for the Rusty Lake. The puzzles were terrific and well thought-out, some of them being uniquely bizarre but horrifically engrossing. The painting was a nice touch, and the last puzzle was worth the weight. We really like the weirdness of the storyline, too. It makes us wonder what the heck Im getting into next. Speaking of… We better go ahead and download the next one. Itll certainly give us something to look forward (and maybe backward) to.
To Van Gogh fans everywhere. The artwork in this 3rd in the series was beautiful, and the references (our friend Paul…Ugh) were an added wink. This was less spooky, more sad for us than Seasons or Lake, but our favorite so far. Some fates can only be changed in art (and gaming), Vincent.
How the hell do you work the sunflowers.
Really hate these. You can spend forever randomly clicking stuff. Wish there was more logic to things. Definitely deleting this. Scuba game from this makes and it will be our last.
Our favorite puzzle developer by farrrr. Amazing, pleeeease keep them coming.
We LOVE these games! Shout outs to the developers, fo sho.
We absolutely love all of these games. This one was no exception. Really fun new take exploring a famous piece of art.
Although it doesnt have levels like seasons did, it was in fact longer than the lake and it was more interactive which we especially enjoyed. The painting part was wonderful and the fact we could see and touch another person rather than a demon or a flash back was also a nice addition to the series. Good story as usual and we hope you continue to make great games.
These puzzles are great,but things got a bit scary near the end.
These games are fun af tbh, follow us on ig @sadhorror bc we need clout.
But there is a glitch where the guy doesnt give you the gun so youre not able to finish the game.
Rusty Lake did it again. This in depth puzzle/escape game will have you thinking! While the graphics or audio is not quite as polished as Paradox, (a later release in the Cube Escape series) this is still another great game by RL. A must play for any puzzle lover! Be patient.
It was good till the end. Never got the gun after the scale door was solved.
Advertisements are out of control. Cant even finish putting the code into the door with out an add interrupting and starting the process over. These games are great, but the over kill of adds is ruining it for us.
Awesome game! We wish we could say it only took us minutes to complete the game but it took us over two hours! Im an intermediate player but this game made us feel like a beginner several times. The puzzles are very well thought out and thinking outside the box is mandatory. The graphics are excellent and there were no glitches while playing. We didnt even have any advertisements pop up while playing- and we had a free download game! Hints are available online but Im too proud to cheat…whats the fun in that? The developers put a lot of time and thought into this game!! Thank you so much! Going to see what else you have available.
Love all cube escapes, dark and different, great games.
We are a big fan of Van Gogh and we must say they use every element in that painting and every detail is so deliberate and fantastic and it's free! Thank you.
We love all the cube escape games! They're interesting, challenging, and fun. We really like the look and sounds in them. Reminds us of Twin Peaks. We'd really like to see more.
Loved this series! We played through each of them in just a few days. Good quality game play, interesting, and good puzzles. Appreciate the walk through a available for when we get stuck.
We love THIS GAME SOOOO MUCH 10/10.
The cube games are absolutely our favorite escape games.
This app is the best app on our we phone.
So fun!! But we often have to watch the walk through for hints..haha.
This was a good game. It was just a bit short. Thank you, Developers! Please keep up the good work.
Completely original, an engagingly weird and challenging hand drawn game series with an elliptical backstory. Nothing else like it.
We played one game of the series, kinda by accident and loved it. Right after, we got all the other parts too and played them through as well. More please.
An interesting twist on escape the room games. Love the use of the Van Gogh theme. Well made.
Short play time but a genuinely good escape puzzle. We enjoyed the Van Gogh allusions, the clever but intuitively solvable puzzles, and the minimally invasive ads (to no doubt support the free2play model). Kudos to the Developers for getting it right.
This series is so well done, and so different. Entertaining, unpredictable, surprising fun with a horror edge. All five games released so far play very well with no glitches. Be sure to support the true devs by downloading only LoyaltyGame versions, there have been a few knockoffs which were quickly removed thanks to swift action by the LoyaltyGame folks :).
Please never stop making these games! We love playing them.
All of the games in this series are MUCH better than most of the other puzzler-escape games out there, however this one has to be our favorite… The ONLY negative thing we have to express about these games is that there are not MORE of them. =8^D.
Creepy and weird like the others. Very unique and challenging. We hope more are released soon.
YALL NEED TO LISTEN UP. IF YOU LIKED THE FIRST GAMES YOULL LOVE THIS ONE. NO BIRD MURDER THIS TIME BUT OH WELL. STOP BEING USLESS, GET A JOB, GET IN TROUBLE AT YOUR JOB BECAUSE YOU WONT STOP PLAYING THESE GAMES.
..with this series!! SO good! Need more now.
