Cube Escape

Cube Escape and Rusty Lake are a series of surrealistic escape room or point and click puzzle video games developed by Dutch indie game developers Rusty Lake. Cube Escape games largely focus on the life and death of Laura Vanderboom, who serves as the protagonist for the first two entries, Seasons and The Lake. Other games in the series feature different protagonists, such as Vincent Van Gogh, a parrot named Harvey, and a detective, Dale Vandermeer, who is investigating Laura's death. Rusty Lake series, set in the same universe as Cube Escape, tells about the earlier events, such as the story of Eilander and Vanderboom families. Both series share similar setting and atmosphere, and are heavily inspired by Twin Peaks. As of June 2021, there have been ten mainline games released in the series, the tenth being complemented by a limited edition of the Cube Escape: Paradox comic book, illustrated by Lau Kwong Shing. In addition, Cube Escape Collection, a collection of the first nine Cube Escape games, was released on Steam in October 2020 in advance of the deprecation of Adobe Flash. Rusty Lake series that tells about Laura Vanderboom's ancestry includes four paid games: Rusty Lake Hotel, Roots, Paradise and Servant of the Lake. In the same universe, but considered singular games, Rusty Lake has released both The White Door and Samsara Room - a remake of an older game published by Rusty Lake in 2016. Additionally added to the series on November 2, 2022 was The Past Within, which is a two-player game, the first Rusty Lake has made of this type.
