Cube Escape Collection Review
Posted: 3 months ago, last updated 12 weeks ago.

Overview
You play homicide detective Dale Vandermeer as he investigates the mysterious death of a woman. As you investigate the many rooms, looking for clues to help you piece together the allegorical clues surrounding her death. There are many puzzles you need to solve, many of which are extremely challenging, requiring extreme attention to detail and outside-the-box thinking.
The Cube Escape games combine to tell one big story with hundreds of secrets waiting to be found. Similar to the Five Nights at Freddy's series, the games have amassed a large following dedicated to piecing together the story.
Like the other games in the Rusty Lake universe, these games are heavily inspired by the TV show Twin Peaks, and combine with the other games to tell a complete and intertwining, ever-changing narrative.
The first 9 Cube escape games are included in the collection:
- Seasons
- The Lake
- Arles
- Harvey's Box
- Case 23
- The Mill
- Birthday
- Theatre
- The Cave
Cube Escape: Paradox is the tenth game in the Cube Escape series, and continues the story, employing the same gameplay, but was not included in the collection.

The games are very difficult, and will often require extreme thought and patience to overcome challenges. You can use hints in each game when you get stuck, and the developers have full walkthrough of each game posted to their YouTube channel.
All in-game events are triggered by your actions and there is never any need to react quickly to things happening in the game.
As some clues are only shown (or implied) through visual or audio cues, sound and visuals are required to beat the game. Some visual clues are very subtle or faint, and/or use colour, which is important to note for colourblind players. In addition, some of the audio cues require attentive listening, although large, high-contrast text accompanies the audio if it's a voice.
