Play Overview
Cube Escape Collection (2015) is a set of 9 point-and-click escape room-style games set within the Rusty Lake universe. As you follow a murder case through the games, you uncover secrets and hidden meanings in unusual places that enable you to piece together what happened. The feel of surreal horror and uneasy humour, combined with the continuity between each game make them unique and intriguing.
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:
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.
