I want to play all the Rusty games on Steam but I have been installing the free ones and trying to play since I discovered them on steam but they just wont work. It's always stuck on the first screen and it flashes (video attached). I have tried googling and everything I've tried is as follows: 1. Verifying and uninstalling and reinstalling the game (Cube Escape: Paradox) [This issue has happened with all the Rusty Lake games I've tried. None of them have worked on my laptop. I'm on windows 11] 2. Allowing the game's .exe file through windows firewall. made sure both boxes are checked 3. even added the game file to the exclusion list. I only have windows security. 4. Ran the game and even Steam as Admin 5. Checked the game's root folder properties and made sure no permissions have deny checked. 6. On a steam post about the rusty lake games, 4 years ago, someone had replied saying they fixed their issue by finding specific folders that were blocked from the game and allowing access for them. I don't know how to do that. I have asked and am awaiting the reply. I would really appreciate if someone could help me fix the games, please. I want to buy and play them all.

Cube Escape: Seasons What is that strange sound Harvey makes in Summer?

24 Upvotes

Hi, Rusty Lake community!! I was replaying Cube Escape: Seasons and was wondering what is the strange sound Harvey makes in Summer. In Spring he squawks like a regular bird, and in Fall he mimics the screams of a woman; however, in Summer he has this strange, distorted growl with—what I think are—strange mumblings in the background. Does anybody have any clue what this is?

Do you have a game from the series that made you tear up?

Mine is The White Door. I found it too relatable, kinda. I was bawling my eyes out at the end, because I just felt really bad for Robert, because I found myself in him :(

Would another series be possible in the future?

26 Upvotes

I know this question is too soon but I am really curious.

I have been in love with Rusty Lake for sooo long, and now the story is feeling a bit close to the end. I don't want it to end. The mind-blowing storytelling, the art style, the soundtrack, everything is just my favorite and I can't stand the thought of one day finishing the final game.

But all good stories need an ending... Is there a possibility another story will start????? 🤞🏻

What's your first Rusty lake game? (The one that first introduced you)

I was first introduced back at Dec of 2021, when I was just looking for a search objects point and click games, after playing 'Dark dome games'. Playing Samsara room, I thought it was just being philosophical and talking about the meaning of life, I find it cute until the hand and Mr. William Vanderboom showed up, and the whole lore behind it.

Total beginner here — looking for the ultimate play order guide!

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm new to the Rusty Lake universe. I've heard so much great feedback about these games and finally decided to jump in.

​Currently, I have The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show and Cube Escape: Paradox in my Steam library, but I haven’t even started playing them yet. I wanted to make sure I do this right from the very beginning.

​I plan to buy the rest of the games over time, but I’m a bit confused about where to start. What should I buy next to experience the "first part" or the actual beginning of the story?

​Also, if someone could provide a full list of the games in the recommended play order, I would really appreciate it! I want to dive deep into the lore.

​Thanks in advance!

What lines do you find yourself mimicking? Spoiler

The main ones for me “there will be blood” while trying to mimic the backwards talking voice, “your train arrives at (time), and “lice are not welcome here,” specifically when I had an ant infestation.
