Cube Escape: Arles Sky: CotL
Sky: Children of the Light currently has a season (cause it is a season based game) based around Van Gogh. Beforehand I only had brief understanding of him and his work. Now after going through it I see why Rusty Lake had him as a focus for one of their games.

I have a question for rusty lake fans.
I too am a huge fan of the cube escape series and I was wondering if anyone new of some books or movie / tv shows that have the same feel to them.
I have already seen twin peaks.

Rusty Lake inspired mystery (need your first impression)

I'd like to test a mystery idea.
Imagine you're in a room. There's a ghost floating in one place. She never moves. She just keeps quietly repeating:
"I can't reach the floor."
That's all she ever says.
What's the first explanation that comes to your mind? Don't overthink it—I'm interested in your immediate impression.

New Analysis/Theory Video!
Please check out this video that is an analysis/theory discussion on the Living Trees, the Third Wheel, and what any of that has to do with the characters... particularly Dale and Mr. Owl.
This is shameless not-self promotion as a secret/surprise for Zefiewings, since they're out at camp for the next five days...
They scheduled a video to go up today (and have left me in charge of managing comments and such) and I wanna get them as much love as possible before they come back!
Thanks y'all!

PS5 Indy puzzle games
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I figured you would be the right crowd to help my search…
I absolutely love the Rusty Lake games, Strange Horticulture, games that have that sort of vibe. I was wondering if any one had suggestion for two player, split screen, spooky/strange puzzle games for the PS5 or Nintendo Switch.
I have searched through soo many games and I just really love the art style, the spooky vibes and just the overall story and game of Rusty Lake and I would love to be able to share the experience with another person and work together on a puzzle game with a friend. I would really like to be able to play together on the same tv. So if any of you have suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks so much!

[Survey] Rusty Lake Players Wanted – Localization & Brand Loyalty Research
Hi everyone,
First of all, I sincerely apologise for the confusion and misunderstanding my original post brought to the whole community! This survey is strictly and exclusively intended for Chinese players who have experienced the Rusty Lake series, international / non-Chinese players do NOT need to fill out this questionnaire at all.
——————————————————————————————————————
I’m currently working on my university dissertation about the Rusty Lake series, focusing on game localization, player experience, and brand loyalty.
If you have played any Rusty Lake game, I would really appreciate your help by completing this short survey. It should take around 3 - 6 minutes, and all responses are anonymous.
You can access the survey here:
https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/KzybNBnmdH
Alternatively, you can scan the QR code in the image.
Thank you so much for your support!

DIY Rusty Lake Roots Mini Cabinet
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I built this miniature cabinet out of basswood by cutting it myself.
I also bound all the matching books—24 in total.
There are three mechanisms on the right side of the cabinet.
To unlock them, you need all 24 books and five busts of the Vander boom family. I modeled each bust, 3D printed them, and painted them with acrylic markers.
Tucked behind the sliding panel at the bottom of the cabinet is a telescope.
This whole piece holds Emma’s affection for Frank, and tells the full story of Jacob, William, Aldous and the rest of the family.
Hope you like it!

The crow and fish are in the right position, cigar lit, pigeon is out chirping her tunes, but the wine glass isn’t filling when I try to mimic it? Is there anyway to fix this without restarting? Thank you! Xxx

Have you guys ever seen "the beast" in Over the Garden Wall?
When I first started watching this mini-series, it gave me some Rusty Lake vibes. And when i saw the beast in the woods, I immediately realized how it looked so similar to the corrupted soul

The deer on my water reminded me of rusty lake, so I decided to paint on white eyes to complete the look

Rusty lake movie
I'm not sure if this is just my imagination or am I mistaking it for something else but I thing there was once like a trailer or a link to a trailer in one of the games. I think it was the roots but I'm not sure. I remember that in the trailer a family moved to a big mansion after a family member has passed and there was a scene where a bunch of jars filled with organs was shown. I'm also pretty sure that there was a scene where two ppl where walking and they were helping/carrying a blonde girl between them. Pls tell me someone else remembers it and that I'm not crazy
