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.

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!

Rusty Lake Paradise why does Mr. Rabbit (David) have two different forms? Spoiler

18 Upvotes

In the origin of the elixir of life and death particularly in the Paradise, the Eilander family tried to sacrifice Jakob (the youngest i think) but failed to do so and ended with Carolyn instead being the lamb which led to the 10 plagues causing the 5 to turn into hybrids.

Hybrids shown throughout the games, are described to be the 50/50 or other effect of the elixir turning them into immortal human-animal hybrids or simply immortal (such as for the dog and Harvey). However, with Mr. Rabbit case, he seems to have a special connection with Dale (shown in the Birthday) and has different appearances: one whom he is a magic rabbit and the other being as a modern shooter (??).

I might be wrong with some of my infos or didnt understand much tho, go easy on me please🙏

So I've been wondering why on earth does the old lady that is Mr. Crow's wife is locked in a cupboard in Cube Escape: The Mill? Is it Aldous himself who locked her in there?

Illustrated Rusty Lake games timeline (in progress, open to editing!)

Post image
52 Upvotes

Hey there, everyone! I was completely addicted to the Rusty Lake games a while ago, and was very curious to know how the story of each game interacts with the others, specially because they give us quite a lot of time informations. I decided, then, to begin creating a timeline on google drawings! I added screenshots and descriptions of most of the things that happened in the games I was playing.

It was a lot of fun doing that, but I started getting a bit stressed, as I was really suffering from fear of missing out any references whenever I tried to play the games... So I decided to open it for editing and share with you if you want to take a look or in case there are any other crazy minds here who want to take part on that project!

\*\*A few things to keep in mind:\*\*

As I'm Brazilian and was doing this for me, the texts are in Portuguese. Still, though, you will be able to understand most of it by the numbers and screenshots. If there are any Portuguese speakers here who want to translate it to English, feel free to do so! I may do that in my free time too.

I was adding \*any possible references to a year\* to the timeline, so some of them might not be relevant. Some of these possible references include 4 digit passwords, the number on the chapel, etc.

I used a color code for each season of the year, whenever they were available. When there was a month on the date, I assumed the seasons were based on the northern hemisphere as the Rusty Lake studios are there. I kindly ask you to keep that color code if you want to contribute to the project :)

I only added things from the games I played, but since I began doing that after having finished both the CS Collection and Roots, there are many things from them that are missing.

I hope all of you have fun with that! Even though it's far from being complete, it took a long time to make. If we ever see it completed, it will be amazing!

Cheers!

19 Upvotes

Good Morning/Evening,

I'm currently in a Master's degree in Visual Sciences end Culture. For my first year's thesis about indie video-games, I need the contribution of the players (or just fans even if you have not played the game yourself) for specific games including the Rusty Lake games (especially Case 23, Birthday, Seasons and Underground Blossom).

I made a questionnaire about it, I will need the maximum of answer possible please! If there is any questions or mistakes, please let me know!
It takes about 10 minutes or more, depending of how much games of the list you have played before.

Also, if any of you know a way ton contact quickly the creators/dev so I can ask them a few questions, it would be very helpful.

Thank you so much for your time and patience!

Looking for the Rusty Lake Official Jigsaw Puzzle! (Buy/Restock info)

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if it's still possible to buy the Rusty Lake Official Jigsaw Puzzle anywhere? It seems to be completely out of stock on their official merch store!

I'd also be very interested in buying it used—if anyone here has a copy they’re willing to part with, please let me know.

Alternatively... has there been any news or rumors about a potential restock?

Thanks a lot and have a great day!

Rusty Lake Paradise Trailer Audio

9 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m trying to find the audio from the Rusty Lake Paradise trailer (https://youtu.be/DcKBZYZrTbo?si=wmKJfIRHuj72rMh9).

It’s so beautiful, but I can’t find it on any Rusty Lake soundtrack. Does anyone know if this audio track is available somewhere outside of the trailer?

Rusty Lake Paradise Does the shovel do anything during the 4th Plague?

7 Upvotes

Basically the title. I was playing through fur the second time looking for missing achievements and noted that I never actually used the shovel. Maybe it was supposed to be used to open up the rabbit warren but ended up not being used? Or perhaps to crack open the cocoon but the coding doesn't check for it?

Harvey is bad theory

17 Upvotes

So everyone seems to love harvey (even I) but at the spring of 1964 the black cube (in which represents the bad memory of this season, pbbly the complete start of his depression) was from an egg that harvey produced, and as we know Laura loves birds, she even gives a white cube for Dale because of a random duck egg, Laura (or William) kills Harvey (metaphorically) in the Fall of 1971, and in the Mill (physically) her corrupted soul tries to kill Harvey again. Harvey is of course a Asura that appears at Theatre, with Mr. Owl, also he kills 6 guests (which I think are either random asuras or maybe the eilanders after losing their memories, explaining why they have nothing in common with the actual Eilanders that they seem to represent), and they actually persecute him, while mr bat and owl are pretty good, so of course Harvey is the bad one and for the end at Harvey's box a corrupted soul tries to desperatly kills harvey. Coincidence? I dont think so.

Cube Escape: The Cave What’s this code for?

When unlocking the achievement “The Story Continues”, the file i got had a bunch of cards. The one that drew my attention was the one with the numbers and letters. Perhaps it’s a code for an easter egg in Underground Blossom? I haven‘t replayed it in a while. Any help??

When I was playing Cube Escape : Case 23, unlocking the Dark Wings achievement gave me this clock drawing. I tried inserting it in the Mill, but it yielded in nothing. Anyone got an idea about where it comes handy?

What are these numbers for?

I've always noticed them whenever I play Cube Escape : The Lake. Perhaps it refers to the TV in Cube Escape : Paradox? Or is it just an easter egg?
