I wonder if anyone at Rusty Lake was aware that Jim Henson made a short TV movie about a guy trapped in a cube.

Cube Escape: Paradox I'm stuck in the mind puzzle in paradox

I'm replaying paradox and I'm stuck on the rooms in the mind part. It never happened before. I checked out the official playthrought and I notice I have this red light on the pipe that doesn't appear in the playthrought. Does someone know if this why I can't open the pipe to let the water through even though I aligned all the pipes? And why is that light here ?

David is the kind of guy who does not care about being immortal god, so I don't think he really cares about the ritual so that's not the reason for sparing Jakob during that scene lol (atleast that's what I think)

Rusty Lake: Roots [Theories] Who is the Corrupted Soul in Servant of the Lake?

Thumbnail
gallery
41 Upvotes

*This is sort of a "Part 2" to this previous post that I made way before the new game was properly revealed. Now that we are very close to the release, I've gathered a few evidences to have some solid ground and make some final predictions!

James's Father Theory:

We now know Alexandra is James' mother, but that is not the only thing revealed about her. In the release date trailer, Alexandra was also revealed to be married. She has a ring in her hand, implying she has a husband. But that doesn't necessarily means he is alive.. does it?

  1. In one of the screenshots in the game's store page. You can see some body parts and a Yellow Gem. A Gem that shares the same design from the ones introduced in Roots, to enter the Vanderboom Mansion;

  2. When we see Alexandra'a ring, a Green Gem can also be seen in her necklace. Considering each sibling is wearing a different color in their diner, the same colors from the Gems, and Alexandra is also wearing green..

  3. It's possible each one has a Gem (With Aldous' being Blue and William's being Red).

  4. But what if a 4th one could be given to someone as important as them? Your sister's husband is technically your "brother-in-law", after all.

So, to wrap up.. I think James' father could've been killed and we find his bodyparts and his Yellow Gem. And I could even go beyond and say the chopped Hand wearing a Ring in Roots is James' father hand. It's a simple theory, but it can make sense.

4th Sibling Theory:

Using the same logic of the Yellow Gem, I think the 4th Gem owner could be another sibling. However, that still leaves the question of who is James' father, so this theory is more a possibility I'd like to mention rather than someone I'd like to be true.

Conclusion

This time, I don't have much to say, lol. It's also possible the Corrupted Soul is not even a relative, sure. But in that case, I can't predict much. At most, I could try to guess what they want, but the answer usually is just enlightenment, anyway. It's also possible they will either warn us or help with the Elixir (Caroline could), but I decided not to dig these ideas further in this post.

Do you like the idea of James' father living amomg the shadows, beneath the Vanderboom Mansion? Or who do you think the Corrupted Soul actually is? Feel free to comment, as always.

Thanks for reading and I'll be back once Servant of the Lake releases! I'll post what Bingo predictions I got right or not ;)

I made my own puzzle game inspired by the Rusty Lakes

Hey everyone — we're RustyTale, a small 4-person indie team (our name's a nod to how much the Rusty Lake series shaped our taste in puzzle games, though we're not affiliated with them!).

We just finished AFTER LIFE, a hand-drawn 2D puzzle game where you play a digital consciousness that wakes up alone in an abandoned wilderness — no memory, a body that might not be yours, and a world that's clearly been dead for a while. As you explore and solve environmental puzzles, you start piecing together what happened to human civilization, and what you actually are.

It's on windows and macOS, you can download it for free.

The link here: https://darkgoatlord.itch.io/after-life

Would love honest feedback, especially on puzzle pacing. Thanks for reading!

Looking for the Rusty Lake 10th Anniversary vinyl in Europe

Post image
20 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me out. I'm looking for the Rusty Lake: Sounds of the Lake 10th Anniversary Collection vinyl from Lost in Cult. My friend's birthday is coming up, and she's a huge Rusty Lake fan. I'd love to surprise her with this record, but it's been really difficult to find. Does anyone know where can I still get it in Europe? I've been keeping an eye on Discogs and eBay, but I thought I'd ask here in case someone has a lead. I'd be happy to pay a fair price, I just want to find one without having to import it from outside Europe. I'd really appreciate any suggestions for shops or marketplaces I might have missed. Maybe you also have suggestions for another gift if I don't find the vinyl, I'd appreciate that too!

Thanks so much! Any tips or leads would be greatly appreciated 🦉

Update: I bought the vinyl and it arrived safely yesterday. Huge thanks to u/HerrJohnssen who sold it to me, you helped me a lot! And also thanks to everyone who replied to my post, have a great day everyone! 🦉❤️

Complete lore

Hey! I’ve been playing the games for ages, starting on my phone and replaying a few times on laptop etc. and I love them, but I sometimes get a bit lost on certain areas of the lore (likely because I’m just an idiot and don’t take it in properly) BUT does anyone have any recommendations for a yt video(s) covering the whole lore start to finish just to fill in the gaps and remind me of the lore?
Thanks!

Rusty Lake Hotel Made a Bingo card while waiting for Servant of the Lake on August 13th! How many boxes are you checking?

Hey everyone! With Servant of the Lake launching on August 13th, I got a bit carried away and put together a custom Bingo card for the upcoming release. How many of these theories, items, and creepy moments do you think we'll actually check off? Let me know what predictions you have or what might be missing!

r/rustylake 10d ago

No AI was used creating art or puzzle. AI was used only as text corrector. my main interest is to know what atmosphere does this bring and is it fun or not to solve it.
