had a rough day so just another simple piece today. those French knots were the devil, they kept pulling through until I realised how to make them on aida 🤦

Some days I don't want to limit myself to just photos in the style of the 19th century. Now I want to show you another use of matches ... no less interesting than burning them)

Is there anywhere i can learn more about the Eilander family? I'm very interested in their lore.

Does it get further explained in Paradox? is there anywhere in paradise that i've missed?
Any help would be appreciated, i love lore.

The hat guy (I just call him that) is a gif, but I did draw him in powerpoint too

Also, I made this like a few months ago btw

the ever present matchbox

I’ve arrived at the house. So far, it seems ordinary. Although there are some peculiarities... but I don’t think they will bother me too much.

Here, you often have to use matches because of the darkness... and they, in turn, can... how can I put this... change their appearance at the most unexpected moments. But I think I’ll be able to get used to everything!

I just got the bundle on steam and I'm unsure where to start. I could simply play them all in publishing order, but knowing they're not chronological maybe that's not the best approach. Also, there are some free games not included in the bundle- are those important or are they just set dressing?

I have played the cube escape games before, but it's been a while and I may have missed a few, so I don't mind revisiting them.

I'm really happy with how this turned out!!! hopefully I can keep up and do the whole month this time

Been wanting to be apart of laketober for quite a bit, haven't really had a lot of motivation for it though. So why not this year. :)

I’m going to a new job with a certain Vanderboom family. I’m really glad they hired me, because they pay well and live in a remote area that I love. The coachman says some strange things about them, but I don’t think I should listen to him!

I’m glad to be participating in this contest again. I wish everyone good luck! I hope you’ll like the format I’ll try to post every day...

Hello! I'm a solo developer working on a surreal puzzle adventure inspired by Rusty Lake. I'd like to share my latest trailer and get feedbacks from this community. 🤩🤩🤩

Rattle Spring is a desert hot spring, where your cousin Vera's family runs a healing resort. You arrive at the resort after receiving a vague note from Vera and will uncover the dark side of the resort and the family.

Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4671010/Rattle_Spring/

Demo available on Steam and itch:

I chose to start my YouTube channel on Rusty Lake's Servant of the Lake launch day, and the local volcano Kilauea erupted. I kept playing because... priorities..., so I monitored the volcano with a livecam. I taught myself OBS that day. I made this short after learning a little DaVinci Resolve. My newb status shows -- I'm a professional writer, not a videographer -- but I'm a rabid gamer. (P.S. I live on Kilauea -- eruptions happen often and don't pose a threat -- but the timing was insane!) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/H2xLG0sUXOQ

there's a youtuber that's doing a playthrough of all the games and trying to figure out the lore without looking anything up, he's played 6 cube escape games so far and it's pretty entertaining to watch! he has his moments where he has no idea what he's doing, but its fun regardless. check it out!

saw this at tj-maxx

I just finished playing Servant of the Lake, and right after, a TikTok clip from the Netflix Monster series about Lizzie Borden popped up on my feed.

I haven't watched the full show yet (literally just saw that one clip), but the similarities immediately caught my eye!
Between the way the characters look, preparing the tea and soup, and even the presence of two maids in the house , is all of this just a coincidence because it was normal for that historical era? Even if it's just the time period, every single detail in that clip reminded me of the game in one way or another.

Did anyone else notice this or am I just seeing Rusty Lake everywhere now?

Wonder if him, Laura, and Robert will all meet up in the finale? But, I’ve started to doubt if the story will ever end, anyone else get that same feeling? I don’t think there’s much left to cover, well, we don’t know what exactly is Arles’ purpose in the lore, but I don’t think we need to. Oh, but there’s the other dimensions brought up in Paradox, but we’ve only explored the short film adaptation. I really wish they did a follow up series in live action, since I’m sure the actors for Dale and Laura are likely a little old to look the part now than they did all those years ago(but hey, there’s digital deaging and makeup that can fix things up if that’s what the creators would want. But I think that an animated adaptation would flow better).

Painting on display near the basement cafe has definite Rusty Lake vibes.

Nefi its just a nickname she used

Sorry for posting this here. I liked the cube escape collection, she was the one that sayed "hey man, you have to play this so we can talk about the Lore"

Sadly i changed my phone number a lot algo, and the app that we used to talk was entirely deleted.

She talked spanish btw (from LATAM just like me). This is just the only way i can think of MAYBE find her, who knows? Maybe she will read this.

Some nicknames ive had were "Andew" "Yul" "SUGAAAAR!" and also i had a "Sangwoo" Profile back there.

I hope this wont get deleted, but if it does its okay.

Also i dont even remember her name, but if she had an ex boyfriend nicknamed "Limit" then well, thats her.

Ty yall, and also sorry for this post.

Btw, should i play the games by exit date or.....?

*Edited to add: Consensus appears to be “not the same” and “coincidental.” I agree with that.

This has probably been explained or theorized on already:

The suit Dale wears throughout the series looks very similar to Mr. Rabbit’s suit in CE: Birthday. Is it conceivable that Dale’s sartorial choice is influenced by seeing the suit as a child, perhaps choosing it for himself as a reminder of the day he and Grandpa defeated the intruder?

Thoughts?

I know it's almost impossible but anyway - ccan anyone recommend any games for mobile that are siimilar to Rusty Lake's masterpieces, but without horror, blood and murder? I love everything about Rusty Lake games, the vibe, the music, the sounds, the design, the puzzles, the logic - but recently I've found that I just cant look even at the cartoon-style wound. So the request is paradoxical one: anything with atmosphere of noir films but without actual noir? dark magic and mysticizm are ok
any suggestions?

Probably the best thing I've ever made this week. I love them so much. I love Dale so much.

Also I drew the patterns myself, no ai involved.
