“More of the same from the Cube Escape series, though slightly more refined with fewer obtuse puzzles than earlier entries in the series. I look forward to continuing through these off-putting little point-and-click…”

“Loved the vibes of this game and the puzzles were super manageable even if you're a beginner :) Fun story and lore as well!”
“This was a great strategic game, I liked the art style, the banter of the characters, the story, all of it! Was a nice little game. I had to use the walkthrough for some of it, I'm not going to lie. Overall, great game.”

“This game is short, ~2-3 hours to complete even if you get stuck sometimes, vague, mysterious and the majority of puzzles are actually easy if you explore the enviroment or understand their logic. The only complaints i…”

“I’m obsessed with all Rusty Lake games tbh. Replayed a few times the Cube Escape game on my iPad and still do ❤️. Recently bought this game and 4 more and that was worth every spent dollar. (Also I’m very exited for the…”
“Rusty lake in general: + good visual clues + some morbid themes + good mystery + interconnected story, reocurring characters + time travel - some of the puzzles (or their solutions) don't make a lot of sense, even in…”

“This hurt my brain a little. Enjoyable. Played it with a group of friends and we had a blast. It was a lot of fun. But the cliffhanger was a bummer.”
