PC User Reviews

The Cube Escape Collection is a haunting dive into Rusty Lake’s surreal world, bundling nine games: Seasons, The Lake, Arles, Harvey’s Box, Case 23, The Mill, Birthday, Theatre, and The Cave. Playing these on PC felt like unraveling a nightmare. You follow detective Dale Vandermeer, solving a murder case that spirals into bizarre horror, inspired by Twin Peaks. Each game’s a short escape room, lasting 20-60 minutes, for a 5-6 hour **** art’s creepy yet simple—sketchy lines, muted colors, and odd details like a crow’s eye staring at you. Seasons twisted my brain with time-shifting rooms, and The Cave’s underwater vibe felt suffocating. The sound, with eerie hums and sudden creaks, kept me tense; my phone buzzing mid-puzzle made me jump. Puzzles are point-and-click classics—mixing items, decoding symbols—but Harvey’s Box’s abstract logic stumped me for ages. Mouse controls on PC are smoother than mobile, though I missed the touchscreen **** stories are cryptic, linking the Vanderboom family and memory cubes. You don’t need to play in order, but Seasons before Case 23 and The Mill adds depth. Some puzzles, like in Arles, feel random, and the art’s basic compared to Paradox. Still, it’s a steal for the price. I spent a weekend scribbling notes to crack codes. Cube Escape Collection gets an 8.5/10—essential for puzzle lovers or fans of unsettling tales. Play it at night, but keep the lights on.

from the makers of the acid trip, you now get the all new heroine coma. where you can get immersed in the drug-fueled world of rusty lake.

It's a good game-collection for what it sets out to do; most of the puzzles are well constructed and enjoyable even when they are hard; the atmosphere of the art is often captivating. The main negative is that various of the puzzles are not based on well defined logic but on random surrealism; they leave the user forced to guess what the artist of the game had subjectively in mind; the hint system rarely helps on those. The artwork is not the strongest in the genre; most drawings and animations are too simplistic and the music can be repetitive; there are many jump scares but they are rarely justified by the story.

This is an excellent point-and-click adventure from Rusty Lake. The story is interesting but challenging to understand without playing the previous games. Some puzzles are difficult to figure out and I had to use hints and sometimes even google answers. On PC it's very much worth the cheap price, and on mobile, it's free with optional reward advertisements. 9/10

Probably the best Escape Room game I've played in a long time, and at an extremely low price (and even completely free on mobile). Gives your a brain a good workout, and has a deep story along with a light horror element. Great to play with family and friends.

All the cube escape games in one place. Achievements support. Mysterious story, beautiful art and music. Difficulty is mostly manageable but might have to bust out a walkthrough for some puzzles.

Smart and bizarre, like the entire Rusty Lake series. It's definitely worth it!
