The memories of the sacrificed people turn into ten black memory squares scattered across the island, bringing disaster to the Eilander family. Each game in the series can be played individually, but when all the games are played in sequence, the backstory can be pieced into a compelling story.

Rate Rusty Lake and Cube Escape Series
Gameplay
Score：★★★★☆
Find the correct way of solving various mysterious puzzles in a room you’ll find yourself in. Critically analyze the clues and unite the various items you come across. Your escape from the cube room is only possible once you find the right solution. Have much more fun with all the 15 Escape the Room games by Rusty Lake Studio. Rusty Lake: is an excellent mobile game that you’ll find more enjoyable on small screens, so I recommend you use your mobile device to play it. Structured and designed in riddles, the touch and go through all the game series. These games have a great atmosphere that is immersive at times, very creepy and sinister. For instance, Rusty Lake: Roots is an amazing follow-up game besides Rusty Lake Hotel, a grimmer, grander, and more gruesome series than ever.
The Rusty Lake games have carved out a niche as one of the most favorite point-and-click series of the current gaming era. I recommend you pick at least three surreal horror series for the first time, e.g., Cube Escape: Arles, Rusty Lake: Hotel, and Cube Escape: Birthday, to experience their amazing gameplay. It’s more of a Donnie Darko of the dark world. Enjoy!
Puzzle difficulty
Score: ★★☆
Although the series features an original and engaging game-making, the puzzles are difficult to leave a player scratching their head for a while, although finally, you come to an end. The game’s atmosphere is fully immersive and often very creepy and sinister.
Graphic
Score: ★★★★
The game animations and graphical style remain very basic though high quality. The first time I played this game, the amazing graphics hooked me up, leading me to play most of these game series. Easily the best graphic for a point-and-click adventure type of game series. The magnificent and mysterious graphics featuring the best traditions of Twin Peaks and David Lynch
Music
Score: ★★★★★
To create an amazing gaming atmosphere, all the Rusty Lake game series feature a piece of cool background music that plays while the game-play.
From Cube Escape to Cube Escape Seasons, the Mill, Rusty Lake, uses royalty-free music composed and produced by Kevin MacLeod. Therefore, I highly recommend you put on your headphones and adjust the volume to enjoy every bit of Kevin MacLeod’s music in the background while you play your favorite game. Remember, these curious sounds in the game synchronize with the objective of each game to give you a relaxed gaming mood. However, be careful of the sudden scary sound effects in the game. (This GAME FORCE ME KNOW HOW STRONG MY INTELLIGENCE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ABILITY are! “I question my ability to be smart”) Note: The Blue Sizzle music features on every game’s menu screen before the Rusty Lake: Hotel. The Radio at Mrs. Pigeon’s room in the Rusty Lake Hotel will play different music tracks.
Level of terror
Score：★★★☆
The bigger part of Rusty Lakes’ terror arises from the game’s unpredictability, with much horror coming from the changing environment. Besides, solving mysterious puzzles in the cube will leave you scared about your next move. For example, Rusty Lake Hotel is relatively short but with a difficult puzzle where your task is to kill the hotel guests in a macabre way. Each room features riddles that give you clues on how you should murder these guests. Act brave, accomplish your mission, and don’t allow great terror to hinder your mission.
