In this classic point-and-click adventure anthology you follow the path of Dale Vandermeer, a homicide detective, as he investigates the death of a woman and finds himself drawn into the mysterious world of Rusty Lake. Cube Escape was Rusty Lake's first series of games, introducing the Rusty Lake universe. Heavily inspired by TV series Twin Peaks. All games will be updated, preserved and bundled on Steam for a small price, to survive the end of the Flash Games era. The Cube Escape Collection will contain 9 chapters: Seasons, The Lake, Arles, Harvey's Box, Case 23, The Mill, Birthday, Theatre and The Cave. Thanks for your support! PLEASE NOTE: These games do not contain any new content from their original versions (besides achievements, a new hint system and translations)!
Runs well on modern hardware.

These Cubes really want to Escape this Collection. Cube Escape Collection is a collection (duh) of the first 9 Cube Escape games made by Rusty Lake, gameplay order is listen in the menu, but you should also play Rusty Lake Hotel after The Mill and Rusty Lake Roots after Theatre, as advised by the developers I think Cube Escape (And the Rusty Lake series) in general is the best point and click puzzle game series out there, it even has a intriguing story with some occasional horror so I am glad they survived the great flash game destruction in the form of this collection
The last time I played this game was on my phone back in the fourth grade. I'm in college now, and playing through this full collection makes me feel so damn nostalgic. I've already gotten all the achievements and completed the game. Kid me must be really proud.
This looks like a collection of mini games. I played only two of them and got kind of bored. I love the vibe but the ambigious story telling was not engaging enough for me. **Seasons**: I liked the creepy vibe of this game, but the puzzles were very difficult to figure out. I kind of understand the story of this one but the time travelling part was very confusing. **The Lake**: I love the atmosphere of one and the puzzles are neat, but I don't know what anything means in this game. I did not understand the ending too which makes the game forgettable.
