[cunning nymph]

What's the scariest thing about rusty lake?

[dull parcel]

Corrupted souls, easily, both as jumpscare elements and lore-wise
Its been more than 5 years and i still get the chills with them, not to mention theyre fricking ghost-like souls that got brrr bc they got their memories extracted
Its scary and sad sheesh

[clear meadow]

Your memories belong to the Lake now

[covert imp]

y'all

me is bored

what should I do

[haughty light]

replay the RL games clearly.

[covert imp]

okay then what game first

[haughty light]

roll a dice for it

[covert imp]

hmmmm

good idea

I landed on the collection

and next I landed on theatre

[haughty light]

well have fun!

[covert imp]

WAIT I JUST NOTICED

THE BARTENDER LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE ALDOUS

[haughty light]

Well yes

[covert imp]

is it him https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/849290926571913267.webp?size=44&quality=lossless

also um

weird question but

who voiced bob or robert hill

[rustic geode]

Well, Bob Rafferty!

[paper rune]

The corrupted souls don't even scare me its just something about them makes my heart hurt and I can't place why

[odd stirrup]

I’ve been dead

[cunning nymph]

Just played the brood and I'm honestly

Not sleeping tonight

[meager zodiac]

Hey, guys! Which one are you playing?

[cunning nymph]

Roots

[velvet pier]

just an overall creepy and mysterious vibe

[lament crescent]

paradise ending

[cunning nymph]

You actually got that far?

Omg I'm stuck on the frog flute

[velvet pier]

oof

tbh i probably struggled on paradise the most out of any of the games

[cunning nymph]

Same over here

[lament crescent]

yes (100% completed games)

but i sometimes use guides because I cant complete ARG in white door without this

[finite terrace]

I just finished 100%ing the CE collection

Used a guide for some of the achievements, there’s no way I would have gotten The Story Continues on my own

[velvet pier]

yeah i had to for that as well

sometimes i wish i didnt use a guide for some of the achievements so that i would have more content to explore now
and other times i remember that achievement

[lament crescent]

I think 100% point&click fans use guides sometimes, in rusty lake games for achievements, in old for small chance to complete

I will always remember riddle from "Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet" to solve which you need to know how photos were developed in the 20s

[velvet pier]

nice

[haughty light]

@twin nimbus please keep it English in the main chats.

im assuming you're pinging a friend? but still.

[unique edge]

Ok

English only

[haughty light]

@twin nimbus I'll just say it one more time; Keep it English in the main chats.

[unique edge]

English

[haughty light]

failure to comply will net you a mute.

you can always use Google translate.

that's what Google Translate is for.

[unique edge]

[haughty light]

my Gender is irrelevant

Please keep any non Rusy Lake conversation to #🛖｜the-cabin

considering that you're new here please check out the #✅｜rules .

No.

[unique edge]

No

Bruh get out @twin nimbus

[haughty light]

again; off topic chat should go to #🛖｜the-cabin .

[stoic yacht]

Montana, I'm going to have to ask you to cool it with the frendo comments.

[haughty light]

this channel is for Rusty Lake, #🛖｜the-cabin is for anything not Rusty Lake.

[cunning nymph]

I want rusty lake to be a like a TV show as roots it would be so cool

[haughty light]

Just watch twin peaks! :CRowig

*

[winter plinth]

Anybody here from Egypt 🇪🇬🌍?

I know I am not the only one!

[haughty light]

well if they are they're free to voice that in #🛖｜the-cabin !

[meager zodiac]

I'm playing RL Roots again. Do you remember how to pass the voodoo episode?

[meager zodiac]

Me too.

I discovered Rusty Lake was inspired on a series named Twin Peaks

[haughty light]

You've been warned,@twin nimbus, keep it English in the main chats.

[cunning nymph]

Anyone know the inspiration for the rusty lake characters I find them very inspiring

[haughty light]

as Cristy mentions twin peaks was a big inspiration for Rusty Lake!

[willow hamlet]

Hi. Why RL make a Kickstarter campaign for Paradox, if they not need the money for make the movie and the game? They sells their games veery good

[haughty light]

Making a movie is incredibly expensive.

[paper rune]

Twin Peaks looks really interesting and also maybe creepy as the games 🧍🏾‍♀️

[unreal timber]

Also even if sales are good, the games are super cheap

You gotta pay a whole crew for a movie

Actors, sound directing, and other staff arent included in the games so its a lot of extra money needed

[fiery island]

I read that all of the Cube Escape games up to either Theater or Mill used music from Kevin MacLeod.

does anyone have a complete list of which tracks? I'm trying to build a complete OST playlist + Victor's work

[clear meadow]

I think there's a full list on spotify somewhere

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/62Q3WJGCfPiBStGUpQaGs5?si=18bb68fcc4d34eef
Here's what I got

[fiery island]

I'm also looking for the tracks for the original Samsara room, not the Steam remake

[clear meadow]

Ah, I can't help with that one. I wasn't around for that one

[indigo turtle]

Check out the rusty lake wiki, you might find something useful in the trivia section

[covert imp]

AND THAT WAS THE END OF IT

I completed all of the games

[haughty light]

gg!

[covert imp]

I think I played them all in the correct order

like in the story wise order

I mean I just played them randomly but

the story was progressing

it wasn’t the past, present and future all at once

[covert imp]

unlike mr owl would say

[livid tapir]

I think i missed Something in the Last seasons Level because of the Glass of Water which i didnt used

Is there anything

[haughty light]

ye you use it on the mixer to create juices to fill the tubes?

[cunning nymph]

I got bored so I decided to design my room like the cube escape Theatre room

[velvet pier]

nice

when i first played seasons, i thought the game ended once you finish the blueprint on the picture frame and i moved on to the lake instead of changing the past

[covert imp]

@crisp jolt

so

[crisp jolt]

hii

[covert imp]

it has to be either

roots

paradox

or

the white door

I just can't select one

[crisp jolt]

oooh yeah my top favs are roots, paradise and paradox

[covert imp]

they all are very different

[crisp jolt]

i still haven't finished the white door

[covert imp]

paradise was cool

but it was quite hard

[crisp jolt]

true

[covert imp]

oooo you should play it

[crisp jolt]

alrighty i shall

[covert imp]

I liked hotel as well but

[crisp jolt]

cuz it's been on my desktop for weeks and i've opened it but never finished it

[covert imp]

there wasn't much to it except us killing the Eilander family

[covert imp]

god it's great

[crisp jolt]

wait the people were the eilanders?

[covert imp]

you really should play it

[covert imp]

yes their reincarnations

[velvet pier]

(i think they're refering to hotel)

[covert imp]

yes I am

[crisp jolt]

how did they reincarnate? was it with the sacrifice of the firstborn?

i thought that was just for the lake

[velvet pier]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[covert imp]

I think they also became immortal

[velvet pier]

william had to get 10 sacrifices from his family to reincarnate

[lament crescent]

why so many peoples say this? Paradise my first rusty lake game and I finish that without guides spending about 3-3.5 hours

[crisp jolt]

ooooh that would make some sense

[covert imp]

no no don't get me wrong

It is easy

but there are some levels

that I just can't solve

[crisp jolt]

hardest for me was the fog one the first time

[velvet pier]

yes

100%

[covert imp]

darkness?

[velvet pier]

locusts

[crisp jolt]

that one

[covert imp]

oh

[crisp jolt]

about the diseased livestock: the puzzle on the cow that each dot has a colour and only two dots have the same colour

what's the logic of that?

[lament crescent]

idk, I spend much more power to solve theatre or some roots levels

[velvet pier]

it was

match the shape to the color to the other shape

im not sure how to explain it

[crisp jolt]

imma pull the level up real quick to see

[velvet pier]

there are pairs of shapes and different pairs of color

[crisp jolt]

oooh i just saw the pair of colours

[velvet pier]

for me paradise feels hard overall, but you'll still figure it out eventually
wheras roots i could spend so long on one puzzle, but come back after 5min and realise it instantly

like paradise is hard overall
but roots you have to think differently

[crisp jolt]

oooooh i get it now i don't have to spend ages on that one thank you

[velvet pier]

nice

[covert imp]

exactlyyyy

like I got roots in like

[lament crescent]

lol I have 100% achievements in this game and didn't know about it

[covert imp]

an hour

[crisp jolt]

wait about the swiss gouda cheese achievment, how did you get that?

because someone told me to give the cheese to the father before making the burger but it never worked

[covert imp]

HUH WAIT

I WAS

BROWSING YOUTUBE

AND I SEE A

um

[velvet pier]

huh?

[covert imp]

some painting with harvey

annd

mr owl

[lament crescent]

idk you have a steam version?

[covert imp]

and the

corrupted souls

are

killing him or something

[crisp jolt]

yep

[covert imp]

how'd you get that

[velvet pier]

what

[crisp jolt]

wait what?

[velvet pier]

is that like the part in birthday or

[covert imp]

idk

there was

harvey

in human form

with mr owl

[velvet pier]

screenshot?

[covert imp]

not exactly human form but

the human-animal form

[lament crescent]

I can't remember exactly, but this is sound like just a bug

[crisp jolt]

oki thank you

[covert imp]

how do you get here

[velvet pier]

wait what the achievments have names

[velvet pier]

in the globe in birthday

[crisp jolt]

as far as i know yeah

[covert imp]

I think the game ended after you

[velvet pier]

use the code from hotel

[covert imp]

htel?

[crisp jolt]

ooooh yeah

[covert imp]

oh wait

[velvet pier]

hotel
you get a code once you get all stars

[crisp jolt]

in some games you get codes that can be used in other games

[velvet pier]

yes

[covert imp]

OH

[velvet pier]

actually most games you get codes for achievements in other games

[covert imp]

that is why I don't remember getting any code

I only got like

2 stars

[velvet pier]

oof

[covert imp]

on all dishes

[crisp jolt]

yeah some of the option ingredients you have to literally just play around to get them

like the blueberries for the pigeon wing

[velvet pier]

oh is this razz jazz's timeline

[covert imp]

yeah

[velvet pier]

nice

[covert imp]

I'm rewatching because

I didn't watch some of them

[velvet pier]

cool

[covert imp]

because I hadn't completed the games

I completed all of them yesterday

[crisp jolt]

wow all in one day

[covert imp]

no I meant I completed the last one yesterday

that was the hotel

[crisp jolt]

oooooh alright

do you want help to get three stars on all the dishes in hotel?

[covert imp]

yeah I think you need to kill them in some order

to

get the stuff

[velvet pier]

yeah

the basic formula is

1 optional ingredient in lobby
the other 2 ingredients in room

[lament crescent]

I can get you little prompt

[crisp jolt]

yep and for the last two dishes you have to have killed a specific someone before to get one of the ingredients

[velvet pier]

?

[covert imp]

who

[lament crescent]

in all levels you have third star with separate riddle, just find this

[covert imp]

yo wait is the hotel the end of the story

because

[velvet pier]

end of what story

[covert imp]

Dale finally comes up

the elevator

[crisp jolt]

like after you kill mrs pigeon you have to get her wine from the lobby for the pheasant recipe, and when you kill ms pheasant you get her wine from the lobby for the boar

[lament crescent]

all of them looks like riddles, but you can skip this

[covert imp]

HMMMMM

[velvet pier]

oh wow i never realised it was their wine
i thought it was just lying around lol

[crisp jolt]

yeah when you're introduced to them to give them their cocktail you see they were holding wine before

[covert imp]

haha

[velvet pier]

well
i think that's just setting up the cave and paradox

[crisp jolt]

but cave happened before hotel

[velvet pier]

oh wait what

[covert imp]

yes

[velvet pier]

but at the end of cave ||dale is where he is||

[covert imp]

yes because

[covert imp]

where who is

who is he

[velvet pier]

he is dale

im not exactly sure where that was

just another box

[covert imp]

inside the white cube

I think

[velvet pier]

yes

[covert imp]

that we see

[crisp jolt]

yep but in cave aldous is already mr crow but we see the guy become mr owl with the elixir

[covert imp]

at the end of hotel

[covert imp]

ye

[velvet pier]

i thought they just have to take the elixir every now and then to go animal

[crisp jolt]

also keep in mind that dale is time travelling with the elevator

[velvet pier]

ah

but what about owl

[covert imp]

I dont think so

I think he is just

visiting his memories

[velvet pier]

he's already owl at the end of paradise

[crisp jolt]

he's travelling through memories so it's in the past if its a memory

[crisp jolt]

he gets the elixir in the cave, making him mr owl

[velvet pier]

but also, he went from 1970s to 1893 for hotel

[covert imp]

his memories belong to the lake

so wait

if we’re talking about Dale

his story starts with

case 23

and then

[velvet pier]

but we see him at the end of paradise

im so confused

[covert imp]

he goes down the elevator

and then

he’s still there

in the cave

[crisp jolt]

paradise is before hotel, so cave is before paradise

[covert imp]

and then he’s coming up

in birthday

and

theatre

and whatever

[crisp jolt]

yep sort of

[covert imp]

and then he’s finally up

in the hotel

[crisp jolt]

but in the hotel we're playing as harvey in human-ish form

[covert imp]

how does that matter

we see dale in the elevator in the end

[crisp jolt]

ooooh true

[velvet pier]

im so confused now

[covert imp]

yeah

[velvet pier]

how does this work

[covert imp]

and that is as far as we know about dale

[covert imp]

because paradise island is

rusty lake hotel

[velvet pier]

yes

[covert imp]

when the island burns down

mr owl rebuilds it

[velvet pier]

but i mean

[covert imp]

as

rusty lake hotel

[velvet pier]

i thought cave is after roots

cause you still got james' imortal dog

[covert imp]

wait what about laura

[velvet pier]

and roots is after paradise

[covert imp]

no

can’t be

after roots

because

in the end of the cave

Laura is down there

and

in the end of roots

Laura is born

[crisp jolt]

cave is after roots tho

[covert imp]

so she couldn’t have been dead

if she was just born

[velvet pier]

yes
so cave is after roots

[covert imp]

cave is after roots yes

[crisp jolt]

wait i pulled up the cronological order to answer all our questions

[velvet pier]

thats what i was saying sorry

[covert imp]

I think the hotel is end of the story

I mean the story we know

so far

[velvet pier]

but its set in 1893

[covert imp]

so? is there any game set after that?

[velvet pier]

yes

[covert imp]

which one

[velvet pier]

most of dales story and lauras story

is set 1960~1970s

[covert imp]

then how is dale alive in roots

I mean

hotel

[covert imp]

OH YEA RIGHT

hm

[velvet pier]

no idea
it's rusty lake man

[covert imp]

where do we see the blue cube

like

apart from birthday

[velvet pier]

mr crow is in paradise
a few years before he's born

[covert imp]

the blue cube is the time cube

[velvet pier]

seasons?

[covert imp]

in winter?

[velvet pier]

actually i dont think we see the cube

but there was a reference like

BLUE CUBE + FIRE = ESCAPE MEMORY

[covert imp]

no that was the

[velvet pier]

of wait no we probably did see the cube

[covert imp]

black cube

[velvet pier]

there were 3

1 was blue cube

[covert imp]

black cube + fire = escape memory

[velvet pier]

something like that

hold on

[covert imp]

one of them had the blue cube yes

[velvet pier]

ok

[covert imp]

yes

blue cube + fire = escape memory

and then there is

cube + fire = escape memory

and

[velvet pier]

ah

[covert imp]

phone + fuel = change past

[crisp jolt]

im extremely confused it's saying that the guests of the hotel aren't the eilanders but it doesn't make sense

[covert imp]

who says the guests arent eilanders

[crisp jolt]

the cronological order on the game wiki

[velvet pier]

oh what

[covert imp]

HUH

wait

that can’t be

possible

they must be lying

[velvet pier]

lol

game wiki isnt official though right

just fanmade

[severe fog]

its just theories with more agrees

[velvet pier]

yes

[crisp jolt]

i think it's a mix of in-game info and theories

[velvet pier]

yes

[severe fog]

so no worries, u do u and they do they

[velvet pier]

cool

[severe fog]

plus rl will one day reveal all things they need to reveal

one day... .

[crisp jolt]

i really hope they do

[covert imp]

it’d be better if they don’t

that will always keep people wondering

[severe fog]

i mean i feel lime they will

when there arent any more games/lore to put in

[covert imp]

they might

but not until they’re done with all the games

[severe fog]

lime -> like

typos

[velvet pier]

uh oh

[severe fog]

yeye

[velvet pier]

well

i guess we wait

[crisp jolt]

i think it's nice that they let us wonder and make our own theories, but i do hope they reveal the truth once its all done

[severe fog]

until metro

[velvet pier]

yes

whatever that was

[severe fog]

yea

[covert imp]

my mathematics last night

to solve the puzzle in mr deers room

[velvet pier]

lol nice

[maiden phoenix]

I wish mathematics could help me solving the beaker problem in deers room

[flint shadow]

Reminds me of my notebook that was dedicated to only rusty lake games

[covert imp]

hahaha

[covert imp]

it actually can

[maiden phoenix]

I know it can but I cant

I am the problem here

[covert imp]

go study 💀

[maiden phoenix]

I am

[strange warren]

hello guys, Im new to the cube escape series and recently finished all the 10 games, is "the past within" a sequel to cube escape: paradox?

[strange warren]

because if it isnt i just didnt get what the cube escape ending is

[velvet pier]

i dont think the past within is a sequel to cube escape paradox

[haughty light]

It's safe to assume that it is not.

[velvet pier]

im pretty sure dale isn't going to be involved in any way

aside from maybe the occasional reference

[strange warren]

so cube escape paradox is the ending of the series or what?

[velvet pier]

well they'll probably release more cube escape games

just the past within isnt one

[strange warren]

hmm ok, thanks

[velvet pier]

although they did hint at a second game they are developing (we know little to nothing about that)

[strange warren]

I just wanted to know if im dumb and didnt understand the storyline or If there will be more games to explain it

[maiden phoenix]

u can never be certain

moth hint

[haughty light]

no one understands the storyline

dont worry about it

LMAO

[strange warren]

oh thanks lol

[haughty light]

or well thats probably unfair to say

we have #🤔｜theories for a reason

but no one but the devs know the real answers

[velvet pier]

true
but usually the premium games are about something other than the base cube escape storyline

[velvet pier]

who knows
maybe they dont even know the real answers

[maiden phoenix]

well I think u cant differentiate them in that way

[haughty light]

you cant,

[strange warren]

yeah but cube escape paradox was kinda of premium and was part of cube escape storyline

[haughty light]

Paradox chapter 2 is premium

[maiden phoenix]

paradox is premium

yes

[velvet pier]

oh yeah true

[maiden phoenix]

u guys think the cube metro is gonna be cube escape or no

[haughty light]

Im unsure

[velvet pier]

i hope it is

but again

very early

[haughty light]

I wouldnt b surprised if they moved away from the "cube escape" as a term and just focus on stuff being "rusty lake"

[velvet pier]

yeah

that would probably reduce confusion

[maiden phoenix]

I think the recent games are more prequels and sequels of cube escape series

[haughty light]

and non serialised games are probably easier to sell.

but take this statement with a grain of salt ^ just a personal opinion.

[velvet pier]

nice

[haughty light]

ye all the games are interconnected, but you can play Paradise Hotel and Roots just as a standalone experience

you dont need deeper knowledge.

if they were to realise "cube escape 100" one would assume theyd have to play cube escape 1 - 99 firstm I guess!

or well *could assume

[velvet pier]

and even having that knowledge
doesnt change the fact that i have no idea whats going on

[haughty light]

that concludes "Damys thoughts on the naming convention of indie point and click games"

[velvet pier]

nice

[maiden phoenix]

tbh the paradox endings make the Cube Escape series a sort of ending

[haughty light]

it does, im inclined to agree with that.

[velvet pier]

it does?

[covert imp]

it's going to be related to roots

[velvet pier]

i thought it just kinda ends with dale infinitely going through that room

[maiden phoenix]

it gives me this impression after playing twd

[covert imp]

that I know for sure

I didn't see mr owl anywhere in the demo

I did see mr crow tho

[velvet pier]

the game's about albert right

thats roots

[maiden phoenix]

||He owns the pc||

[velvet pier]

ooh

[covert imp]

yes albert and rose

[covert imp]

😂

[maiden phoenix]

[covert imp]

the past brain

oh no

wait

this is the

future brain

[velvet pier]

actually you're right it does
it's just not a very happy ending
||(does the secret in chapter 1 count as 'happy'?)||

well

[maiden phoenix]

I mean the sacrifice had to be made either way

[velvet pier]

time to go replay all of the games

[maiden phoenix]

sacrifice isnt happy

[velvet pier]

sad
one or the other

actually is laura's death in paradox even her death

[covert imp]

I still don't understand why Laura had to die

[maiden phoenix]

its a debatable matter

probably not suitable discussing too deep here

[velvet pier]

sure

[covert imp]

I mean if William had to die as Laura then Aldous shouldn't have sacrificed him

[velvet pier]

oh bruh

[maiden phoenix]

#🤔｜theories is a nice place lets discuss there

[velvet pier]

cool

hey does hotel have any achievements other than getting all the stars

[maiden phoenix]

there are

[velvet pier]

because i only have it on mobile and there doesnt seem to be any others

is that just steam

[maiden phoenix]

I aint sure

@haughty light

[haughty light]

its just stars on mobile im pretty sure,.

id check it out in dpeth but im busy

[velvet pier]

damn

[maiden phoenix]

sorry for the @

[haughty light]

np np

if I was busy busy I simply owuildnt respond LMAO

[velvet pier]

nice

i wonder what would happen if i just do the achievement anyways
does nothing just happen

[covert imp]

oh also Damy if you're seeing this I followed you on twitter

[covert imp]

I don't think it affects the story in any way

[velvet pier]

yeah just looking for extra content

i still have to go 100% paradise

[covert imp]

oh hahah

[haughty light]

now that is a big mistake, but it does explain the random follow

[covert imp]

how is that a mistake

I don't see

[paper rune]

I think I'm about to buy the white door and paradise 😏

[haughty light]

heck ye! enjoy

[paper rune]

I'm currently screeching with excitement and playing through all the games rn

[haughty light]

Nice!

[weak hare]

i just bought it after my samsara room play through

[haughty light]

Heck ye!

[cunning nymph]

Can't wait till the past within

[haughty light]

haha same here!

[lament crescent]

buy all, quest culture need new blood

[haughty light]

while I would definitely reccomend getting all the games, please dont spend if you're financially not capable!

[lament crescent]

Mr Crow like next world emperor

[paper rune]

I did very much do so and I also got paradox ch 2

Now I have stocked up on new for me

[lament crescent]

what is the price rusty lake bundle? with regional prices I spend about 8 dollars for all

[haughty light]

probably depends on regional prices, inflation, etc, etc.

[lament crescent]

of course

[cunning nymph]

Paradox chapter two is actually imo my top 2 rusty lake game

I made a list of my top 4 favourite rusty lake games

1. Theatre
2. Roots
3. Paradox
4. The mill

Birthday is at top 5

[lament crescent]

Ok

1. Paradice
2. Roots
3. White door
4. Cave
5. Paradox chapter 2

[paper rune]

I really like birthday too

[lament crescent]

birthday has a good plot, but I don't like riddles in this game

[paper coyote]

White Door! Always great to see in the top tier 🥰

[elder trail]

Hello! I’m new!!

So I was like “no one to share my hyperfixation with”

[lament crescent]

[lament crescent]

[haughty light]

No.

[covert imp]

yall

I had a question

what game is this from

[haughty light]

a new one!

[covert imp]

tpw?

[haughty light]

Nah

new new.

[covert imp]

OH ANOTHER?

oml

[haughty light]

yes

[covert imp]

I thought it was tpw because of Rose but DAMN

AND IT'S COMING OUT THIS YEAR???

GOD

THANK YOU

[haughty light]

we

re eating good this latter half of the year haha

[covert imp]

SURE ARE!

oh um

I saw a

fan edit

of rusty lake

and

it had a green vial

in the paradox part

anf

and

is there a green vial?

I've only ever seen the red and blue

[haughty light]

there is a green vial.

[covert imp]

HUH

where

[haughty light]

secret ending, you'll have to watch the movie

[covert imp]

I've only ever seen the blue and red

[covert imp]

wait I have watched the movie but I must've forgot

I'll watch it again

[haughty light]

and again,

and again.

[covert imp]

HM

I did see the vial

but

he didn't drink it

so what happens if he does

will we ever know?

[haughty light]

youll just have to find the secret in game.

[covert imp]

WAIT WE CAN ACTUALLY DRINK IT IN GAME?

okay give me a hint

what chapter

[haughty light]

I think both chapters have a secret tied to the movie

I dont know if both have the green vial, though.

[covert imp]

oh

hm

okay

[silent yacht]

Does anyone know if rusty lakes games have copyrights?

[haughty light]

Considering theyre products that are sold I think the safe answer is yes.

[silent yacht]

I guess yeah

Minecraft music doesnt have copyrights tho

but idk u probably know better than me

[haughty light]

haha im actually not very well versed when it comes to Copyright law

why are you asking?

[silent yacht]

I would love to put it as the background music of my youtube videos

[haughty light]

ahh like that. well early RL music is kevin mcleods so that should b safe bc im confident thats royalty free music.

[silent yacht]

ohhh

[haughty light]

I cant speak for their more recent original music, I wouldnt wanna give you false information haha

you could try to contact other RL content creators on youtube to see what they get up to?

[silent yacht]

i ran one of the season levels music trough a copyright checker and it said the music is allowed to use

but i think its just cus its the early music

[haughty light]

aye

[silent yacht]

oh ok yeah you were right. Victor Butzelaars music is copyrighted

[haughty light]

ye that would make sense

[covert imp]

I had another question

is mr deer nicholas eilander or albert vanderboom

[haughty light]

the one in hotel? probably Eilander considering thats before alberts time.

I dont think Albert has an animal form, although he does of course wear the skull.

[unreal timber]

yeah he just wears the skull!

[maiden phoenix]

Albert and Mr Deer were both alive for a certain time so that means they cant be the same person

their existence overlaps

[covert imp]

in case 23 I mean

who is it in case 23

nicholas or albert

[maiden phoenix]

most likely Mr deer /j

probably nicholas

[covert imp]

I think it was nicholas too

[covert imp]

also wait how is it before Albert’s time?

because

Dale is alive in hotel so

[maiden phoenix]

I doubt if he remembers himself being nicholas

[covert imp]

it has to be way after Albert was born and died

[haughty light]

I doubt Dale was alive at the time of the events of Hotel

anyway clearly the Deer corrupted soul in case23 is Dale

I will not elaborate

[covert imp]

yes

because mr deer seems to be

theorising about the lake

[covert imp]

WAIT WHAT

clearly??? 🤨🤨🤨

[maiden phoenix]

he was seen doesnt mean he was there

it seems to be a prophecy

[covert imp]

wait so

if

Dale is the

deer corrupted soul

and

the deer corrupted soul is also visible in

hotel

so

is it possible that

Dale is

dead?

[haughty light]

nah Dale is very much alive considering the end of the Cave

[maiden phoenix]

oh gosh Damy u just confused him

[covert imp]

but you just said that the deer corrupted soul is Dale

[haughty light]

ah uh

[covert imp]

and to become a corrupted soul you have to be dead or have to had your memories extracted

[haughty light]

I am of the opinion that ones soul can leave their body, even if its just for brief moments.

I doubt its one many share, though

[covert imp]

how could he be looking at his own soul

[maiden phoenix]

mirror

[haughty light]

perhaps its more symbolical; perhaps its confronting the deep twisted self.

either way if you want to go deeper into this I ask you move to #🤔｜theories

[covert imp]

oh

hm

[haughty light]

getting a bit too deep here i reckon.

[maiden phoenix]

indeed

[paper rune]

I THOUGHT ROOTS WAS NIGHTMARE FUEL

PARADISE

The little brother freaks me out

[covert imp]

David?

[paper rune]

Yeah I think that's his name

Nasty frog eater

I was streaming it to my friends after playing the cave and we were cackling cause homie..

[covert imp]

yes that's him

[covert imp]

LMAO

[paper rune]

No because I always say something stupid when I play the games right

And ofc I've never played through paradise

[covert imp]

oh

you should!

it was quite a hard experience for me but

[paper rune]

I'm sitting here calling David a nasty little arse and then calling him sus cause like

[covert imp]

still you should

[paper rune]

"You killed my favorite plague" 🤨

Then mans went fly guy

[covert imp]

HAHAHA

the flies plague was probably the hardest for me

because of the

lobster shell thingy

god

that was so hard

[lyric gull]

I figured out a way to play the games in true chronological (wiki timeline) order could i post it in this chat

[haughty light]

you're free to share that here if you wish

you wouldnt b the first to put together a playthrough order though!

@grave dove Rusty Lakes youtube channel has all videos, theres aLSO #rusty-lake-hotel-roots-paradise-help if youd rather not watch videos.

[lyric gull]

Chronological play through route (wiki timeline) (Spoilers) ||(Before starting the run): play through roots making backups before the levels: “graveyard” “last dance” and “roots”, after that beat roots and collect all the coins but dont play the bonus level, unlock the snowglobe in birthday, have at least the 6th dream in the white door unlocked, go into the 5th dream and do the requirments for the achievment until the case 23 flashback, make sure every other game is fully reset.||
||chronological route: play all of paradise, play the bonus level in roots then reset roots, play roots chronologically from “the tree” to “masks”, play arles, play roots chronologically from “the clock” too “the search”, play all of rusty lake hotel, go to birthday and put “1894” into the snowglobe and do the cutscene, reset birthday, play roots from “the wedding photo” too “communication”, (“1:” means “The Well part 1” and “2:” means “The Well part 2”) 1: send up note, 2: receive note and send down bucket, 1: send code for drink, 2: give drink, 1: send code for food, 2: give food, 1: send code for stick, 2: give stick, finish part 1, finish part 2, continue roots chronologically from “checkmate” to “the stars”, load backup for “graveyard” and beat it, load backup for “the last dance” and beat it, load backup for “roots” and beat it up until william becomes the baby, play all of samsara room, finish roots, play birthday until mr rabbit shoots dales family, reset birthday, play spring in seasons, play the first dream in the white door, play all of Harvey’s box, play all of The Lake, play summer in Seasons, play dream 2 then 3 in the white door, play fall in seasons, play either case 23 or mill up until the part with the phone call then play the other game up until the phone call part, finish chapter 1 of Case 23, play theatre up until giving rob the bloody mary, play dream 4 in The White Door, finish theatre then reset it|| (1/2)

||play case 23 until putting the cubes in the tv (during the part with robert play the flashback part of dream 5 in the white door), interact with the tv in mill, finish case 23 chapter 2, finish the mill, finish case 23, play dreams 5 and 6 in the white door then reset it, play all of the white door including the basement, play all of the cave, play cube escape paradox chapter 1 and 2 and much as you like but at least get the normal ending in both and the green vial ending in chapter 1, get the golden cube ending in paradox chapter 2, play all of birthday, play all of theatre, finish seasons|| (2/2)

[oblique blaze]

I'm gonna do this and record it sometime

I like complicated play orders

[lyric gull]

Woah

[haughty light]

haha ye this does seem like fun

[oblique blaze]

Why the resets and backups, out of curiosity?

also how do I save a backup

[lyric gull]

||in roots “the last dance” takes place after “graveyard” but it is unlocked before||

[lyric gull]

Copy the folder in appdata

[oblique blaze]

AH

[lyric gull]

If you are on mac then idk

[oblique blaze]

I'm not, I play on my phone and PC

I have all games on both and I believe I also unlocked Chapter 2 of Paradise on both

[lyric gull]

I dont think you can do it on phone but on windows yeah

[oblique blaze]

Vibes

It's actually kinda funny how many times over I've bought these games

Please take all my money, RL

[lyric gull]

Yeah me too lol

[oblique blaze]

Cause I had an iPhone before this and had all the games on that

[velvet pier]

chapter 1 is the one with the green vial

the game itself gives hints as to how to get in in a certain tab (||achievements||)

[grave dove]

Hii

[haughty light]

heya Kun o/

[grave dove]

How r u

[haughty light]

O im alright, but small talk like this is definitely better suited for #🛖｜the-cabin !

be sure to read the #✅｜rules if you havent.

[grave dove]

sorry

[haughty light]

all good!

[mint robin]

I am one of the original Cube Escape fans.

I discoverd the series in 2015.

[haughty light]

Ha, Same here

[mint robin]

I even played the original Samsara room before Cube Escape came out.

[haughty light]

ye I feel you!

[mint robin]

After 7 years I love the Series as much as I did back then.

[alpine folio]

does 2018-19 count?

[haughty light]

it shouldnt matter.

a fans a fan.

ofc there is something cool about being able to say uve been w/ RL since the start haha

[alpine folio]

wait when was seasons released?

[haughty light]

apr 27 2015.

[clear meadow]

I think I roughly started playing in 2016-ish

there were a few games out by then, but not many

[alpine folio]

damn the devs been doing this for 7yrs

[grave dove]

When 'The Past Within' is comin?

[haughty light]

Later this year

[grave dove]

and would that be free or paid?

[clear meadow]

paid

[haughty light]

Paid

[grave dove]

oh

[clear meadow]

it's rarely expensive tho, so I doubt you'd be spending much XD

[grave dove]

I Remember, that rusty lake on their youtube community section post about Rusty Lake theme park. Would that be next game after past within?

[haughty light]

no that was an april fools joke

[grave dove]

oh

Ig past within has a demo version also

[haughty light]

ye just on steam atm.

[grave dove]

will the game Past within available on android or pc or all on both

will be*

[haughty light]

both

PC mobile n switch iirc

[grave dove]

thats amazing but if they would make the game free , that will be more nice to a student like me lol

[haughty light]

it's hard to make games if you can't feed yourself.

[grave dove]

Correct

[haughty light]

Hence why its a good thing that the game is a premium product.

I understand financial situations may not allow you to purchase it on launch but in that case I suggest keeping your eyes open for potential giveaways.

[grave dove]

yea just like Rusty Lake Hotel got free for completing 6 year anniversary in 2021

[haughty light]

that too.

[grave dove]

[grave dove]

sorry but i didnt understood bout last line, i mean i didnt understood keeping you eyes open for potential giveaways

[haughty light]

sometimes the devs host giveaways for steam keys

so if you cant afford the game you coulkd try to win it.

[grave dove]

Oh cool

thank you

[paper rune]

Which game seems to be the most difficult for you all?

It hsed to be Paradox for me cause thst was the first rusty lake game I ever played and I never finished it until

Well

Today

I'm playing ch 2 rn

But I think the hardest is Paradise with all those achievements n stuff... like it was easy but at the same time.. very not

[haughty light]

mhm paradise is pretty tricky indeed, currently replaying it haha

[paper coyote]

Paradise and Paradox chapter 2 lol

[paper rune]

Yeah ch 2 has me stumped right now too

[paper coyote]

It just took me way too long to understand the logic of one certain puzzle. Like I finished the games thrice by that time and was still asking myself for how it works lol

Wont spoil you the puzzle for now though 😅

[indigo turtle]

The cave always gave me headaches with the submarine stuff and the spider puzzle

[paper rune]

"This coffee is... too bitter"
Well sir, I made it with my brain juice

[paper rune]

I do agree the spider puzzle had me losing it for awhile, especially when I was trying to get it perfect

[paper coyote]

Submarine itself would be in my “top hardest rl games” but the first cave chapter including spider puzzle was fun 😅

[indigo turtle]

What makes the submarine so frustrating is too many steps to move it

But it seems realistic idk

I've never been on a submarine before but because of the cave I'm convinced that is how it works 💀

Also I could never figure out the puzzles for the coordinates and always needed a guide or walk through

And the octopus ink puzzle never made sense to me so I clicked randomly until it worked

[paper coyote]

Same but it’s like way better than the hotel water puzzle so it’s fine for me

Was even fun at some point of replays lol

[worldly gazelle]

I think that the water puzzle in hotel is the puzzle that took me more time of the all puzzles in rl games

[paper coyote]

Which is fair

Bcs that puzzle is uh

Is just that puzzle. See I even compare other puzzles to this one to see if they’re hard lol

[worldly gazelle]

It seriously took me around 10 minutes because i didn't want to give up and watch a guide lol

I was always returning to the start somehow

[paper rune]

I might be thinking of the wrong puzzle but the one where you had to make a poison?

[paper coyote]

Well it is in the deer’s room

[worldly gazelle]

The puzzle you had to do to get the exact amount of water to make that drink

[paper coyote]

But not quite about poison yes

[paper rune]

I'm pretty sure that one made me cry fr 😭

[mint robin]

Yes it does count. But that means your not one or the original fans.

[past inlet]

who cares bro

fans are fans

[haughty light]

ye this^

[lyric gull]

The requirements to be a TRUE RUSTY LAKE FAN😡

1. You “know” what rusty lake is
2. You like rusty lake

[paper coyote]

What is rusty lake, I only know rust?

[paper rune]

What is rust 🧍🏾‍♀️

[simple drum]

True rusty lake fans meet up at a wendy's parking lot at 3 pm with fursona masks to sacrifice the weakest of the group

[paper rune]

BWAHA

[paper coyote]

You’d better not know…

[lyric gull]

Shhhh

Dont tell anyone

Time for the weekly rusty lake replay

Idk how they made puzzle games so replayable

[paper coyote]

Just regular rusty lake stuff

[tiny egret]

U guys rlly replay that over and over ????

[dull parcel]

And over again

[hidden sphinx]

Does anyone have any RL pfps?

[lyric gull]

Its a curse

[tiny egret]

:0

[velvet pier]

change the past

[severe fog]

very normal for people here

[severe fog]

true fans:
1 knows complete lore
2 buys and plays all the games (no cracks)
3 no hint first run
4 likes the games

[velvet pier]

nice

5 has balanced the substance of their past lives
6 has found 10 sacrifices and 3 timepieces from their family tree
7 knows what to do
8 made the right choice

[paper coyote]

I insist the “knows what to do” line should be first in any variation of this list lol

[paper coyote]

I think nothing can beat this post for RL pfps #📯｜rl-announcements message

[elder trail]

Hey I was wondering if anyone could send me a link to the complete RL lore-

[haughty light]

There's no such thing^

But there are some extended lore posts on the subreddit

[maiden phoenix]

do you guys think Dale was partially corrupted before Cave machine connected to Dale

[haughty light]

Im inclined to think that his corruption started at his birthday.

so ye lol

[maiden phoenix]

(its not theories I think, plus here has more traffic)

[maiden phoenix]

I got confused by this as I think

we all assume he was partially corrupted but where did it indicate so

[haughty light]

I guess it doesnt anywhere? I just assume anyway with a shitload of trauma is probably corrupted to some extent

which would include Dale due to birthday / seeing stuff as a detective.

[maiden phoenix]

thats my thought as well

[cunning nymph]

Absolutely

[cunning nymph]

The last one maybe not

[elder trail]

The best Rusty Lake ship is Albert x Psych Ward 🥰

[west fulcrum]

Name a more iconic duo

[elder trail]

The second the game said to give him wine I knew he was fucked

[clear meadow]

same

[elder trail]

Wait hold on

The triplets were born in 1898 right?

[west fulcrum]

100% when I first played through I thought this was blood 😂

[elder trail]

Oh 1867

[maiden phoenix]

April 26th

[paper rune]

RIGHT LMAOO LIKE

[grave dove]

In samsara room, i've cleared the Shrimp level and collected the elixer and they said to me that they will give me special prize for founding that elixer. what will be the prize?

[past inlet]

i dont remember

but i think the contest ended

[paper rune]

I think it was an old event or smth

Yeah

[grave dove]

yes i cleared that level in 2020 but forgot about that

What would have been the prize , any guesses?

[maiden phoenix]

maybe postcard?

or game keys

maybe Damy knows

[grave dove]

oh who is damy

[paper tiger]

@haughty light

[paper rune]

The.. the mod luv

[maiden phoenix]

I kinda dont want to @ him because he is probably busy

but anyway

[paper tiger]

maybe but why not

[maiden phoenix]

or maybe Noflavor could answer that

if we are lucky enough

[grave dove]

lol

[maiden phoenix]

Damy probably wont memorise every contest prize neither

[grave dove]

thank u anyway

[maiden phoenix]

perhaps read channel description is a good idea

[paper coyote]

Maybe it was a Samsara Shrimp T-shirt

And/or the postcard

There’s actually a blog mentioning it
https://blog.rustylake.com/update-from-the-lake-new-t-shirts-cube-escape-collection-more/

[velvet pier]

cool

[inner shore]

heyy!

[haughty light]

heya @inner shore o/ welcome to the server! make sure to read the #✅｜rules if you get the chance.

[paper rune]

Yeah the. Paradox ch 2 got me trembling with fear a but

Bit*

Wasn't even terrifying it's just like

[haughty light]

if you need help you're free to just ask your questions in french in one of the help channels!

cant promise a response in your language though.

[haughty light]

aslong as ur 13+ ur good.

[cunning nymph]

I wonder if Robert hill and dale vandermeer had anything in common

[haughty light]

they were in the police station together at some point, they both met at the same theatre, they both knew laura

[clear meadow]

medical institutions

a complicated relationship with cubes

[severe fog]

yea

funny how therebarent any rubix cubes in rl

[dull parcel]

They get drunk, courtesy of mr crow

[fiery island]

While playing ch 1 of paradox, I filled in the picture puzzle using an actual Wacom tablet. Makes scribbling with a pencil much easier than with a mouse

[haughty light]

haha cool!

[cunning nymph]

Also

I noticed

Mrs pheasant and the lady of the lake wear the same dress?

[severe fog]

idk

she ||suicides(ish?)|| in hotel tho

[fiery island]

You know what the room in Paradox reminds me of? The Hotel room at the end of ||2001: A Space Odyssey||

[severe fog]

y

[velvet pier]

i think it says in the theatre card in her hotel room that she's playing the lady of the lake
kinda weird how she wears the same dress playing mr crow and owl though

[potent shard]

It doesn’t really matter tho, because the dress changes into whatever Mr. Crow and Mr. Owl are wearing anyway

[lyric gull]

Is there any way to get the paradox comic?

[velvet pier]

paradox comic?

[lyric gull]

Yeah

Ik it was sold out

But like is there still any way to acsess it

[hybrid portal]

ummm....why cannot i get into mentalhealthandfishing site?

[velvet pier]

#the-white-door-help message

it went down or something

try using the archive link or the wayback machine

[cunning nymph]

Do we know if

||frank and Leonard are dead?||

||only because when they are tied up it seems that rose is the only one that escapes?||

[velvet pier]

||i thought rose also got tangled up at the end inside the clock or something||

(spoilers to rusty lake roots ending)

[cunning nymph]

||i saw on wiki rusty lake that only Frank and Leonard had deceased? on their profile and rose is apparently alive still||

[clear meadow]

||Rose went into the clock, which is a... teleporter of sorts.|| Though you might get better details in #🤔｜theories

[cunning nymph]

Thank you

[unreal timber]

Also a reminder to take everything in the wiki with a grain of salt

Its written by fans aswell

[covert imp]

HM

do you know that definitely or are you just guessing like the others

[haughty light]

its all guessing all the way down by anyone except the devs 😉

[clear meadow]

Technically it's all guesswork, but clocks have been used to transport people around soooooo

In a game like this, everything that isn't outright said is pure speculation. And sometimes even the outright stuff isn't as simple as "it's like X and Y"

[haughty light]

yep! lol

[clear meadow]

especially since the whole point is to confuse, horrify and bewilder XD

[covert imp]

this.

this is what confuses me.

[clear meadow]

I mean... it's a surreal horror game. It's not supposed to make sense

[covert imp]

I always seem to think that I'm not looking at the bigger picture but then maybe there is no bigger picture.

[indigo turtle]

Contact the mods about this
