Cube Escape: Paradox is the tenth game in the Cube Escape series. It was developed alongside a short film of the same name, and was released on September 20th, 2018. Despite being a Cube Escape game, and not one of the separate Rusty Lake titles, this game is available on paid services and contains a second chapter of DLC, which must be purchased. The first chapter does not.
In this game you play as Dale Vandermeer, who is trapped in an ominous room without any recollection of his past. Dale must solve increasingly challenging puzzles to escape the room and recover his memories.
When the infamous detective Dale Vandermeer wakes up in an ominous room without any recollection of his past, he soon finds himself part of a bizarre game orchestrated by an old foe. Dale must solve increasingly challenging puzzles to escape the room and recover his memories.
You will wake up in the same room, but soon this new story will take some suprising turns. Chapter 2 contains numerous fresh and more challenging puzzles. You will encounter old friends and enemies. Go deeper into your mind, learn more about the meaning of "Paradox" and discover the fate of Dale Vandermeer.
Paradox: A Rusty Lake Film will be released together with the accompanying game: Cube Escape: Paradox. In this unique crossover you follow detective Dale Vandermeer who needs to escape the room in parallel universes. Both game and the short film will be connected in various ways: find secret symbols, unlock multiple endings and above all experience the same room in different ways.

I love this series so much!!! These games are so distinct and unique. It's the perfect combination of mysterious and surreal that scratches my brain in a very pleasing way. The puzzles can take a while to figure out, but it's so satisfying once you finally fit the pieces together. The art is so cool and I love the convoluted symbolism that is used in the game. It makes interpreting the overarching story so much fun!
Great game in a series of them !! An exciting mix of surreal puzzle solving and exciting logic chains that perfectly pace play. I feel like it's one of the best puzzle games for establishing and maintaining an internal logic that's just as entertaining to learn as it is to succeed at. I do have a small question: I purchased yesterday (itch says one day ago so that might count as longer) for $2.00 USD, and the page says that for paying over $1.49 USD I should have chapter two, but it isn't available in my downloads. Am I missing something?
Absolutely cannot get over how amazing this is. Every game is breathtaking and the puzzles keep your mind wandering! Amazing game. Very unique and refreshing from all the other games I have played. Absolutely love the idea of the film and the game!
Hey, just checking if there's anything going on with the Windows file? I tried launching and it just sticks there blinking rapidly on what I guess is the intro screen where Rusty Lake types out over the landscape. I can't get past that into the actual game. Reinstalling didn't help. Am I missing something?
Absolutely brilliant, as usual! I've played all the Rusty Lake/Cube Escape games, and bought every premium game thus far. I'm fascinated with the saga of the Vanderboom and Eilander families. Truly excellent storyline and gameplay that keeps you thinking.
Hello! Must I say that this game was an absolute blast to play! I went into it expecting nothing but a mediocre indie game, But, I can safely say that my false judgements were pleasantly thrown back at me and crushed . . . I loved the game and would reccommend it to anyone who would like to play it! I am Looking forward to more in the future, and goodluck in your future projects!
This game was awesome. I have only played Chapter 1, but I plan on playing Chapter 2 and watching the short film very soon. Great game, and keep up the good work guys. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Detalhes Yes, they are. I think the first one is Cube Escabe: Arles.. The one with Van Gogh. There are also 3 extra games, but they are paid ones (Rusty Lake Paradise, Rusty Lake Hotel and Rusty Lake Roots)
Look beneath the TV and plug in the right cable. Back out and turn right. Open the red curtain to find Harvey, then look in the mirror to see that you are a bit cold. Next examine the dresser and open the left box to find a key. Look at the puzzle box on the right and slide the tiles around until they match the engravings beneath them. Open this box and take out a photo piece (1/5).
Back out and turn right again. Look at the framed painting on the wall and take another photo piece (2/5). Look at the set of drawers on the left and take the cigar. Look at the set of drawers on the right and examine the flyer - flip it over to see the message "Not the blue vial".
Back out and turn right once more. Flip the light switch up. Take the jacket from the hanger, then look at the drawers on the left. Take the scissors, photo piece (3/5) and pencil from the unlocked drawers. Use your key on the bottom drawer, then open it and take out a wooden cube. Use your scissors on the plant to the right to get a twig.
Back out and turn right, then take the next photo piece (4/5) from the left light. Turn right and look in the mirror again. Give the jacket to your reflection, then give it the cigar. Look down at the dresser and put the wooden cube into the left slot Wooden Cube.
Back out and turn around twice, then pick up the final photo piece (5/5) from the floor. Turn left and insert all of these pieces into the photo frame on the left drawers. Slot them together, then look at the back to see an image of a typewriter and the phrase "the woman". Back out and turn right, then examine the typewriter and type "the woman". Use your pencil to color in the man, then the door, then the woman, the blade, and finally the key. Take the key.
Back out and turn right. Use the key on the tall dresser to the right. Look up and open the evidence folder, then take the cassette tape, slide and newspaper article. Take the grip from just below the evidence folder, and notice the books on this shelf. On the shelf below, turn on the slide projector and insert your slide.
Turn around twice. Attach the grip to the hook on the screen so you can pull it down. Take the photo from the top of the screen. Line up the outline of the mirror, and you will see a white circle around the Roman numeral IV, and a dot on the mirror. Next line up the outline of the left light, and you will see a white circle around the Roman numeral V, and a cross on a frame. Turn right and examine the small clock. Set the time to 4:25, then take the matches. Next examine the cassette player here. Press the eject button and insert the cassette tape. Close it and press play to hear "enin xis xis lennahc", which is "channel six six nine" backwards.
Back out and turn around twice. Look in the mirror and use your matches to light the cigar. Click on your reflection repeatedly to see a series of 5 symbols. Turn left and open the cupboard door beneath the projector, then enter the 5 symbols you have just seen (circle with dot, S, square with line, Z, spiral). Take out the tape.
Back out and look beneath the TV. Use the tape on the broken cable, then plug it in. Examine the TV and use the dials to change to channel 669, then press the square button. As per the instructions, view channel 012, then channel 067. You will see an image of the typewriter and the phrase "the lake". Back out and turn left, then examine the typewriter and type "the lake". Use your scissors on the paper, then drag the bottom up until you can read "call 14335".
Back out and turn left, then use the phone to dial the number 14335 (drag from each number clockwise). Go through the conversation until you are told to "look through the keyhole". Back out and turn right, then look through the keyhole and you will see an image on Laura's eye. Look at the clock and set the time to 12:45. Take the triangle key.
Turn around twice and take the burning cigar from the mirror. Turn right and look at the left drawers. Unlock the drawers with the triangle key. Look for the following authors of the books from the shelf:
Also find the file for Laura Vanderboom and take the prescription. Back out and unlock the right drawers with the triangle key. Search these drawers to find slide 2 and a handkerchief. Turn around twice and look at the books in the shelf. Arrange them according to the order of the symbols on the files (as listed above). Now flip through the last book and take the glass eye and iron cube.
Put slide 2 into the slide projector. Turn right and insert the iron cube into the right slot on the dresser Iron Cube. Turn right and drag the projector screen upwards. You will see that the projector now gives you the message TV 588 on the left, and it also circles 5 objects in the image, with associated symbols. Turn around twice and view channel 588 on the TV, which shows these same 5 objects in a specific order. Look at the lower left cupboard and enter a new series of 5 symbols based on this order (upside-down T, Z, triangle with line, square with line, S). Take out the globe key. Use this on the globe to the left, then examine the globe.
