Cube Escape: The Lake Walkthrough [Rusty Lake] 

Don't you just hate when you cut open a fish and a tree grows out of it

Who ever get through the whole game without watching this walkthrough is a genius

You should consider making a horror movie based on Rusty lake, will really like to watch it

You still have 1 thing that you haven't used. It is the case with words "remember the seasons". Without it,you still finish the game,but if you open the case,the ending will change. "The seasons" here is the first chapter in series Rusty Lake. You know 3 timelines there:1964,1971 and 1981. But it still has 1 number,1487,which you used to open the safe.With this pass,you can open the case and get a green diamond. Change the blue diamond with the green diamond,you have a different ending. If you use the blue diamond,a shadow will attack you in the end,but if you use the green,the shadow can't attack you because of a shield and you still alive

the mirror box is a math equation, the symbols are 6, 2, 3 and 7 mirrored back to back, it is asking you to times 237 by 6, which gives the answer 1422, which you put in as the mirrored numbers.

Everything is connected! The order doesn't really matter, but just in case u wanna know, 1) Seasons 2) The Lake 3) Arles 4) Harvey's box 5) Case 23 6) The Mill 7) Birthday 8) Theatre

I was playing this and that hand from the water scared me so much.

Cube Escape: The Lake written walkthrough - Thanks to Alisha! Collect the wire, and the fishing pole. Click on the table with the handled drawer. Open the drawer and collect the knife. Zoom out. Look up. Collect the bandage-looking insect. Back down and turn right. Collect the piece of paper on top of the window frame. Turn right. Collect the hook. Open the left cabinet drawer. Collect the crowbar. Turn right. Set up the fishing rod on the post. Add the wire (fishing line). Click the end of the rope and add the fishing hook. Bait the line with the insect. Zoom out. Click the line to cast it. Reel in 3 times. Collect the shrimp. Return to the starting view. Click on the table. Put the shrimp on the table. Chomp it in half with the knife. Collect the key and the shrimp head. Zoom out. Use the key to open the top drawer of the cabinet. Retrieve the magnet and worm. Go fishing again, same as you did previous, using the worm as bait. Collect the fish. Go back to your starting view. Put the fish on the cutting board. Click on the fish 14 times with the knife. Zoom out. Click on the tree. Look at the piece of paper you picked up earlier. Zoom out. Go fishing once again with the shrimp head. Click on the hand to pull the form out of the lake. Using the knife, cut the closest shoulder blade open and collect the apple (5 clicks) Back to the starting point. Using the crowbar, pry open the board above the cabinet, with a sharp line.

Collect the key and the two chests. Back to your starting point. Use the key to open the lower cabinet. Collect the coin. Examine the darker green chest. If you played Cube Escape: Seasons (and read my walkthrough), you'll know the safe combination is the same for ALL THE SAFES. It applies now. Go ahead and open it, if you know the code. Collect the secret inside of it. If you didn't open the safe with the secret code, or you're done, (zoom out), click on the tree. Look at your piece of paper. The placement of the items is written there. Put the items in their places. Take a look at the light green chest (the first on you pulled out of the lake.) Crack the code. Hint think halves. Enter in the code (if you don't feel like thinking, it's 6X237=1,422) Add the gem in its position. (For those who have the secret item, I suggest doing the original and switching it in after) Zoom out. Go back fishing. Collect the magnet and bait the line with the mold. Collect the shell. Turn right. Add the shell in the final spot. Go back to your cold fishing spot. Click 5 times. Click once more to end the game. (Essentially you just died) FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THE CODE FROM SEASONS Click 'Main Menu' Click play. Be relieved you don't have to start over. Go back to the tree. Switch the original gem, for your secret one. Back to the scary thing. Click four times to evaporate it into a cube. Collect the cube. Congratulations you changed your fate

I hate that Pixel Guy he scares the scronk outta me

Thanks for playing Cube Escape: The Lake! Need a quick hint? Join our Discord channel: discord.gg/rustylake and ask a fellow Rusty Lake fan for help!

+Rusty Lake, I not understand, as it found the secret of code of mirror? What is the meaning of that code?

Damnnnn just imagine playing these on vr

the code from season was1487 which worked for me! fishing at the lake u get 2 coded safe's one asks u add the code from season and the other from the case written mirror, so if u use the white / grey one makes the star once u add to the tree as shown in the paper diagram and the dark power kills u but if u add the green gem u block the power out n Ur still alive! I absolutely love these games by rusty lake! have played them back to back!

omg, . . . that freaked me out, at the hand i literally jumped a foot, and, even better, im supposed to sleep now . . . great.

That IS NOT the end, guys. You need the GEM for the tree. -a green one- (With your MAGNET you fish another box. The code is in the "Cube Space: Seasons".) JUST THEN you will change your future.

i just came here for that fucking code 2:11

This was the first escape game i completed without using a single hint or checking a walkthrough lol, came here to watch the bad ending since i already got the good one

this game is freaking genius...it takes me forever with that code chest lol and the game is super amazingg

Trees just don't grow from fish. That's just unnatural

Just when I thought I'd go through one of their games without watching the walkthrough, I couldn't see the holes in the walls where we could use the crowbar

Someone understood how did he found the code (answer) of the green chest? (The one with "mirror")

In 1969, Laura Vanderboom wins a newspaper contest, receiving a free trip to Rusty Lake Mental Health and Fishing. She breaks up with her boyfriend Bob and travels to the Lake, at the Rusty Lake Mental Health and Fishing with her parrot Harvey. She goes there to try to escape from her depression which has plagued her since at least Spring 1964. During the move, she kept the parrot in a cardboard box used to also carry other things to the facility. This will become important later. There she discovers an abandoned cabin on the edge of Rusty Lake and decides to go fishing. Laura catches a dead body which is in the process of turning into a corrupted soul with a fishing rod using a prawn’s head as bait, though one of the corrupted soul’s hands is not yet the corrupted black colour. Using a knife, Laura cuts an apple out of its back while the soul screeches at her (the apple in its body appears to be part of a negative memory the soul had which triggers when she removes it). (If the body is the last to be pulled out by the player, it will remain outside if not clicked after collecting the apple. Correctly placing the items on the tree will cause the body to be replaced by a fully Corrupted Soul but will reappear as a body if any of the said items are taken off. This indicates that the corruption is not complete until the ritual takes place). Laura discovers a diagram on how to make a dark ritual which completes the process of corrupting a soul. The words ‘the past is not dead, it is not even past’ beneath the ritual diagram imply that if one can visit their past, they can change any negative outcomes with the ritual. The fish when cut open grows into a tree which can hold five objects. Placing a blue gem on top (which she finds from one of the two chests she fishes out of the lake) shoots a pentagram beam, which is evil (not protective). Laura does that at first unknowingly (since the events of Seasons have not yet occurred with the exception of the first Spring 1964 during which she was not yet corrupted - we don't get to see her image on the mirror inside the clock until the second time we revisit Spring 1964 in Seasons) and the corrupted soul comes out and attacks her, corrupting her soul. With his mistress in mental disarray, Harvey hides inside the cardboard box he arrived in. The corrupted soul who attacked his mistress is looking for him as well. He manages to repel the soul, which identifies as having wings - it is Mrs. Pigeon. It is very likely that this is the same soul Laura fished out of the lake at the cabin, since it also has its right hand not corrupted yet. Anyway, Harvey repels Mrs. Pigeon’s corrupted soul and escapes. Laura continues to live as a corrupted soul, her depression getting gradually worse. In the Summer of 1971, she joins the events of Seasons (and continues to remain corrupted until Winter 1981). The voice on the phone of Mr. Crow reminded her that “there will be blood” in the Fall of 1971 (presumably because he had already lived these events having travelled in time) which refers to Laura committing suicide due to her corruption (which explains the blood on her walls, the bloodied knife as well as the moon scene does showing Laura getting murdered by her own corrupted soul in the same flat where Seasons takes place). After her death, she wanders as corrupted soul in her flat until the Winter of 1981. After the end of the events in Seasons, Laura is again herself back in the Spring of 1964 when the corruption is gone with the help of Mr. Crow over the phone who shoots the white beam out of the phone onto her corrupted body. Laura knows that the code from her suicide was 1487. She waits until 1969 and visits the cabin because she must follow the same events in her life in order not to change her future substantially - only this time she intends to make a small but notable change. She knows what would happen if she used the blue gem, so this time she does not. She repeats the ritual, only this time she enters the code 1487 on the second chest she fishes out of the lake (which refers to ‘the seasons’ that she now understands what it is about), which gives her a green gem. Placing the green gem on top of the tree instead of the blue one shoots a pentagon beam which is protective. When the soul of Mrs. Pigeon attempts to enter the cabin, the pentagon stops it and it eventually disappears, leaving behind a black cube. (Corrupted Souls are tied to the black cubes: the process of extracting negative memories into black cubes corrupts the body if the victim learns about it). Laura, having successfully changed her past in Seasons, survives Mrs. Pigeon’s attack in 1969. Again, Harvey manages to repel the corrupted soul of Mrs. Pigeon who turns to him after failing to corrupt Laura. It appears that Laura still kills herself in the Fall of 1971, as her depression gets the better of her. Case 23 deals with detective Dale Vandermeer investigating her death.

Need any help solving the puzzles of Cube Escape: The Lake?

Yall are genius, everytime is replay this series the more of an existential crisis i get .

I think the the alternate ending "change your fate" has to do with what happened in cube escape: Seasons --------if you want to know the code is under the following spoiler. *Spoiler* *Believe me you won't love to read this untill you play cube escape: seasons* after knowing that woman changed her fate and she is the black figure who killed her, this game was to show how the woman died and the alternate ending was to emphasize what happened in cube escape: seasons preventing the shadowy figure (herself) from killing her (that's why knowing the code requires playing cube seasons)....i think the black cube is the thoughts or the bad memories that made her commit suicide (she took prozac in cube escape: seasons). or at least that what came to my mind. The code is 1487.

This was one of my first escape games ever played. I browsed games on Google and some website (not the Rusty Lake one) showed me Cube Escape: Birthday. I played that. Later got to know about couple of more games of different setting. And couple of years later got to know that there are more in the series. Ultimately finished the game while playing all night and I used to get freaking nightmares after playing the game. Has to be the best escape game ever. Surely tough one but you are supposed to find things yourself.

CODES EXPLAINED: In the light green box, the numbers are mirrored vertically. So if you cover up the left hand side then you’ll see the normal number and it’s a sum. The second box which you get from using the fishing rod magnet again it’s the code from Seasons (the previous game) which is 1487 to save you time. Hope this helps!

Cool, I got the green gem pentagon ending, glad this showed the other one.

I got a different ending with the green gem. The shape at the end is a pentagon instead of a star, and then you see the black cube.

Tbh, I just finished playing The Lake. By far it was the easiest for me although I had to go back and the code from seasons ( what a twist 😂). I thankfully didn't need to watch the walkthrough. Can't wait to see more games. I just wish all the rusty lake games were free. 😣

In the mirror chest all the numbers are mirrored. So it says 6x237. That's equal 1422

This piano song is realllllyyy amaaaaziiiing. I need a tutorial for this

I don’t think I’m gonna sleep tonight.

They came out with a collection of the game in order and it’s very helpful

I'm pretty sure this is a glitch (I haven't finished playing the game yet so forgive me if this was intended): when I cut the shrimps head off and found the key, I picked the shrimp up and placed the shrimp back down again. By doing this, I found an abundant amount of keys haha. I'm playing this game on Kongregate. :P P.S. I have a feeling I'm gonna love the Cube Escape games :D

love your games. so interesting and creepy. from Mongolia.

Very good game series!!! Congratulations!!! You are amazing!

This one was the easiest cube escape for me! It was the first one I didn't see the video for any tip hahaha

Can someone explain to me what the plot of this game is how it connects to Seasons? Also, what the plot of seasons is.

If you wanna follow the story as best as possible your should play the games in order. Some of them are more important than others for the main story. To play the ones I marked with a ($) you have to pay, but these are longer and go deeper into the story (very recommended). Here it goes: 1. Cube Escape: Seasons 2. Cube Escape: The Lake 3. Cube Escape: Arles 4. Cube Escape: Harvey's Box 5. Cube Escape: Case 23 6. Cube Escape: The Mill 7. Rusty Lake: Hotel ($) 8. Cube Escape: Birthday 9. Cube Escape: Theatre 10. Rusty Lake: Roots 11. Cube Escape: The Cave 12. Rusty Lake: Paradise ($) 13. Cube Escape: Paradox 14. The White Door ($)

Everything you touch, you change There will be blood The past is never deat,its not even past

The lake is the reason all if this paranormal stuff is happening, the green gem is the same one in the cave.

I actually played seasons first then this one so I kinda had a background

can anyone explain the code to open that iron box/chest part? Cause that's the part I don't understand. Thank you so much!

i hate it when i accidentally catch a man instead of a fish

BRO I WENT THRU THIS WHOLE GAME HAVING TO FIGURE IT OUT BY MYSELF JUST TO ONLY REALIZE THERE'S WALKTHROUGHS

that scared me to death!!!! GOD

What do we do with the box with the numbers? The dark green box .

have another final, with the another gem

What he did in 02:10?

Gosh it has been 6 adorable years

Could you guys tell me how to solve the "mirror code" ? I don't understand how it works

Hello Rustylake, I dont know if you are official Rustylake channel but your videos are good. Anyways, there is a lot of people who doesn't know your games' order to play. What is the order could you please tell me?

your not suppose to let him get you. so u enter the code 1487 in the the other chest and it will give u a green gem and instead of using the blue gem you use the green one. then he can't get you and you get the cube

THAT GUY SCARED THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ME OMG

I would never in a million years get the mirror puzzle

2:11 I don't understand how he did it

I thought this was a nice puzzle game but nvm it's a nightmare giving puzzle

I dont get what is going on with this green chest. Why this code?

I didn't get the hoarder achievement. where can I get that?

Does anyone understand the whole mirror thing? I couldn’t figure that part out

Damn - got everything apart from the maths puzzle. Didn't bother with the Seasons thing. Good one. :)

To get the other ending using the other case: click on the case, then put in the code from seasons; 1487. If done correctly, you should have a green gem - replace the blue gem in the tree with green. The green gem will make a pentagon instead of a star.This pentagon will protect you from the lake demon; getting a different ending!

2:27 can anyone explain me that?

What about the box with numbers saying:the number of seasons " ?

What was the four number box about? I didn't even use it to escape.. Also, the mirror box made absolutely no sense. I saw they were mirrored numbers, but the numbers put in, what was the logic there....? Can someone please tell me?

Did rusty lake develop year walk too? The sounds and other things are really similar, in a good way

2:16 this puzzle still doesn’t make sense to me How was I supposed to figure this out? 😭😭

i don't understand the green chest!??

fate change code: 1487

This is where it all began.

How could you find the eye? I need a lot, please.

tnx for ur best games..... u r the best game creator❤

i changed my fate with the green gem, what that signify?

In the mobile apps the background is black, so sometimes it's impossible to solve it all on you own

Why can't you just explain the riddles like the green box with mirror on it?

2:25 I don't understand the logic

I don't understand the box that says mirror. Where did you get the code for that?

Season code : 1487

People who used Green gem instead of Blue 🙋🏻‍♀️ raise hand

my game doesnt have the bandage looking insect. it just isnt there at all. so im stuck

The second box you can fish out will give you a green diamond and will change the ending if you place it in the tree instead of the blue one 1487 The same code is used in Rusty Lake: Seasons

So I did the alternative ending and used the gem by remembering the seasons password, so how does that change things from this ending?

the game in my phone has a different background, it's all black instead of wood, how the hell I'm supposed to see those things on the floor? I'M SAD...

Green gem protect you, so you can survive, to open chest with green gem you need to play Cube Escape:Seasons.

I just dont get how the code in the box makes sense. Can someone explain?

where can I find the soundtrack? it's amazing!

I finished this without watching ang I'm really confused on what the other box is for (the symbols one) because I got the answer of the other box from the seasons and after the last jumpscare at the painting (or the window), it said that I finish the game because I got the cube.

Rusty lake is brilliant.

0:44 the best game maker

I don't understand the mirror code thing

I 'm having a very tuff time. Do the steps have to be in exactly the same order every time?

I can't really see the dark creature at all I don't know if it's a problem with my phone or something else but if someone encountered the same problem can you tell me if you somehow got it fixed ?

im come form 2022

Wait wtf....how did they suddenly get rid of the tree?!?!?!?!

He is playing so fast like the speed 😂😍😂

Can someone explain the lock’s password?

How is the Rabbit person in birthday connected to all this and how is Mr. Crow and Mr. owl related to the story, sometimes I think the story is vague but it's creative especially the theater story, I just wanted to know if the story is connected.

if you replace the blue diamond with the green one, the star in the end won’t appear and instead it will be a pentagon. i got a cube in the end.

The game where you always get jump scared.
