    Dutch developer .. explains the dutch surnames in game
    reiziger = “traveler”
    Eilander = “islander”
    Vanderboom= “of the tree”
    Vandermeer= “of the lake”
    The names are normally written like this:
    (First name) Van der Boom
    (first name) Van der Meer
    Van der: “of the...”
    Van: “of...”
    De: “The...”

    John, you're probably the only youtuber that can successfully support games like rusty lake series, the cat lady, the downfall, Kathy Rain and all those kinda"atmospheric"(or 90s maybe ?) games,but most importantly you successfully PLAY those indie games without ruining the nostalgic atmosphere and still keeping them interesting in your own unique way.

    Paradox is a psychological evaluation of Dale via the time loop he's stuck in. It takes place while Dale and Laura's corrupted soul are hooked up to the machine at the end of The Cave. Dale escapes the loop in one of the two secret endings (canonically, in the Golden ending), after which he's given the Golden Cube and sent up the elevator to experience Birthday and Theatre as Harvey, in 1893, sees a vision of him ascending to the Hotel.
    No games have taken place after Dale's ascent still, and Hotel came out in 2015, the same year the series started. XD

  • @choicebarrelscrotes2732

    The timeline of this series is pretty wild. Of all the games with "Cube Escape" in the title, the earliest point with a date is Arles in 1888. But that seems to be something of an offshoot game for what we know right now, so of the main story, the earliest point in a Cube Escape game is Birthday in 1939, and we can extrapolate, obviously, that Dale was born in 1930. The file cards in chapter 1 give Aldous' birthday as 1799, after the events of Paradise in 1796. The files also give Jakob and Caroline's birthdays as earlier in the Winter 1775 and Summer 1750. Roots takes place between 1860 (1859 if you do all the medallions) and 1935, and Hotel takes place in 1893.
    Important timeline events: Jakob becomes Mr. Owl in 1796. Aldous and William Vanderboom complete the elixir in 1859. William dies and Aldous becomes Mr. Crow. The Corrupted souls escaped the Hotel into the Lake in 1894. Dale is born in 1930. William is reborn as Laura in 1935. Dale's family is killed in 1939; Mr. Owl already knows who he is. Laura dies in 1971. Dale's investigation and journey begin in 1972.
    We know Dale's birthday memory is in chapter 2 is a memory of 1939, but the rest of Paradox doesn't have a date. Assuming the "present" sections are shortly after the events of Case 23/The Mill/Theatre/The Cave, then the Present Mind exists around 1972. We have no information regarding the future.
    Seasons ends in Winter 1981. This is the latest date given in any of the games, and appears to feature a setup intended to restore Laura back to life, which appears to succeed. I'm not sure how this all fits together. I was under the impression--not sure why, but I feel like I read an interview--that this was the final installment. Some of the language seems to imply that as well: Mr. Owl's appeal to Dale; his conversation with Laura. It all feels very final. But the journey also doesn't feel complete. We don't know how we get from 1972 to 1981. As ambiguous and open as these guys like to keep things, I don't think they'd leave THAT much in the air.
    *But anyway, tl;dr timeline*
    Earliest Known Point: *Summer 1750* (Caroline Eilander is born)
    Latest Known Point: *Winter 1981* (End of Cube Escape: Seasons)

    I like that way of including kickstarters - it's always nice when developers try to make backer bonuses that *add* to the game, rather than distracting from it. In this case, having all those fluff entries incentivises you to make a note of the relevant names, without the developers having to sit there and generate tons of junk data (I assume they did something similar for the phone book, though I was having trouble making the text out). I did find the entries themselves a touch immersion breaking, but they were also good for a laugh if you wanted to sit there and just flip through, so... swings and roundabouts?

      I know this is a year off, but they changed the procedure because they have found that the first 24 hours are the most important for a missing person. If they typically can’t be found within that time frame their odds of still being alive drop dramatically.

Then the second secret ending is where an elevator shows up in a white room (like Cave's ending) and from there is when Dale would expirience Birthday and Theatre.

      How it actually works, outside numbers, is that the Police act on "what is unusual".

If you expected your wife home for dinner and she is late, the police will wait.

And this is coming from somebody who has been a fan for a very long time, since at least the release of Case 23. The way they convey the act of him looking around the room as we shift view from one corner of the room to the next, finding a book of matches in a drawer (alongside something that definitely should not be there), drinking something only to spit out a physical object, matching symbols in order to open up something. It is all there. And off course, the appearance of everyone’s favorite bird-headed fellow.

    i started watching this playthrough after i played paradox chapter one without knowing about the series, its so crazy about how intricate the story becomes + how easy it is to create an individual story when only plaything thru one of the games ! (i had this whole theory about how the corrupted soul was actually dale's shadow- and the crow was a representation of 'death') but yeah i'm so happy i found john thru this vids, i cant wait to watch more recent vids after finishing this off ! :D

    Thanks for this video and the other Cube Escape/Rusty Lake videos, John. They are what helped me find you in the first place and I constantly come back to these videos to watch whenever I want to watch something. I like your thoughtfulness and it's extremely cool to watch you figure out the puzzles so quickly--it's mindblowingly impressive. I hope you're doing okay and really look forward to your videos. Thanks a million for the time, effort, and everything you put into making and uploading these videos.

    @lochnessa-i3n 4 года назад +1

    I don't think it's super inaccessible for new players actually, I started playing these games with Cube Escape: Paradox without knowing anything about it, got super intrigued by what was going on, then played the rest of the series and was finally able to piece together all the bits of the stories (although when I replay it again and again I find and discover new stuff each time!) It helps that time doesn't really seem to matter or exist in the Rusty Lake universe as it's all looping and changing anyway ("the past is never dead, it's not even past")

  • @Maya.Stini23
    @Maya.Stini23 3 года назад +2

    So, I think it's a good thing that new-comers don't get every reference from Roots or Paradise or Paradox. If they like it they'll look up the older games to understand what they just experienced. . . Exactly how yo looked up the free Cube escape games after playing Hotel!

    Speculations in Dale story: Detective Vandameer was first introduced having dead parents. He tries to erase/extract his memories in the Mental Health And Fishing. In doing so the dark memories in the rusty lake hotel had taken a physical form/ the potion the rusty lake gave made him into Jekyll And Hyde. Detective Vandameer can't remember his past had a new life as a Detective but he found out that a girl has been killed(Laura)(killed by Vandameers Dark Memory)....in finding out the answers to the killing he founds out that his past isn't past because it was erased and the past isn't dead because it is still alive killing people shown in the paradox..Chapter one in the paradox is the prequel...the mental healths mission is to erase his past memory thats why the room was specialized to aid him, the brochure in the room is a clue specially created to aid him erase his memory(not the blue vial D) that is why the potion he drink was red, he wishes to forget. The second chapter is the sequel...He is a detective and his investigation leads him to mental health rusty lake...and a second prescription is made so that he can find the answer on who killed Laura(different brochure-not the red vial)...and I think that is why rusty lakes motto is A place to empty the mind and reflect on the past. The crow ask in the short film.."did you made the right choice" Did Dale really made the right choice to erase his past rather than forget it.....also the potions metaphor is a key because Dale think it's a key to escape his past.

    Yay cube escape paradox! I love these games. I really enjoyed when kimmy streamed this. So many puzzles and what a big mystery. It really makes you think and get you to write stuff on paper to figure out. Nice going on the commentary for the movie john. Really smart.
    It all Makes me want to go over the entire lore. So dale was gonna inherit rusty lake from Mr owl. People should try playing and getting into this series. They are very good puzzle games. I think you can find other Matroska dolls I think. Which I think can only be solved through the items provided in the dossier.
    Anyway I really loved this series and hope to see more
