All that you touch, you change
All that you John, you guys
i'll forgive the over-usage of this meme, just this _once_
This was....actually original.
🙏🙏
Time to start a Cult called "The Good John."
Wiser words have never been uttered before this moment.
Because I love this series so much, here’s my long ass theory/story based on everything I can remember of the games prior to Paradise (spoilers ahead for everything except Paradise):
Aldous and William Vanderboom create the elixir of life. Only Aldous wins eternal life, William dies. Aldous, now as Mr. Crow works together with Mr. Owl to create Rusty Lake (metaphorically done by the seed given to James).
James' side of the family (the ones related to William) are sacrificed to reincarnate William into Laura. Laura however has depression and commits suicide. Harvey the parrot is a messenger for Rusty Lake Hotel (taking the guise as a mental health clinic), who informs the hotel of Laura’s passing so they can collect her body.
Aldous lives on and starts his own family: the Vandmeers (changed his name to erase any leads to his connection to William’s death), later having a grandson, Dale Vandermeer. Aldous’ signs of aging reveal that the elixir only lengthens a lifespan, not fully immortalize it. Aldous and Dale’s parents are then killed by Mr. Rabbit, a patient of Rusty Lake Hotel who wanted to change his fate (not sure if he knew Aldous). Dale grows up to become a detective for Laura’s case, not knowing they are related. Dale then gets mixed up in the cube/shadow ordeal and gets trapped inside Rusty Lake.
Rusty Lake is a factory: guests enter with the intent to die so their memories turn into black cubes. These guests can interact with the cubes to give them the chance to change their past for the better (like Mr. Rabbit), ultimately creating white cubes. Failure to change fate causes the victim to become a shadow. Only two guests are able to (kinda) succeed: Laura and Dale. In Seasons, Laura can make her life better before her suicide. In Birthday, Dale saves his family, including Aldous.
By paradoxically saving Aldous, Aldous can now use Rusty Lake Hotel the way it was intended: reincarnate William again by collecting the final family members’ cubes/memories as sacrifice. Laura and Dale-original Vanderboom family members who were successful in creating black and white cubes (aka change their past)-are used to create the Golden Cube, the final item (I assume) for reincarnation. Laura however remains a shadow because she already died. Dale, who technically is still alive, takes the Cube and “escapes”.
Dale will either succumb to a shadow or reincarnate into Mr. Owl. If Dale becomes/is Mr. Owl, he causes the Rusty Lake story to become a time loop-he begins Rusty Lake, becomes the final product of Rusty Lake and continues the saga of Rusty Lake because it contains Dale's (and every other character's) original timeline.
...I spent way too much time on this haha.
Wow kinda clears my confusion on this series.
Also in paradox Laura didn't commit suicide
The only problem
The stuff happens in birthday is just a memory
I think in reality nothing changed
@@dee_jeh no he changed the memory which changed the past and what had happened
Prassel Yeah additionally it will show that the vanderblooms did not create rusty lake hotel; it was created by others. The lake itself though is like a living entity. I dont think it was "created"
Awesome playthrough again! Excited to see Paradise :)
Rusty Lake when that Albert game be coming out doe?
OMG that's the actual rusty Lake I've been talking about you to my mom
Omg hi!!
@@ErrorNumber404 later this year
@@ErrorNumber404 it finally came out TODAY.
Hey, for a bit of explanation on the story:
The blue cube allows you to go back in time. It's what allowed Dale to go back in time and save his family in Cube Escape: Birthday.
The golden cube was explained in the book as not only being the key to the past, but also to the future. This could imply either time traveling to the future, as a counterpart to the blue cube (much like how the black and white cubes are counterparts), or it could have something to do with the "full elixer" that Mr. Owl mentioned.
Mr. Owl and Mr. Crow took elixers of eternal life or death, but the problem is that it's temporary. According to the six stages of the wheel (seen in this game and Cube Escape: The Theatre), Mr. Crow (and presumably Mr. Owl) are demigods. This seems to mean that although the two are immortal while under the effects of the elixer, the elixer can wear off over time, as we see in this game. This "full elixer" is presumably the key to true immortality with no catches whatsoever, and finding this elixer could be the reason why Mr. Crow and Mr. Owl kill people for their memories.
However, (no spoilers but be cautious if you wanna go into Paradise fully blind) Rusty Lake: Paradise offers more light onto why certain people are doing certain things at Rusty Lake. Do not expect it to continue the mystery with Dale but instead offer more backstory on a very major and mysterious character so far.
I gotta say, I really love this series and I'll be eagerly waiting to watch you play Rusty Lake: Paradise and Cube Escape: Paradox when that comes out! (Paradox is the next cube escape currently in development. It's also being developed alongside a short film, and I'd love to hear your reaction to that when it comes out!)
Mia Veronin This should get more likes
Adding to this, the complementary colors between Blue cubes and Gold cubes supports your thoughts on their supposedly opposite functions.
Mia Bright I agree with a lot of this and I also think that Caroline’s memories are for the full elixir and the elixir that Mr.Crow and Mr.Owl take in this game is like a sustaining think keeping them immortal till the full elixir is made
And the elixir fully works on animals (the dog is immortal and it's the extraction via the excrement that provides the elixir here), perhaps that's why they turn into animals. Further spoilers: we learn from Paradox that Mr Owl will become a fish in the end, I wonder if Mr Crow also turns into another animal or just becomes a crow. Oh and Harvey must turn into a regular parrot, because on the extra scene in Birthday we see them transforming from the human-parrot into a parrot (did Harvey... Just... Died? And permanently turned into a parrot for eternity?)
This game is just too good
1:28 I told you guys, the immortal dog, my favourite detail in the whole series.
yep, I read your comment in previous rusty lake video and it clicked such a cool detail. Maybe that is why there were instances of people eating that doggos shit and pee - cause it somehow makes you immortal, you can be rebirth by it or something along the lines :P but hey, that just a theory
Yup
DeadFingers Immortal Dog and Immortal Harvey are my favourites.
:)
@That one friend that genuinely enjoys Rick Astley a game theorizing
idk if anyone's pointed this out yet, but I'm pretty sure their surnames are of significance too - Vanderboom is dutch for "Of the Tree" and Vandermeer is "Of the Lake"....... Though both surnames would usually be written as separate words - Van der Boom and Van der Meer, if they were in the original dutch - I assume they're immigrants to america who changed the spelling of their names.
I Agree! To add onto this: Tree, like the tree symbolisms that regularly appear when those soulless white-eyed monsters appear (i.e. 8:50, when the Rabbit died and became a tree in Rusty Birthday, the soulless monsters residing in a forest like area)
Lake, like the... this is obvious.
Your immigrant theory is worth noting as well. You're a good frog.
Froge I don’t think the immigrated I think rusty lake is in France because I’m Rusty Lake Roots, Lenard goes to WWI in 1914 when in America it started in 1917
@@themilkman5967 Or Britain.
ISS600 it seems like lenard joined the war when it first broke out
@@themilkman5967 Yeah it does, true.
As I understand it, your job in this game (as Mr. Crow) is to create a new type of Cube. The previous games had introduced three other types of Cubes: White Cubes, which contain good memories; Black Cubes, which contain bad memories; and Blue Cubes, which have the power to alter the past. By extracting memories from both Dale and Laura('s corpse), Mr. Crow created a new type of cube: a Golden Cube, which according to the book from the cave has the power to change the future. This somehow ties into Mr. Crow and Mr. Owl's endgame, which involves creating an "improved" version of the elixir which grants them immortality.
It's worth noting that the developers have one further game planned in the _Cube Escape_ / _Rusty Lake_ series planned: "Cube Escape: Paradox". The game is being developed alongside a short film, simply titled "Paradox"; the film will be live-action and will feature various clues on how to solve the puzzles within the game.
These have definitely become my favorite gameplays of yours
dominique p Its why Im here this and sally face.
Ginger Kubicz I forgot about sally face! It takes so long for another to come out but yes I love his gameplay on that too

the things people do for immortality
Yeah, two old men killing their own family just doesn't sit right.
Yes! I love watching you play point and click games! It's hard to find someone with a real appreciation of the genre. Thanks for another great video!
Endy Games
Exactly! He handles this genre with care, and it is so appreciated.
Yolololoolol
I hope John plays Submachine in a future..
They did al this shit just so dale could take a peaceful elevator ride mad respect
"Did they just merge William, who was Laura, into Dale????"
This sounds so Twin Peaks it's not even funny.
Okay it's kind of hilarious.
LunarShimmer Especially when you think about the fact that Laura was potentially killed by Bob from Theatre. And the whole 'owl' theme.
Ethan Livemere Laura killed herself
It was shown when we inspected the black cube
Lorax 12 I know but Bob was a suspect, plus he was a corrupted soul and in Seasons it seems as if she gets killed by a corrupted soul rather than killing herself. Everything is still unsure.
Ethan Livemere But isn't she a corrupted soul herself?
Lorax 12 Yes but maybe only after she dies, as we see a CS escape her body in the black cube suicide scene. In Seasons, she gets stabbed in the back, here she slits her own throat. I have theorized a lot about whether Laura killed herself or not, I'm still not sure.
EDIT: Also we know she was depressed (she took prozac and her letter to Bob suggests it as well) so that's another reason she might've killed herself.
Mr. Owl and Mr.Crow developed a imortality elixir, in which you can either die or turn immortal (don't know the reason why).
But this elixir is not the perfect version of the elixir (they had to make another to keep living).
I still don't know why, but Dale and Laura are important to achieve the full elixir. I think Laura's part is to have her memories harvested and Dale's job is deliver them somewhere or to someone.
Maybe the memories are important ingredients to the elixir.
Laura is reincarnation of the brother of Mr.Crow
We know Mr Crow is Vanderboom, but who is Mr Owl exactly?
I think that is explained in Paradise
The "full elixir" is the golden cube. When playing as William / Laura, you collect white and black cubes. When playing as Dale, you mostly collect blue cubes. Combining all three produces a golden cube.
DracoHandsome: Dale and Laura collect exactly one blue cube each, and Laura never collects any white ones.
One thing I've just gotta say John is that I am so impressed with how familiar you are with the most random facts. Knowing random font types, knowing pieces of history like the names of Buddha's, your familiarity with types of codes, your knowledge of random words in different languages...it is just so awesome.
Early in this game there's a book that has the four cube colors and next to gold it said, "The memories are not only the key to the past but... also to the future". Maybe the golden cube lets you move forward in time?
As far as the timeline goes and story goes, I think Rusty Lake: Roots does the best job of explaining things. As far as favorite level designs/puzzles, The Cave comes in on top.
"Whats this guy get out of this!?"
Three Fish, John.
My favorite recent memory was eating cold ribs and watching your last cube escape video. I hope I can get ribs and re-watch this soon
Last? Isn't he going to play Paradise?(
Jekaterina Orlova Oh I meant the last one posted on the channel, hopefully he will play Paradise!
@@lajjiggyjarjardoodurdurdur9607 oh, thanks for explanation!
why cold? 😭
I love the reaction when you reach the end of a Rusty Lake game, "NO!" and the look of confusion. This is what always draws me back to them.
Every time you upload it’s like a beautiful star shooting through the sky
I will be sad when this ends. I've really enjoyed watching you play these unique and clever games. They have had me hooked. I love how it's all connected and fun. The cartoonie style art is neat, I like that.
These games got my brain in a twist I'm sure not smart enough to crack these puzzle, but John's mind is. Thank you John for showing us these smart games. And thank you for you epic commentary and hard work.
The second section of this game in the submarine stumped me. All the numbers and meters were just overwhelming to me. Far prefer the first half in the cave. Still like this game overall though. It’s great. Can’t wait to see you play Paradise.
By the way, another Cube Escape apparently releases at some point this summer along with a Rusty Lake movie. Cube Escape: Paradox.
Benjamin Weeks From what I understand , the controls are designed this way because it is mimicking the controls of a real submarine. But yeah, they are kind of tricky to get your head around.
"We grind the arm, that is what you do... with arms"
I love how the sheer ambience of the games makes it seem logical, that is the same i thougth
"Dog food is not made of arms"
And then it makes it yet grimmer
I thought most of the cube escape games were pretty easy, but honestly, the second part of this one took me a bit to figure out. The submersible controls didn't strike me as very intuitive.
"What are we going to do with this arm? Give this guy a hand?" These are the wholesome puns I subbed for.
*I'm still waiting for '"Hey guys it's John" for 10 hours*
I've been waiting for this! I love your Rusty Lake videos!
what if dale's grandpa is Aldous? it makes sense because William's grandchildren tried to bring him back as Laura but she died. then because Dale has Vandeboom blood; they can use him to bring back William
This is probably my favourite series from you so I was super happy when I saw this video!
I'll have to check out Twin Peaks because I've loved this game series
Same!! I saw him do this one and then bring up twin peaks a ton so now I have to check it out.
JOHN! WHATS GOOD BRO! YOU GOOD BRO! HOPE YOUR GOOD BRO! RIGHT ON JOHN! RIGHT ON!
Jay Summers lol
I’m bursting of laughter rn
This is my first watch of the series and I can not believe it took this long to dawn on me that *mental health and fishing* is a double entendre:
It is the guise under which the rusty lake hotel disguises itself and what it does
It is also a facility where mr crow harvests (fishes for) the memories of guests (their mentality) for his own health
The game was already amazing but this realisation has quadrupled my appreciation for it, can’t wait to see what happens in paradise
Okay. I'll throw in my guess.
Back in the cave, you had that puzzle where a dude in a hard hat diving suit was helping Dale out to cross the abyss and into the white cube. That means, during that time when your character was collecting those various cubes underwater, it was simultaneously helping Dale cross to that said cube. By the time you entered, he was already seated in with Laura. Since Dale have the ability to change things, they used this contraption to take advantage of his ability and extract what may be a rare elixir (or memory that comprises all of William's family tree) into a golden cube. What exactly does it do? With all the sacrifices offered to achieve a rebirth, it could be a curse or a blessing that serves a higher purpose. I'm sure it'll be further explained in the last game, where it'll bring full closure. All we do remember is seeing Dale on the ground after, Mr Owl conducting some kind of ritual, and that white light escaping the man's body (from The Mill). [P.S.: Don't forget 06:45]
Welp, I'll be keeping an eye for that last one, but in the meantime, thanks for playing thru these games. I've enjoyed watchin' it immensely.
John escapes Rusty Lake...or does he?!
You deserve way more subscribers than you have!
Shannon Lyn i agree man he's so underrated while in my opinion he's the best RUclipsr for horror games unlike overrated youtuber markiplier. No hate for markiplier tho...
Adeena Hasan agree.
Old Mark was kinda adorable though (in a non-cringy way). Really dorky. Ofc I'm sure he's still a great guy, I just haven't watched him like I did back in the old' days like when he played Containment Breach. I just can't believe John hasn't made 500k or even 700k though. He deserves so much more and even with his current amount of subscribers, his content isn't lacking at all. It's amazing. :^)
Ikr!
Pix hmm what i wrote about mark was my opinion i really don't mean to spread any hate! And i respect your opinion too!
But I'd still prefer john over mark..
The dog is an immortal dog btw, in the last game where William tested the elixir that killed him it worked on the dog
At 7:04 there is a clue about all cube colors. Literally I think:
White cube: Good memories
Black cube: Bad memories
Blue cube: Key to modify your past
Golden cube: Key to shape your future based on modification of the past
By the way, I think modification with Blue cube does not have any real effect, it's just kind of self satisfactory and getting over with bad memories. But Golden cube probably really effect real world.
Rusty Lake is such a good series of games!
47:37 Is that Totoro's Dark Form?
I love this series so much, but I'm fuckin' confused as hell after this one. So is the implication that Laura/William's like, consciousness or memories got transferred into Dale? Is Laura/William possessing Dale's body now? So Mr. Crow helped his brother possess Dale, and that was the point of him helping Dale during his game(s)? Also Mr. Owl is also a former human too? God, maybe I need to marathon the series again lmao Oh well, can't wait for John to play Rusty Lake: Paradise!
Yay, cube escape! I love the style but i like how dark it come be sometimes.
John: "This is the 11th game."
Me: as i rewatch the series "10TH John, 10th"
My man, I would love to hand you some input about this series but it is extremely twisted into its self, which is obviously the key charm to it. You're portraying it really well and fans like my self appreciate it. This is all well edited and a very interesting, looking forward to the future vids'
What lmaooooo. Just when you think you're caught up with the story line (kind of because who can really keep up truly?) lol, can't wait for the next one!
This is the first one I played so I was very confused and didn't know what to expect
Hey John!! Thank you so much for playing the Rust Lake series. :3 Love it!
Just wanted you to know that the dog is from Rusty Lake Roots, it's the dog that drank the elixir in the first chapter and gained eternal life. : ) Didn't know if you caught it, but I just wanted to point it out for the references.
Keep up the awesome work!!
As a puzzle game, this series stands alone as quirky, and with a great cartoon style. With interesting puzzles,that are fun to solve! Glad your playing them all.
I was so shocked when Dale's Grandpa turned out to be Aldous/Mr.Crow
Dude same! I've played all the free games but never made the connection (I feel like playing Roots prior would have helped, but I just watched it right before this so it was such a new concept that I never would have made the connection)
I have been looking forward for this!!!!
ok Count Dooku
Dale and Laura. They waited a good long while to reveal their most obvious Twin Peaks reference, and I've always loved their restraint for it.
I love these games so much
I played thru all these games in a week. But I'll still watch John play them. Love them so much
JOHN BLESS YOU. This upload is the highlight of my day!!
I think the golden cube is the final ingredient for whatever elixir the brothers have been trying to make, possible the elixir of immortality, or to ascend to a higher state of being? I always enjoy your puzzle game playthroughs and I really love the rusty lake ones, i'm excited to see whats in store for the next one!
I love this series SO MUCH
I love that the "final" character has my nameee lmao thanks for playing this! I don't want this Cube Escape series to end though :(
33:20 "Ordinary. Wizarding. Levels."
At 7:04 you can see that the Golden cube can be used to go to the future and at the end of the game we give dale a golden cube
i love cube escape but i have to agree. cave is pretty tiring to follow, even though its one of the longest free rusty lake games
I think you got it spot on, actually. As much as I adore Twin Peaks (Which is odd cause boy can I not stand the camera work in any Lynchian thing I watch) I feel like this game is telling exactly what TP was trying to tell-- just better. It's combining that weird, complicated, convoluted storytelling with in depth plot. Lynch does that well except he does everything to an extreme and then we find ourselves staring at a wall in Laura Palmer's mom's house for 4 full minutes and you question why you're watching it to begin with.
Play Rusty Lake Paradise 😍 it's a new one! I have played all of them and they are just perfect! I'll play Paradise as well but I wanna see your playthrough too ❤️ nice videos, nice work! Keep going the good job ❤️
Hey John, really glad you found these games; the Cube Escape series is one of my favourites, so it’s been great watching you play them and discover the story as well :) Not sure if you’d be interested or not, but there’s actually a precursor to the Cube Escape series called Samsara Room, which I think was made by only one of the devs and is more of a concept for the overall series so it’s quite short (you could probably finish it in about 15-20mins) and not as fleshed out as the games in the main series. It was one of the first games from the devs I played and how I discovered the others, so it’s been interesting to see how they have expanded on the original concept. The title itself kinda gives away the idea of what the all the games have been about which is: rebirth/reincarnation. I think that might be what the cubes are about, as if you relate it back to the idea of Samsara, and take some of the quotes from the series e.g. ‘balance the substance of your past lives’ I think maybe the goal of the Vanderboom’s was to achieve enlightenment and/or escape the cycle of life which could be what the golden cube represents. That’s my theory anyway. Aside from that, just wanted to say: keep up the good work- I really love your videos!
Falling in love with the series and how well you catch onto the puzzles John. Keep it up, now I'm going to have to watch the other ones...
Probably my favorite playlist/walkthrough on your channel John.
Hey John, Puppet Combo recently came out with a new game called "Stay Out of The House" and I'd love to see you play it. He's constantly updating the game.
If I'm not wrong John, the Blue Cube is used to change Memories, just like in Seasons where you travel back in time
There will be a short film and a new game, Cube Escape Paradox, soon! Hope they explain the Golden Cube
Very relaxing game play, helps with nightmares :)
Anyone else think the flask worked for the dog and he has literally lived like 70+ years?
Good timing John I watch your vid when I’m on treadmil.
Awesome ive enjoyed your other cube escape play throughs
The cubes were explained in the book in this game. All of them.
Yay for more Cube Escape! Have you ever played the Submachine series? The inside of the cement cube reminded me of it.
On this one, I completely guessed the X and Y's for the third cube. I didn't want to bother with the Morse Code at all, lmao. Those combinations are pretty easy to cheese your way through
Hey John! Who knows if anyone's mentioned it, but if I recall correctly in the early games, blue cubes were established for time travel! (I know it shows in rusty lake birthday/theatre, but it might be from somewhere in seasons.) Either way, good to see a new video, can't wait for Paradise. Sorry this one turned out be such a slog!
Finally you played the cave. I'm so hyped for you to play Paradise. If you think the other games was weird and twisted. You haven't seen anything yet. 😉
Yes! So excited to see this show up in my notifications. I love watching you play the Cube Escape games.
Nice! I waited for this for a bit. Can't wait for Paradise.
So thats why the elixir comes from dog poop in this game! the dog was fed it in roots, and somehow there's still traces in its digestive system 100 years later?
Love these Cube Escape games! Thanks John!
The deeper you go into these games the more *CONFUSING* it gets, lmao.
Still loving this series!
ABSOLUTELY makes my day when you upload, especially this series!!
Laura and Dale's memories combined into a golden cube???
John, watching your videos is the best part of my day.
Huh, I have my own theories of the story so far, but I'll keep them for myself till the series is over, amazing series, love the videos on it. Keep up the great work my dude.
I love the comments section so much. And your videos
Im so glad u finally played the rusty lake series..I've always wanted u to play these, also can u play the killer escape series? Personally i like that game and would like u to play...i want to know ur thoughts about it.
It is kind of funny that by a complete fluke one of the family members managed to make a perfect immorality potion. Though I am sure the actual explanation is that the potion is somehow far more effective on dogs. Or... Probably more likely it has to do with the wheel and because the dog is on the bottom... essentially it lowers the dog's score so low he essentially maxes out and becomes super immortal.
John. Of all of your games, can you compile a list of your top scary ones. I've seen so many of your videos, but I'd like to know the ones that really gave you a scare. Thank you, keep up the videos!
Ooo I'd like to see this too.
23:40 Just when you think you were done; you in sil... submarine son! Honestly, my brain clocked out around here. There's a lot more puzzles crammed into this than the others I feel. Thank you for playing these and future ones even with your busyness.
I think the golden cube is like life essence. Part of the final elixir or whatever. I still don't know why they essentially tortured like 4 generations and others for rebirth. If the whole bit is simply for immortality it seems silly.
And off chance this is read... continuing xcom or trying out the new dd expansion (apparently its not all endless mode).
15:00 Cube Escape apparently have some graph theory problems. I like it.
John was the first RUclipsr To ever reply to one of my comments. I freaked out ! 😧 (It was Welcome to the game 2 when he got both endings)
As soon as I saw John had uploaded Rusty Lake, I gasped so loudly and excitedly that I scared both my roommates and the cat...
You made a super shitty day a lot more bearable! I love your videos on the Rusty Lake games. Thanks, John!
Funny how John saw literally the old man changing his head for a raven's head and didn't realize that we are playing as Aldous/Mr.Crown xD I am playing this series of games myself and certain details I only notice after watching the recordings. I don't blame you these games that fill you with strange and absurd information
Oh I can't wait for rusty lake paradise video!!!!
I try to say "Twin Peaks" in unison with John in every Rusty Lake video.
Hey man! This game called "Seek Or Die" was updated on steam and it's a great indie horror game that I think you will enjoy!
OMG, RUSTY LAKE: THE CAVE! By John! (screams, grabs popcorn and enjoys).
You always serve them hot, ready, and right on time papa john.
i was hoping for more of this series. i hope theres more collections.
