To help with the sense of continuity, the earliest Cube Escape games “pan into” every screen as you turn.

All this time travel is initially in a forward direction, but after reaching the final time slot, you’ll be allowed to go back to previous times to solve leftover puzzles, before finally come to the game’s abstract end, a deconstruction of Room Escape genre tropes.Īs is the rule in Cube Escape subseries, the room in Seasons a full cube that you can explore wall-to-wall and also the ceiling. With time, you’ll hopefully tune in to the game’s central objective: to repeat a sort of ritual in four different time periods, using further cubes to travel through your character’s memories and uncover a grisly murder in this very room, with surreal clues about the nature of the victim and killer. It doesn’t help that one of the earliest supernatural events is a jump scare: you prep a hardboiled egg, only for flies, lights and loud noises to burst out, culminating in the formation of a floating, magical cube. The game’s a slow starter, so much so that the initial surreal elements may come as an outright shock when they finally show.

As a result, it’s one of the longest free Cube Escape games, matched only by The Cave, although it’s nowhere close to the premium games.Ĭube Escape: Seasons begins without any obvious narrative through-line, relying on the traditions of narrative-free Room Escape games to get the player started without any additional prompting.

Seasons was originally intended for release as a paid application, before Rusty Lake changed their mind and decided to release it for free to build up a fanbase and solid reputation. The Lake actually hit sites first, but Rusty Lake has presented Seasons as the first game ever since. Rusty Lake’s first two games, Cube Escape: Seasons and Cube Escape: The Lake, were released around the same time. Recurring elements include the titular Rusty Lake and its surrounds, a seemingly immortal grey parrot, the Buddhist concept of Samsara (and some of its mythological connotations), and a group of animal-masked figures that are definitely up to more than they pretend, and they already act like they’re up to a lot. It’s hard to believe this Twin Peaks-inspired premise is still relevant when you’re in 1796, painting your blind sister’s face with ritual war paint, but it’s all part of an eventually coherent whole.

To confuse matters, the series would later expand into traditional adventure games also entitled “Rusty Lake.” The series’ overall plot (if it could be said to have one, as it doesn’t build up steam until Cube Escape: Case 21), focuses on the 1970’s murder of an initially unnamed woman, with events often seen through the eyes of Detective David Vandermeer.

At its height, social games review hub Jay Is Games was able to promise a room escape review at least once a week on Wednesdays.Īmong the best of the genre was the horror-themed Cube Escape series, created by developers Rusty Lake, and named, on the surface anyways, for the fact that you were escaping a series of perfectly cube-shaped rooms. The premise exploded and remained with Flash gaming right to the end. Instead of exploring a whole cavern, fantasy kingdom or pirate’s isle, the gameplay would be confined to a tightly-packed room, with all the puzzles more-or-less within arm’s reach. The genre was conceived, in games like The Crimson Room, as a way to convey Adventure-style gameplay in the small data sizes demanded by the internet connections of the early 2000s. Room Escape games are one of Flash gaming’s most enduring legacies, having made the jump not only from browser-exclusive territory but into the real world.
