Rusty Lake knows what they're doing. I highly recommend picking up all the games by the devs to fully understand the story they're weaving.

As always, great art, great puzzles, great story and new interesting mechanics. This time though, they added some twists. The game uses FMV and a short film (you can find on YouTube or within the game through a link) that aid the game and interact with the game. It will give you clues and codes for extra easter eggs, or more story. Similar to an ARG but not quite. It definitely was a great experience. The casting was perfect and so was their acting. Given the different dynamics, the puzzles are even more interesting and a delight to try and solve them. This was divided into 2 chapters, the first one being free and the second a dlc. Technically the full game is just the dlc price. All of their games have a pretty good price for the game play time and content. Again, this is a part of a very story rich series which I fully recommend.

I remember when this game debuted and rusty lake put out ad after ad on the old cube escape site. I finally got around to getting and playing the game and WOW was the hype worth it. The sheer quality of the movie was astounding! The references to the previous games brought me back to playing these games as a young'in and brought more of the story together in an incredible way. If you've lightly followed the series as I have through the years you'll see familiar game mechanics along with new ones and twists on some old common ones. It took me about 5 hours to complete both parts and the film once. If you liked the first cube escape games, you will love this one.

Cube Escape: Paradox focuses on the detective Dale Vandermeer, with references and continuations to earlier Rusty Lake/Cube Escape games. While this game is free, the second chapter is a paid DLC. It also comes with a companion movie! The gameplay is the same as earlier games, interesting and unique puzzles together with a somewhat coherent story. The soundtrack is well-made and I love how they included FMV scenes from the companion movie. If you're a previous fan of the games from the Rusty Lake devs, this one is definitely recommend and you can play it for the price of free (and the second chapter isn't that expensive either)
