Cube Escape: Arles

Cube Escape: Arles is the 2015 entry that puts you in Vincent van Gogh's room — the only Rusty Lake game with a real historical protagonist.

Last updated 2026-08-26

The third game, and the one that steps outside the Vanderboom family entirely: the protagonist is Vincent van Gogh.

Where it sits in the series

Arles is the only entry in all nineteen games whose protagonist is a real historical person. It is also the point where the series shows it is not going to stay in one house with one family — a habit it keeps up through Harvey's Box and The Mill before settling on Dale Vandermeer.

What is confirmed

Everything this table does not list is in the unconfirmed notes on this page rather than filled in from a guess. The four-source basis for the catalogue is set out on all 19 games.

Play order

In release order this is number 3 of nineteen. It follows Cube Escape: The Lake and is followed by Cube Escape: Harvey's Box.

The two lines interleave by year, so a flat release list is not the same as reading the Cube Escape games first. The sorted version is on Rusty Lake games in order.

Not confirmed

We could not verify the following against a source we trust, so it is left out rather than guessed at.

  • Exact release date. The year is confirmed against two sources; the day is not.
  • Playtime. Rusty Lake has never published a figure for this entry and no aggregator lists one.
  • Current price and free/paid status. Being collected per entry from the store listings.
  • Platform list. Wikipedia does not give one for this entry and it has not been confirmed from a store page.
  • Metacritic only scores four Rusty Lake games. The absence of a score here is not a low score.
