Cube Escape: Seasons

Cube Escape: Seasons is the 2015 game that started Rusty Lake — one room, four seasons, Laura Vanderboom. Where to play it free and what it sets up.

Last updated 2026-08-15

The first game Rusty Lake ever released, and the one the whole series keeps pointing back at. One room, revisited across four seasons — Spring 1964, Summer 1971, Fall 1971 and Winter 1981 — with Laura Vanderboom as the protagonist.

It is short, it is free on mobile, and it is the entry point the play order page recommends. Start here.

Why it comes first

Seasons is not the most polished Rusty Lake game and it is not trying to be. It establishes the room, the family, the bird, and the habit of telling you almost nothing — every later entry assumes you have been in this room. Playing the series in any other order means meeting the payoffs before the setup.

Not confirmed

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

  • Playtime. Neither of the walkthrough sources states one, and Rusty Lake has never published a figure for the Cube Escape entries.
  • Exact release date within 2015. The year is confirmed against two sources; the day is not.
