The second game Rusty Lake released, and the second of only two with Laura Vanderboom as the protagonist. It follows directly from Seasons, which is why the two are almost always played back to back.
Where it sits in the series
Laura carries exactly two entries, and they are entries 1 and 2. Every Cube Escape after this one hands the room to somebody else — Vincent van Gogh, then Harvey, then Dale Vandermeer for four games. If you want the pair that opens the series, it is Seasons and The Lake, in that order.
What is confirmed
| Released | 2015 |
| Line | Cube Escape — entry 2 of the nineteen, and the second of the 10 Cube Escape games |
| Protagonist | Laura Vanderboom |
| In Cube Escape Collection | Yes — the Steam bundle covers the first nine Cube Escape games |
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 2 of nineteen. It follows Cube Escape: Seasons and is followed by Cube Escape: Arles.
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.
