Cube Escape: Theatre

Cube Escape: Theatre is the eighth game and Dale Vandermeer's third of four. Where it sits in the Rusty Lake play order and how to play it on PC.

Last updated 2026-08-26

The eighth game, the second of the two 2016 releases, and Dale Vandermeer's third of four.

Where it sits in the series

Theatre is the last entry before the line goes annual: The Cave follows in 2017 and Paradox in 2018, and then the Cube Escape line stops. It is also the last of Dale's entries to be free-standing before Paradox closes his run.

What is confirmed

Released2016
LineCube Escape — entry 8 of the nineteen, and the eighth of the 10 Cube Escape games
ProtagonistDale Vandermeer
In Cube Escape CollectionYes — 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 8 of nineteen. It follows Cube Escape: Birthday and is followed by Cube Escape: The Cave.

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.
