#cube escape case 23

[rustyghostviolin]

If I was Dale I would be so pissed off when Mr. Owl was trying to make me the new Ruler of the Lake. Like your twinky little brother killed my parents and I'm afraid of fish and you want me to be the leader of a LAKE? I would not be having that, personally

Rusty lake presents: Case 23

I always imagined the puzzled look on Dale's face during that phonecall so I decided to draw it!

Theory: Laura will be the next lady of the lake and Dale will be the next ruler. I think every lady of the lake is a person who was wronged by the ruler in one way or another and the ruler is now haunted by their actions towards them

Hear me out, the first lady of the lake was Caroline Eilander, and the 'ruler' of the lake (as far as we know) was Nicholas Eilander, Caroline's husband who burned her at the stake after she saved Jakob. Caroline's corrupted soul then makes Paradise go through the 10 Plagues of Egypt (or atleast lets it happen) and makes sure Nicholas and the rest of the family can't reach her memories. She was wronged by Nicholas, and she makes him pay.

Elizabeth Eilander is the next lady of the lake (the lady of the lake wears the same dress as Ms. Pheasant, Elizabeth's animal form) and was the sister of Jakob (who would become Mr. Owl). Jakob was able to escape Paradise when he was a child with Caroline's help but Elizabeth was still trapped. When Jakob returns to Paradise, Elizabeth is the most willing to help Jakob and treats him like a brother instead of a servant, unlike the rest of the family. Jakob feels guilty for being the one to escape and not her, and that guilt haunts him.

And then comes Dale and Laura. It seems like the games have been propping Dale as the next ruler of the lake pretty heavily, but Laura I'd also a contender for that position. If my theory is correct, Dale will in fact become the ruler and Laura will become the lady of the lake. Dale never got justice for Laura and never truly solved her 'murder', his plan ever since he first got Case 23. Now that he's stuck in this lake business, I doubt he'd have any way to tell people the truth about Laura's cause of death. Who would believe him when he says he saw bird people and cubes that held memories?

The Ink Demonth 2023 - Day 25. Cycle

Day 25. Cycle Crossover: Cube Escape Me: Bendy. No. Bendy: But it's a good idea! Me: No, it isn't. They are corrupted soul. You have corrupted body. Minus and minus don't make a plus in this case. Bendy: :c

If anyone doesn't know what this is about, I'll explain. Cube Escape is a series of point and click games created by Rusty Lake and telling the story of a very messed-up family... There is a lot of brutality, a lot of dreamlike things and metaphors, and the whole thing revolves around Rusty Lake - a lake where memories melt and get lost. The entire series is, so to speak, a psychological reflection on the consequences of our actions, dwelling on the past and tormenting ourselves with bad memories. Also reincarnation in contex corrupted soul. Bad memories can corrupt the soul, and corrupted souls... well... are creepy. Really, really creepy.

My first game in the Cube Escape series was, if I'm not mistaken, The Mill, and then I played Seasons (second one, first one is The Lake), and then I tried to play it in order. The plot is very complex and with each subsequent game we discover more fragments of the past of the Vanderboom family (and people associated with them). Certain recurring motifs and a feeling of anxiety create a unique atmosphere - a bit of horror, a bit of crime-story, a bit of psychological drama plus a very oneiric narrative. Is it enough if I say that after playing Case 23 (which, nomen-omen, I never finished), I had nightmares and was afraid to go to the toilet in the dark? And I played it when I was a grown woman X"D

I love this series and am looking forward to the next parts. We already know the history and fate of individual characters - but new threads are constantly emerging. I'm honestly waiting for the next chapter of Paradox (I hope there will be one more) and I just noticed that Underground Blossom, announced some time ago, has been released... Guess who won't be able to complete all the Ink Demonths before September? XD

I decided to have some fun here and make a gif. Art has a lot of symbolism - firstly, it is a perfect square. Secondly, the colour changing from white to black - also corresponds to the theme of black and white cubes (with bad and good memories). Plus both textes of Corrupted Soul come from "Cube Escape: Seasons" in inverse order :) I highly recommend the game. It's really great.
