Things we know to be true based on the 3 Rusty lake game. Spoiler warning. - Paradise is the first in timeline, in the 1700s roughly 100 years before hotel. - Roots take place during hotel, the puzzle involving observing animals through a telescope in root seems to be canon to the timeline. - Crow is one of the brothers of the Venderboom in root and uncle of James. When drinking elixir, one died and become ghost(PC), the other one survive and end up working in the hotel. - Cube escape are mostly came after the three Rusty Lake Game in timeline. Conjectures: - Jakob most likely did end up becoming an immortal wereowl at the end of Paradise. - The island of Hotel and Paradise are the same.
Good points and guesses, but one thing to say is that there aren't 3 games in the rusty lake series, there's 12. Nine of the games in the series are free, short games that are considered part of the story and do reveal a fair bit more. Namely figuring out how the Venderboom tie into everything with roots, who the baby was, who the man in the ascending elevator is, who and what the hotel guests really were/are, and what Mr. Owl's entire motivation is for all of this. Things like that.
+Mellomori Ya I am still working through Cube escape myself so it is hard to say. Trying not to spoil cube escape for people browsing through here. Rose and baby 2.0 are most likely not involve in the prequels as far as I have seen. Still figuring out if they are involved in cube escape. Hotel's PC is also still a mystery to me, within the timeline he could be Jakob, or his father or brother or not related at all it is hard to say what exactly happen at the end of paradise. My theory for hotel is that Jakob became Mr Owl and has been sacrificing memory cubes to the lake to appease his mom who is now Lady of the Lake. The animal could be his family who gain immortality after sacrificing him, their reincarnated soul, or just some asshole who share similar traits to his family. Deer/father being obsessive toward knowledge, Rabbit/brother being a trickster, Boar/Uncle being a brute. Maybe grandma was torturing her children before like Pigeon? I am not sure if the sister was willing to kill herself for attentions. But ya, maybe some symbolism in cube escape will narrow down the answer, so far it still escape me.
Hmm, its hard to say since its hard to figure out who Harvey is. It hard to say if he's a bird turned into something like a human for hotel, or if hes a human turned bird, or something in between like the bat, who keeping spoilers as small as possible, we do see in the cube escape games and is still his strange animal humanoid self.
I never made the connection that parrot Harvey and Hotel PC are the same. But ya, in Root Harvey shown up after you point a telescope at hotel. I guess Mr Crow sent it.
Jesse you really gotta play the cube escape games. They're suuuper important to the overarching story. Also they're not just mobile games you can play them in browser
this game and the cube escape stuff is so weird. here you're making a bloody mary for a deer with his own blood taken from breaking off one of his antlers, water from the lake that you just took out with a bucket you found lying around the room, tabasco sauce that drips from the nostrils of the deerskull in the room and then finally poison from a mysterious plant grown by putting a seed you found inside a moth into a little jar which grew to full size in seconds giving you seeds which you ground up, rendered into liquid poison, put into his drink and served AS HE WAS WATCHING YOU FROM HIS SEAT THE WHOLE TIME
Really been enjoying the streams you’ve been posting. I don’t make it over to Twitch very often to catch them so it’s nice being able to watch them here.
The first game in the trilogy?!? Nonono. It all started in May 2015 with Cube Escape: Seasons, and by the time this game came out there were already six others. There are now thirteen. Plus, most of the ideas and art style in these games come from Samsara Room, released by the future Rusty Lake dev(s) in Sep 2013.
Ahh now I get it. It was confusing with the comments but I think Jesse replayed the game to get a better idea of the whole lore (since he said oh god I remember the photoahoot). I actually had to do that to figure out what the hell all of this means after Paradise. But still, its like a trip down memory lane....that makes it really confusing. :Y
I wish that Jesse used a face cam more frequently, because his streams feel so much more personal to me. I love being able to see his reactions to what's happening in the game, because I relate to his expressions so much. Keep doing what you're doing, Jesse. Sending love and positivity always.
It was hurting my astrology obsessed soul seeing him call the ram a goat and he was SO sure about that changing everything that he was IMMEDIATELY confident about instead of the one he was not as sure about. Skskskskdnksksk JESSE 😭😭😭😭
Jesse, I'm surprised you never played ALL the games, Rusty Lake AND Cube Escape. You would find out so much more. In Rusty Lake Roots you also didn't finish the game; you never got all the family secrets at the end, which actually make more sense when you play the Cube Escape games.
Still sure that the black cubes showing those animals are just those who have died while Jesse was playing. I mean their skulls are decorating the place. Now I'm wondering what would happen if he selected them in order.
Die Hard 3 gallon problem: You have 3 gallon bottle and 5 gallon bottle. - fill the 5 gallon bottle entirely - pour the water out of 5 gallon bottle to 3 gallon bottle so in 5 gallon bottle the remaining amount of water is 2 gallons. -pour all the water from 3 gallon bottle out. -you have 2 gallons of water in 5 gallon bottle and empty 3 gallon bottle -pour 2 gallons out of 5 gallon bottle into 3 gallon bottle and then fill the 5 gallon bottle -now you have 3 gallon bottle, which contains 2 gallons and 5 gallon bottle which contains 5 gallons. -fill the 3 gallon bottle with 5 gallon bottle and you have 4 gallons of water in your 5 gallon bottle. - 4 gallons was the required amount.
I know this is old but if any other people are confused "dinner" in the uk is actually lunch . and dinner in the uk is supper. so that's why dinner is during the day.
I have never heard of the Rusty Lake games before but I'm 15 mins into this video and its really interesrting. Is there an order that these should be watched?
I can't tell you about an order to watch (since I'm not sure he's played all of them), but I can tell you about an order to play: 1. Cube Escape: Seasons 2. Cube Escape: The Lake 3. Cube Escape: Arles 4. Cube Escape: Harvey's Box 5. Cube Escape: Case 23 6. Cube Escape: The Mill 7. Rusty Lake Hotel 8. Cube Escape: Birthday 9. Cube Escape: Theatre 10. Rusty Lake Roots 11. Cube Escape: The Cave 12. Rusty Lake Paradise 13. Cube Escape: Paradox All Cube Escape games are free online Flash games, except Paradox, which is half free download and half paid.
Who wants to bet that the chef is a maniac on the road? #PoopPoop Also, I feel like this game should answer the ultimate question: how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll centre of a Tootsie Pop? But seriously: "let's make some memories". Knowing Paradise makes that line all the more meaningful.
wait, I thought he had played this one already? had he not? OH MY GOD. Like, a week ago I was desperately searching the deep web for his LP of Rusty Lake Hotel and had to assume that the old gods had simply swallowed it. BUT THE WHOLE TIME I WAS SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING THAT HAD YET TO EXIST I am having a crisis
I just watched her play through a week ago :( Not that I don't like Dodger, I just experienced the other two with Jesse and I'm sad I couldn't first-hand experience it with him again.
Watching Dodger's version on TH-cam will actually probably be more fun, just because she's going in blind (And doesn't accidentally Sequence Break through the last room), so you get the full "What the Fuck is happening!?" reaction that makes these games fun to watch.
This is the first "rusty lake" but far from the first game. The first series is cube escape. All three rusty lake games are in fact the side plots. You only see the main character for a moment here. That same man that people mistakenly think they were playing all along here. The person in the elevator is Dale, not harvey, whom mr owl called you at the end. You trying to understand this? hah. By playing only the premium you are just glancing at the rabbit standing outside its deep creepy hole behind it.
He’s talked about it like he’s played before, but if he has it wasn’t posted on TH-cam. Dodger played it on her own and I think mentioned Jesse’s play through when she was stuck on a puzzle.
Yeah he mentioned early in the video that he had played it but didn't post the vod here on youtube. I think he just wanted to play it again after completing the last one to see how he could line up the stories and used putting up here as an excuse to do it again.
"Oh that's right, this game is crazy." - Jesse Cox.
I don't know why but that delivery and timing just killed me.
I don't know why, but this stream has become my go-to video whenever I've had a hard day. Loved it back then, still love it now
Idk why but I can totttaaallly imagine Davis doing the game voice-over at the beginning
God dammit, I'm rewatching this for White Door and Samsara Room and now I *can't unhear it.*
Someone should send Davis a Mr. Owl mask.
jesse we need a deep dive and a lore video/conclusion to all your theories at the end of all of it
Things we know to be true based on the 3 Rusty lake game. Spoiler warning.
- Paradise is the first in timeline, in the 1700s roughly 100 years before hotel.
- Roots take place during hotel, the puzzle involving observing animals through a telescope in root seems to be canon to the timeline.

if you want a more "streamlined" experience play "Cube : the cave" last.
Jesse you really gotta play the cube escape games. They're suuuper important to the overarching story. Also they're not just mobile games you can play them in browser
JESSE HAS HEARD MY PLEAS!!
Hell yea dude MINE TOO!!!!
Mr Owl sounds like WarpZone Davis doing a Morgan Freeman impression.
this game and the cube escape stuff is so weird. here you're making a bloody mary for a deer with his own blood taken from breaking off one of his antlers, water from the lake that you just took out with a bucket you found lying around the room, tabasco sauce that drips from the nostrils of the deerskull in the room and then finally poison from a mysterious plant grown by putting a seed you found inside a moth into a little jar which grew to full size in seconds giving you seeds which you ground up, rendered into liquid poison, put into his drink and served AS HE WAS WATCHING YOU FROM HIS SEAT THE WHOLE TIME
That's the point. It's surreal. It doesn't follow the rules we're used to.
Mr. Deer: “I’m more of a meat person.”
_Literally._
You could say that since he hasn't played the game in a while, Jesse is a bit... Rusty
Yeah, those last few parts are references to Cube Escape... You gotta play those to understand who the guy in the elevator is, who Harvey is, etc.
Really been enjoying the streams you’ve been posting. I don’t make it over to Twitch very often to catch them so it’s nice being able to watch them here.
AeJin Lee ya know, you can also watch them on twitch? :)
(Just go on his channel -> videos)

*looks at a square*
"So, the triangle..."
Jesse, did you fail shapes?
Ahh now I get it. It was confusing with the comments but I think Jesse replayed the game to get a better idea of the whole lore (since he said oh god I remember the photoahoot). I actually had to do that to figure out what the hell all of this means after Paradise.
But still, its like a trip down memory lane....that makes it really confusing. :Y

50:00 I watched Doogs play this long ago, but I never got to catch you go at it.
I would love to see you do more puzzle Games 😁😁
As someone who has never seen or heard of Rusty Lake: WHAT THE FUCK?
YAY THERE WE GO I have been looking for this for 1000 years ;w;
Gotta love punch and judy, brings me back to my childhood 😂
For the longest time I thought the bellman was a cat
It was hurting my astrology obsessed soul seeing him call the ram a goat and he was SO sure about that changing everything that he was IMMEDIATELY confident about instead of the one he was not as sure about. Skskskskdnksksk JESSE 😭😭😭😭
just finished watching your paradise playthrough good fuckin timing dude
I am so glad this is back
I vividly remember watching you play through this game episodically, broken up as a dinner per episode.
Oooh I love these type of games
Loved the other rusty games u played.
I know this is a quite macabre and gruesome game, but damn if those dinners don't actually sound really tasty. D:
Jesse, I'm surprised you never played ALL the games, Rusty Lake AND Cube Escape. You would find out so much more. In Rusty Lake Roots you also didn't finish the game; you never got all the family secrets at the end, which actually make more sense when you play the Cube Escape games.
PLEASE DO A RUSTY LAKE THEORY VIDEO!
Don't know why, but I always picture the bat guy as Crenbat.
Oh yay!? I never thought I'd get to see him play this. I searched for his play through but it was gone. This is a replay right?
Edit: yep
Sweet! I know he mentioned doing this stream, but I never was able to see it originally...
Love Rusty Lake games
Since Jesse is replaying this game, does that mean we're also getting a video to tie the lore together and create wonderful theories?
Thanks Jesse for uploading this.
7:00 Mr Deer
23:19 Mr Rabbit
37:00 Mrs Pigeon
53:00 Ms Pheasant
1:09:12 Mr Boar
1:22:07 Mr Owl
yesssss but dude, you know that this means you gotta replay everything just to figure it all out
I was thinking the art style looked really familiar! I played Cube Escape: Seasons.
Still sure that the black cubes showing those animals are just those who have died while Jesse was playing. I mean their skulls are decorating the place. Now I'm wondering what would happen if he selected them in order.
Harvy is a parrot from cube escape
I just realized this is called the Stream of Coxciousness...
I remember watching Jesse playing this on twitch.
I been looking for this video ever since he uploaded rusty lake roots I thought it had been lost to the ethers
Jesse, you're the best!
Please play Rusty Lake: Roots as well. It's got some great puzzles and an even crazier story.

-fill the 3 gallon bottle with 5 gallon bottle and you have 4 gallons of water in your 5 gallon bottle.
- 4 gallons was the required amount.
YES! thank you!
I know this is old but if any other people are confused "dinner" in the uk is actually lunch . and dinner in the uk is supper. so that's why dinner is during the day.
Secret to puzzle solving when you're stumped: just keep doing it until it becomes solved.

Oh hi Aldous
I have never heard of the Rusty Lake games before but I'm 15 mins into this video and its really interesrting. Is there an order that these should be watched?
I can't tell you about an order to watch (since I'm not sure he's played all of them), but I can tell you about an order to play:
1. Cube Escape: Seasons
2. Cube Escape: The Lake
3. Cube Escape: Arles
4. Cube Escape: Harvey's Box
5. Cube Escape: Case 23
6. Cube Escape: The Mill
7. Rusty Lake Hotel
8. Cube Escape: Birthday
9. Cube Escape: Theatre
10. Rusty Lake Roots
11. Cube Escape: The Cave
12. Rusty Lake Paradise
13. Cube Escape: Paradox
All Cube Escape games are free online Flash games, except Paradox, which is half free download and half paid.
13:22 I remember going mad from this before as well.
I saw this at some point with Jessie sonjaculating about butterflies, I'm sure of it. But I've never seen him stream! Was it on here at some point?
Please play the third rusty lake game now! So i can have bindged you playing all of them in sequence
"No wonder I don['t like tomatoes." Neither do I, anymore.
29:35 "so yeah I'm just gonna ignore what just happened why not"
50:15 "i'm shocked" i see what you did there
I LOVE THESE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOF
26:09 SOMETHING slid into the window! What the hell was it?
Yeah ok, he saw it later. Thought I was going crazy.
"god bless the power of top"
Sweet!
yesssss thank you!!!!
Does Jesse have a VOD of Rusty Lake roots?
th-cam.com/video/kchLMisRKRA/w-d-xo.html
Cox Game Theory: Rusty Lakes
Get on it internet! XD
Who wants to bet that the chef is a maniac on the road? #PoopPoop
Also, I feel like this game should answer the ultimate question: how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll centre of a Tootsie Pop?
But seriously: "let's make some memories". Knowing Paradise makes that line all the more meaningful.
That frog is a french Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Jesse you da best
The animals and the family are different people
Battle chasers playthrough PLEEZ!! lol
FINALYYYY
"God bless the power of...top."
Is this a repost or did he replay this game?
lobofelagund replay
He said he's replaying it because the vod was lost
Rusty Lake!!!
wait, I thought he had played this one already?
had he not?
OH MY GOD.
Like, a week ago I was desperately searching the deep web for his LP of Rusty Lake Hotel and had to assume that the old gods had simply swallowed it.
BUT THE WHOLE TIME I WAS SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING THAT HAD YET TO EXIST
I am having a crisis
Jesse allready played some of the other sequels, right? Can anyone confirm whether or not there are spoilers for those games in this LP?
DerOrk most likely
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS OMG JESSSE I WANTED THIS SOOO BAD....now im glad i didnt watch dodger
I just watched her play through a week ago :(
Not that I don't like Dodger, I just experienced the other two with Jesse and I'm sad I couldn't first-hand experience it with him again.
Watching Dodger's version on TH-cam will actually probably be more fun, just because she's going in blind (And doesn't accidentally Sequence Break through the last room), so you get the full "What the Fuck is happening!?" reaction that makes these games fun to watch.
Parker Dixon-Word nah
Rusty Lake? Could someone explain
YESSSSSS
Seemless cut at 13:21 :)
Did no one else notice the cat and the bat were the same person?
This is the first "rusty lake" but far from the first game. The first series is cube escape. All three rusty lake games are in fact the side plots. You only see the main character for a moment here. That same man that people mistakenly think they were playing all along here. The person in the elevator is Dale, not harvey, whom mr owl called you at the end.
You trying to understand this? hah. By playing only the premium you are just glancing at the rabbit standing outside its deep creepy hole behind it.
you must be fun at parties.
@Ilyasa. I'm not sure what you are implying. I am merely saying the rusty lake stories are much more straight forward compared to cube escape.
Yeah, Jesse really needs to play the Cube Escape series too.
In case you were looking for the end of the beetle puzzle: 42:00
There is a youtuber who does a commentary of what happens in each game
His account is Rusty Lake explained
But who is the frog?
HOW THE hell do i watch these in order
Didnt he already play this?
Pretty sure he played it with dodger?
He’s talked about it like he’s played before, but if he has it wasn’t posted on TH-cam. Dodger played it on her own and I think mentioned Jesse’s play through when she was stuck on a puzzle.
Yeah he mentioned early in the video that he had played it but didn't post the vod here on youtube. I think he just wanted to play it again after completing the last one to see how he could line up the stories and used putting up here as an excuse to do it again.
Rabbit = Magic
Pigeon = Science
Pheasant = Art
And Mr. Owl is killing all three of them. This game is crazy.
MORE SERIES
Is the voice the dude from the right opinion?
40:00 Jesse would be a very bad Go player.
Hasn't he played this already? Or was it Dodger?
They both did. Doog's is on her channel as well, Jesse's old run was a stream, it's not on TH-cam.
remember member guys
I only remember dodger playing this.
:)
Hey jesse, can you bring back the hot dog/life is strange t-shirt?
Mr Howl is Morgan Freeman
