[@Am_lost_help]

I hope they do the entire Rusty Lake series, seems like the right balance of weird and interesting for Dan and Arin

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I have NEVER heard of this so the twist would have shocked me if it wasn't in the title... XD

[@psycless]

literally im so fucking happy they're playing this! rusty lake is one of my favorite series!

[@bruhkakke]

ABSOLUTELY. i think dan would adore the whole series, especially once they figure out the basic lore

[@Iffondrel]

And something that leads to a lot of interesting commentary, which I always appreciate

[@bruhkakke]

@@MCDexpo i personally loved it the most

[@TarotVylan]

Yet another game where Dan IMMEDIATELY guesses the entire plot of the game

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I have NEVER heard of this so the twist would have shocked me if it wasn't in the title... XD

[@YukoValis]

oh he has no clue lol. He guessed the course of events over the week, but couldn't possibly guess the reason for the animals, who you really are, and what the point is of the lake. This goes deeeep.

[@clarehidalgo]

@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 I remember watching a play though in 2016 by Dodger, the lady who used to host a show on Polaris , FRIEND ZONE, with Ross's ex-wife that Dan and Arin were guests a few times

Arin brute forcing the monkey puzzle while also being fully aware of the number of cymbal hits is so funny to me

[@otis3748]

It’s torture

[@Swagmaster65]

There's a fourth cymbal monkey in his head.

[@dr2boomer]

I am swearing at my phone, as if he can hear me. We read left to right in English lit, for God sakes.

[@lastimosaz]

Arin solving the monkey puzzle without getting it is such an Arin move.

[@Londrino]

I definitely don't get it either, so I'm impressed

[@davidbuddie4188]

@@Londrino the monkeys need to be clicked in a set order indicated by their eyes lighting up, if you click on the wrong one you have to start over but it's the same pattern every time

[@bailey3015]

what was it supposed to be?

[@shiisnotmad6013]

from left to right the monkeyys are 1,2,3 in order; the first one plays the cymbals 2 times, that means the next one to click is the second one, and so on

[@Jack-sy6di]

I just played this. I didn't get it either. I just assumed it was a memorization puzzle (like a million other games have)

[@arsonpage1371]

Arin's "We're the murderer?!" at 16:24 genuinely sounds like he's just experienced the most jaw dropping plot twist of all time

[@gracemangum]

It was very reminiscent of Dan's DDLC "Is this a harrar game?!" moment 😅

[@Geyrider]

@@gracemangum that shit kills me everytime

[@Stonestoat]

Dan and Arin’s complete inability to follow a line of logic all the way through the puzzle is fascinating to witness. All the small objects in Ms Pheasant’s rom were for the puppet show, but they had to figure it out from scratch every time.

[@quirkyviper]

The small axe part was painful! I'm yelling at the TV like it's a football game over here 😆

[@xuedragonsong7051]

​​@@quirkyviper OMG yes! I was yelling at my phone for a minute straight!

[@MM-bw2lu]

i guess its hard to keep track of logic like that when doing a show and talking to someone in an entertaining way? like when i talk to myself while doing a task i actually find myself drifting away from the task at hand; its very easy to get yourself distracted by just talking

[@Grimygray]

@@quirkyviper currently doing that rn!

[@ShelbyAQD]

5:20 Although deer mostly eat plants, they are actually opportunistic carnivores. For example, North American White-Tail Deer are known to eat smaller animals like rodents, fish, and birds. In a study a few years back, it was found that deer also tend to pick through the remains of recently deceased creatures, and are usually quick to investigate meaty bait.

[@bobuardodavinci93]

Wait, what? Grumps playing Rusty Lake? YES PLEASE! And like, maybe play all of them? 😘

[@gamingelementalist6725]

Definitely play all of them! XD

[@angeljesso]

I agree! Rusty lake should be a long form play

[@CaroGo]

Love the games and the Grumps, but let's be real, they are nowhere near smart enough to play these. The monkey puzzle nearly drove me insane

[@opaltides]

Ikr!! I love these games :)

[@Tatsumaki7]

They're pretty bad at just this one. No thank you!

[@tanishascott41]

I love how they were like "obviously the small rolling pin was for the puppet" but the small axe isnt 😂😂😂

[@CuteCuteJames]

To be fair, the rolling pin is on-brand for Punch and Judy. The axe, not so much.

[@shr00mski]

I’m losing my mind over how much time they took to figure that out 😂

[@francisforever1312]

It's a very strange feeling to see rusty lake hotel described as a "furry game"

[@gamingelementalist6725]

It is, but is it not?

[@nirobu]

​@@gamingelementalist6725technically, yeah. But its main selling point is that it's a surreal mystery point and click game :p the furry aspect is just set dressing 😅

[@Chugalg]

​@@nirobu so what you're saying is that, yes it 100% is a furry game.

[@MysticLuxray]

​@@Chugalg I mean, it's like saying Wind in the Willows or Peter rabbit are furry novels and I'm not down for that ರ⁠_⁠ರ

[@lautaromedina6158]

It's even more strange considering the rest of the series has only... 3 furries I guess?

[@twitchyb9950]

I know they are doing a show, but the Grump’s ability to miss what is right in front of their nose never ceases to amaze me!

[@gunderoo]

Grumps playing Rusty Lake games is a pipe dream I never thought I'd ever see, and now I'm here for it

[@bystandrr]

Watching Dan and arin figure out the monkey puzzle took at least 3 years off my life

[@suchnothing]

Theyre still adding to the series! A new one came out pretty recently, I haven't played it yet though.

[@l_osheanna_l]

​@@suchnothing OMG REALLY??? FOR SOME REASON I THOUGHT THEY STOPPED YEARS AGO

[@suchnothing]

@xxosheannaxx2416 the most recent is "the past within" which is a bit experimental, you have to co-op it. I played with my sister, it was pretty cool, but i dont know how much it fits into the story line. The next most recent is "Samsara Room" from 2020, which I haven't played.

[@madelinefowler6251]

seeing how barren and empty the grumps room is behind the cameras is like peeking into the backrooms. That was horrifying.

[@Cheezbuckets]

Me cheering when he finally put the bread on the sandwich 😂

[@morgann2938]

I think my favorite part is that they seem to immediately forget why they're in the guest's rooms. Arin just wants to take pictures for this lady. Such a helpful guy.

[@skidspace2452]

This is legit one of my favorite game series! I would love to see Arin and Dan explore the rest of the Rusty Lake mainline games

[@IRBork]

This game has heavy Newgrounds Escape Room Game vibes. Are they all like this? If so, I'm for it.

[@PKMNmastercass]

@@IRBork yep!

[@session1028]

@@IRBork The Rusty Lake games actually started as a series of Flash games; Samsara Room (the spiritual predecessor to the Cube Escape games) was released back in 2013. It wasn't until a few years ago that they transitioned to a different software platform but they kept the feel of the old Flash games.

[@shikabaneconga]

i cant stress this enough, thank you for adding the game titles again and to old videos too

I've never heard of this series but watching Dan and Arin solving these little puzzles while uncovering the weird plot is rather cathartic. It's nice to see them enjoying a game without having a mental breakdown......... yet lol

[@vortex9604]

I love the Rusty Lake and Cube Escape series. I recommend John Wolfe's playlist as I believe it is in order storywise.

[@levilore_7126]

Arin grumbling "how many fuckin licks" under his breath was so funny

[@FuzzyStripetail]

This game finally providing the world with the authentic sound that a magician's rabbit made was almost more magical than Arin trying to open Mr. Deer's safe by starting with a number combination of 1-1-1-1 then attempting to increase the last number by one until he ultimately gave up on successfully opening said safe.

[@ShadowXeneth]

Dan and Arin really SHOULD play the whole series on the show, there's even a 2 player asymmetrical co-op entry, (The Past Within) that the editors would have a blast messing with the changing perspectives on...

[@imaginarym00n]

the excitement of seeing someone play rusty lake games is unparalleled. yall need to play all of them theyre so flippin good

[@majorharmonic]

Have you played The Past Within? I don't really know anyone who likes escape games but it's co-op. Did you find the co-op improved things or made it difficult?

[@StripesZB]

I LOVE the Rusty Lake franchise. The games are really fun, the art style is great and the lore is fascinating. If you like this and you want to play more, I would suggest Rusty Lake Paradise, and their newest game, The Past Within. That last one is actually an exclusively coop 2-player game, so it'd be great for the grumps.

[@guybrushmonkey97]

I love Rusty Lake! Hope you eventually play them in order if you like this one!

[@maliklaidlaw8945]

[@Png_gaming]

These two are already so good with voice acting it takes me a moment to realise thats not the game’s actual voice acting. Their best work has to be in the sam and max hit the road videos.

[@fredrickgilmore4478]

My favorite moments are when Arin is tinkering away at a puzzle and all u can hear is the sound of the game and arin fully concentrating.

[@dustinkerman6150]

Interesting side note, "Jar Jar's Jar Jar Jar" was a fake game made by Oney as part of a JonTron Starcade episode. True story.

Jon - Arin wants nothing to do with. Oney - wants nothing to do with Arin. To my understanding

[@bashfulwolfo6499]

I’m so glad they played this, the Rusty Lake series are so underrated Also yes, deer can be carnivorous! They of course don’t go out hunting, but they will gladly snack on a carcass or even eat small animals. In fact most herbivores do this, as it helps give them a boost in nutrients that their diet barely provides. They missed quite a few ways to get ingredients, as they’re not involved with the rooms. For example the part with the Bat, if you clicked on him when he’s back to normal, he will give you potatoes. Mr. Crow also has a carrot if you click on him, and tomatoes are found after Mr. Boar goes to the bathroom for the second time, it is very concerning. Some they will encounter in the future will require them to click something several times, which I’m not sure if they will think of to do lmao. And for the wines, you would’ve had to kill the guests in a certain order to retrieve the glasses in the lobby.

[@airenmarie1250]

When I saw the thumbnail for this, I was so excited. The Rusty Lake series is one of my favorite game series. That being said, this is a lot more than a furry game. The entire series is connected and there's deep lore involved. Definitely check out the rest of the series.

HOLY SHIT PLEASE GIVE RUSTY LAKE THE LOVE IT DESERVES

The rusty Lake series is actually a really cool puzzle/mystery game series. i was super surprised to see this come up in my subs.

[@acemoriarty]

I HIGHLY recommend the other games in the series. The style is right up Dan's alley and arin will like the odd humor. You'll probably want a walkthrough for the others (you can figure it out but it takes a while and the grumps have a schedule to follow) But I feel like this would be something y'all would enjoy, and if any franchise deserves a "Grump Bump" it's Rusty Lake

[@diversifiedplural6294]
