[@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 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)

[@Eve.with.a.Y]

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

[@bruhkakke]

[@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

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!

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 😂

[@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 😅

[@klausoshaunacey8429]

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.

@@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

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

[@korkoraliasher1132]

One of these days I hope we get a Game Grumps Compilation that's all the times Dan tells Arin to take it easy

[@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.

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.

I’ve literally played this whole series and it’s absolutely incredible, I’m so happy to see them playing it ❤️

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.

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.

When Rusty lake made their first game a small KZbinr I was watching called riskrim(?) played it and after a few years of course I forgot about it I played one recent game a couple months ago because of a huge nostalgia moment that had a small movie with it too and I was excited to see that the series is still alive even though it doesn't seem like people care But now every KZbinr is starting to play the Rusty lake games and I am so excited after SO MANY years of these games being out there they are finally getting the attention they deserve!!

[@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.

[@vivisextion]

Dan and Arin should play the Past Within! Same developers but it's co-op, it would be fun watching them try to play it and work together.
