The games in the Rusty Lake series are primarily in English, though words from other languages are used on occasion. The primary alternative language is Sanskrit, as many spiritual terms and concepts are taken from Buddhist and Hindu philosophy.
From Cube Escape: Theatre onward, the games are available to play in multiple languages, though full voiced audio will only be available in English. Eighteen languages are options in both games, English, Dutch, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Danish, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Swedish, Vietnamese and Norwegian.
