## Bugs

* After the stove pipe is loosened in the Summer, water can be seen dripping from it in the Spring, even though this is chronologically inaccurate.
* If the golden key is used on the pot of water during Spring, it will disappear and be replaced by a Shrimp, rendering the game unwinnable. The only fix is to reset the entire game.
* A bug with the stove: turn on the first knob, light the stove, turn on the second knob, then turn off both knobs. At this point there should be no gas, yet the stove may still be ignited.
* If you prepare all the juices and didn't notice the bird, it never appears no matter how many times you try. Starting the radio may trigger it to appear.
* Occasionally, after interacting with the blueprint painting for the final time, the game will crash entirely. The only way to fix this is to restart the game entirely.
* Depending on what device/version of the game that you are playing, you may not be able to pick up Harvey's egg in Spring. If this happens, the only way to fix this is to play the game on a different device or a different version of the game.

## Soundtrack

* The music used for the title screen and memory selection screen is called "Blue Sizzle".
* The music for Spring is called "Promising Relationship".
* The music for Summer is called "Gymnopédie No. 3". It was composed by Erik Satie.
* The music for Fall is called "Reign Supreme".
* The music for Winter is called "Steel and Seething".
* The music on the cassette "My Favourite Song" is Egmont Overture Finale, an excerpt from the overture of Beethoven's Egmont Op. 84. This tune also appears in Cube Escape: Theatre, after "*B-A-D-E-G-G*" is played on the piano.

## Trivia

* Following the release of the Steam version, the Cube Escape Collection has 72 unlockable achievements.
* Even though Cube Escape: The Lake was released two days earlier, this game is officially the first in the series.
* Once you have used the wrench on the pipe by the oven in Summer, if you try to interact with the emerging mushrooms in Fall, the same occurrence will be seen as if you blended the mushrooms in Winter.
* The title card font is DJB See Spot Run.
* The appearance of Prozac in 1981 is an anachronism. Eli Lilly and Company didn't commercially introduce the drug until 1986.
