There’s something about Rusty Lake, it’s irresistible to me in a way. It’s probably the weirdness of it all, and the fact I still can’t understand anything other than that the Vanderbooms had some god awful wallpaper. Roots was a longer instalment, the variety in puzzles going beyond anything I’ve played before—the overall aim was to collect body parts from the family for a ritual.

It’s because of the sheer volume of puzzles that some didn’t quite stick. Thirty-three levels with secrets that were only available at the end, that was a lot of stuff to do and definitely got the brain working. Some moments I even had to consult a guide, despite always trying my best to avoid them.

Best Rusty Lake story wise, gameplay wise, puzzle wise, wise wise.

while some of the puzzles are a little obtuse (and the last one in particular was frustrating, where it presents you with vital information only after solving the puzzle) i loved seeing how each branch of the story progressed

I'd be down to play it more. After the "The White Door" and The rusty lake hotel games I actually liked this one was the way to go just didn't get myself in it for too much. I'll be back.
