I have played almost every game in the rusty lake series, this and every other has been an amazing experience, the puzzles never feel like they are used too much and the overarching story has been full of so many interesting points. I recently played Rusty lake hotel to have a look, again, into the earlier works in the series and you can really see how much effort the developers have put into improving the preformance and the puzzles in the newer titles. The gold standard for point and click.

Such a great game! Variety of puzzles and the story is full of suspense! Not too hard, not too easy. I only checked the walk through a couple times when I overlooked a clue. (Thank you for putting time stamped video links for each section!!) I have played the other Rusty Lake games over the years and each time a new one is released they get better and better! If you're reading this get the game.

I only played the free games and this is my first paid game from Rusty Lake. Even though I do not know the story really well, the game gives references to previous games and is really immersive. The sound and game design is fantastic. I love the puzzles and the variety this time round. The puzzles are creative and do test your wit, and not hard to solve. I just wish the game was longer. I am more inclined to play the other installments now.
