Rusty Lake: Roots Reviews

Deserves more tan 5 stars. A master piece.


We love love love this developer and these games (every single one of them), and Roots is our favorite of them all. LVE! And more please!


This game is amazing. The puzzles are challenging and the general mysterious creepy atmosphere is exciting. We hope they keep making more, we like the others too. If you like this one, try Paradise as well.


We are obsessed with the Rusty Lake games! We only have Paradox left to play. As a huge fan of Twin Peaks and Donnie Darko, these games are right up our alley. We cant wait to learn more about this story!


We love all of the games they have made, but this was so much better then the free ones. Plus it was long so it made it well worth your money. Would definitely recommend buying.


We cant even begin to describe the mind blowing wonderful joy of these games. We’ve played all of them, gifted them to friends and family, and theyve seriously blown every single other game/app out of the water. The creativity of these designers is insane. Our only complaint: there arent enough stories! Our life feels incomplete now that we’ve done them all. Please please please keep making more of them!! We could rave for days, but this should get our point across. You will not regret purchasing these. For beginners, start with Rusty Lake Paradise. We think its the most intriguing of them all.


We love the rusty lake series and this above all was th most creepiest totally recommended the puzzles were great and fun.


Ready for more whenever you are !!! Love this series so much.


Great puzzles, creepy atmos – what else do you need from a PnC game? Our only complaint is that we want more!!!!!!


Loved this game! Hard but not overly. Spectacular game. Thanks!


We’ve played all of these games in chronological order. The free ones are short, the chapters you have to pay for are much longer. Theyre worth purchasing. Do yourself a favor if you like creepy, interesting puzzle games. Buy and download all of the chapters, Google the chronological order of these games, and play them in order. We cant wait for more chapters to be released!


We do not regret purchasing this game at all. Played the collection over a month ago within such a short period, became engulfed in the story. This game truly helps piece it all together, makes you remember things from past games that bring the story to life. Some puzzles are simple, then theres ones Im stuck on for a day. Brilliant complexity and simplicity meshed together to piece together an amazing story. Very well done.


If your looking for a bizarre puzzle game that is both challenging and relaxing than this your game.


The narrative really holds our breath.


Thank you for making them inventive, dark, addictive, and entertaining. When we start one, we cant put it down until we finish. Im glad you have the you tube walk throughs, though we try not to use them, you do get stuck sometimes. We prefer logic to trial and error and most of the puzzles can be logicd. Thank you, we cant wait for another one. We wish you would do more after quests, like in this one, we really enjoyed going back for more!


We’ve played most of the rusty lake games and this one is our favorite so far. We plan on buying all the rest of their games after this. We see people putting these games down and we just dont get it. Everything about the games is, at the very least, more interesting than most other games of this genre. Great stories, artwork, puzzles, etc. Also, thanks a lot to the developers. Its really good of you to have put out so many great (and 100% free) games. We respect that a lot and will continue to support you in the future because of that fact. We dont mind paying, though. We’ve played for free for a long time now and we appreciate that. The games are fantastic. If you have doubts about buying the games, therere plenty to try out for free to get the feel of how the mechanics work. And not just 1 or 2 levels, full games. Thats a rarity anymore.


We previously wrote a review for one of the games in this series (the birthday one) without realizing the games were all connected because we had only played the first – we wrote feeling it was too violent. The suddenness of the storyline (the birthday one) took us way off guard since we didnt know it was a part of a much larger story. However, after playing through all of the games and finishing off with this one, Im completely blown away by the level of intricacy and detail invested in this series. Im actually preparing to go through a grieving process knowing Im all caught up on them, knowing Ill have to wait for the white door to continue our infatuation, and knowing that after that, Ill have to wait for more to be released (if that even happens – ahhh! . Excellent series – we highly recommend!


In all fairness Im writing this review before having finished Roots. We are a little over halfway through, and am parceling out the remaining chapters like pillow mints, one or two a day to make the experience last – and that aint easy, kid. Roots has everything… And more. Superb puzzles that feel organic in moving the story along. And what a story – replete with well-crafted characters whose motives and emotions are so bizarrely human. And all achieved without dialogue, only through unique artwork and audio effects. Perhaps it is inaccurate to think of Roots, (or any of the Cube escapes) as devastatingly dark comedy, but we do chuckle while we shudder. And the gleeful anticipation we had before playing this game couldve led to disappointment. But we really should know better than to worry about a letdown when Rusty Lakes involved. Silly us.


This is the best one out of the bunch! All of the Rusty Lake games are awesome, but Roots is the most interesting, fun, tricky, and intricate of them all. You get a full story with an interesting ending and just when you think the games is over… Awesome game and highly recommended!!!


But the baby at the end is that the murder victim in the cube escape games we NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!


If you like cube scapes you have to play this. It will connect everything and let you know about the blood line and family tree and …


Its a shame we didnt find out about the games these developers made earlier.


If youre debating buying this game: do it. We’ve tried escape room type games in the past and disliked them, but the Rusty Lake series hits differently. This game is amazing – its perfectly challenging (not so hard that its frustrating), has a haunting soundtrack and a totally fd up story to go along with it (nightmare fuel!). So worth the $2 for hours of gameplay and our new addiction to Rusty Lake games.


This game was awesome just like the others and we rlly like the new lore and creepy stuff and new characters. Only thing a little confusing with this game is none of the people have animals heads lol. But Im starting to think that all the animal head people represent some of these people so Im definitely not complaining! Cant wait til everything makes sense haha!!


We should write a review for each individual game theyve released in this Cube escape/Rusty Lake series, but there are just too many, so Im leaving our review here on perhaps our favorite of the bunch. These games are quite simply the best puzzle games we’ve ever played. The story is intriguing and bizarre and mysterious, the puzzles are just the right amount of challenging, the design and art are astounding and often slightly grotesque, which is always fun. Most of the games are free too, but the paid ones are totally worth the cost, 100 percent. We will continue to buy these games for as long as they keep putting them out. They are literally ALL good, every single one, and they seem to be getting better and better. Please keep up the good work team!


We’ve loved rusty lake since the first time we played one of their games, Im pretty sure it was paradox but we dont remember. Their puzzles are super fun and we love the story and how every game sorta matches up.


We love the rusty lake series! This one is specifically about the history of the Vanderboom family. It tells you who is the crow and who is Laura in Case 23. It also has some connection with the five guests at Rusty Lake Hotel… We just love the feeling of playing all these mysteriously interconnected games and figure the big story behind! Big thanks to Rusty lake game designers!!!!! Looking forward to discovering more of the story of the lake!


We love escape games and we’ve played all the Rusty Lakes that are available. Hoping for new additions soon!


We loved this game and enjoyed playing it so much! This game is great and for a puzzel solver like us will be captivated by this game. The game is also amzing in the way that makes us want to play it more. When we finish a level we do not want to stop playing. We think the cost of this game is worth it. The graphics alone are AMAZING! Thank you for making this game. It has given us something to do that is fun and challenging! Please make more games like this!!!


We just played it over for the second time (Im replaying all the rusty lake stuff now) but this one is by far our favorite. We love the elaborate storyline that stretches for three generations and each puzzle is so well done and perfect. We wish we could erase our memory to replay it for the first time. AND we love how its so long. So much great work and artistry has been put into this game. Its so good.


Its worth every penny, please never stop creating games guys.


We finished all the rusty lake games. It was genius and fun. We really addicted it. We hope from the developer more of these games. We recommend it to puzzle fans. Thank you.


Great game. Strange story but fun. Good puzzles.


This is the best ever game we played.


Im addicted to the whole Rusty Lake world. Just finished this puzzle game, the last one we had to complete. Not sure what Ill do now, but we look forward to the next Rusty Lake release.


The Rusty Lake games have become some of our all time favorite games. The storylines are great, the art style is great, the voiceovers are awesome. Overall amazing games and would definitely recommended you play them at least once.


We will always pay money for your games. Brilliant.


We’ve played all of the Rusty Lake games multiple and we LOVE THEM!!! Im also amazed that most of them are FREE! Thank you to everyone involved in this series, its EPIC!


Im a huge rusty lake fan. This game is worth playing for learning the back story, its pretty interesting. But we didnt find the puzzles very challenging compared to other games, you can breeze through it.


Hi Rusty Lake. Big fan of all your games. We’ve been playing for a long time. We recently bought Roots and came to a glitch that will not allow us to go forward in the game which is very disappointing because Ill have to restart the game in order to continue. We would like a refund if thats okay; even though we fully intend to keep playing the game and all your games in the future. Thank you for the joy youve brought us and we hope this message reaches you well.


We love all of the Rusty Lake games, and we understand the gruesomeness feeds the storyline – we can deal. We dont think that a character capturing semen is necessary, nor having a baby (or 3) drop from between a womans legs. Wasnt too excited to give a captured man dog urine to drink either. Unnecessary distractions in an otherwise well thought out game.


We love Rusty Lake games but we just dont find this one as fun. The compounding puzzles are one of our favorite parts and this one segments each stage beyond the usual so that its really more a series of mini games instead of one fluid experience. Its like RL is getting away from the core concept we all fell in love with. That said, Im an addict for their puzzles so Im still going to play through and get our moneys worth :) graphics are on point as usual but we miss the creepy audio.


There is only one thing standing in the way of this app earning five stars: it has at least one bug that causes the player to have to restart a chapter of the story. Ill be happy to give once the is fixed!


We have 2 blue birds in war hero. Cant go any further. Help!


Love these games!!! However, at the end, when we were weighing the body parts, the numbers we came up with werent working! Also there was a 1 written on one of the pictures so we thought that was a clue like 3 on the hair picture, but it didnt do anything. We had to use the walkthrough to get the right numbers, even though we have no idea where they came from.


At the heart of this game is Escape the Room type puzzles. Its probably the best of them if you like those games. We particularly dont. Its strong points are that its got a back drop macabre storyline where the story does move forward in the background as you proceed and while many of the puzzles are different than most and more interesting, its still ridden with click-fest mentality bordering on ridiculous room entities such as wood planks that slide up and down a window but arent removable but they slide freely as if theyre magically there. You also have puzzles where you need a combination and all you have to do is click some wall picture to get it. To us, thats not a puzzle, its a click-fest. Some are more clever than that but the pattern is there. Escape fans will delight while old-time adventure gamers will turn their noses.
