Great puzzles. Cant wait until they make more. Highly recommend if you like to use your brain.
Our favorite escape room/puzzle game so far. Unique.
The only complaint is that there arent many many many more games. We have played all by Rusty Lake and our expectations are now too high to enjoy any other game. Until your next wonder.
Ever since we played our first rusty lake game, The samsara room, we were mesmerized by the amazing graphics and plot. It is true that nobody does it like rusty lake and that the whole world should try any of the rooms such as, The white door, seasons, samsara room, the birthday, the paradox and so many more. Thank you rusty lake for giving us some of the best games in the whole world.
Another excellent game by Rusty Lake. Everyone of their games we have greatly enjoyed.
Usually, one game in Rusty Lake games are too hard for us to complete. Usually because they take pure creativity and there are no clues in the scene. This game had that, but we were still able to use our creativity to beat it. We loved the storyline and the artistic touch to this game. So beautiful and fun. It took us about 2 hours to finish (we had some interruptions, so Im estimating.).
Im a 33 year old mom and dont usually play games on our phone, but Samsara Room happened to come across recommendations in the App Store and our kid was asleep so figured why not. Ive now played almost every single game Rusty Lake offers, including the ones that cost money. We would recommend playing this one after the collection. It was interesting to see glimpses of the other games here and there in the story. This game is simply brilliant. Please keep the games in this series coming, we will keep playing.
Ive now played all your games, ready to try them again without appwrappers help. These are amazing, creative, brain teasing, mystical. Thanks so much for opening our world to computer games.
We fell in love with the story, it shows that mental health is the worst pain in our heart, we love how we finally got to find out the backstorys of these characters and that we finally got to hear the womans voice (or laura) we love yall, please keep on making great games.
This game is ideal in every sense of the word – from impeccable music to the plot and graphics . Stellar through and through.
Ive been playing this games for almost 8 years and we love all of them. Theyre strange and fun. The puzzles are challenging and not too hard to figure out. Its more fun that way in our opinion. We also love the story and the strange characters.
Truly one of their best games! Please give us more.
Rusty Lake are hands down the best phone games Ive ever come across. Excellent storyline that spans over the entire collection. Brain bending puzzles that are hard but not impossible. Consistent new content at a price well under what theyre worth. Ive played through them all a few times and we just love them. 10/10 highly recommend.
Great game, just the right amount of challenge. Looking forward to all other rusty lake games.
This is a great introduction to the magic that is Rusty Lake, but also perfect and satisfying for anyone already familiar with their games. Beautiful, moody, relaxing, and enjoyable. Highly recommend.
Im a new father of two. Our three year old daughter was diagnosed with nonverbal autism and it has been extremely challenging for our wife and we. Often to a very close to terminal mental point with us personally. Ive been going through a host of emotions Ive never had before and Im not self aware enough to notice them. When the events started happening in The White Door chapter of this game, we completed the entire remainder of the story with our face absolutely drenched in tears. We identify with the main character in a massive way, but for a different reason and the ending was absolutely perfect for us. We get it. Rusty Lake is the GOAT for this one. (Gotta get our composure back).
Even though we completed this almost a year ago Im going to write a response. This game was so enjoyable and has a great story. We really enjoyed the hidden spots of the story and thought this is a great game to play with your head. We recommend to all who want to enjoy a meaningful experience for an movie game. We appreciate the developers, peace.
The game play was seamless, paced like a meditation that was perfect for the story. The puzzles were clever and difficult enough to keep you interested but not frustrated. Beautiful drawing, perfect sound and voicing. All around totally satisfying game. Thank you, Rusty Lake.
Just besides Milo, this game makes us wanna cry, we love it. Its a great depiction of mental illness, loss, and Samsara.
We came across Rusty Lake, and started trying their games/puzzles. We love how they all seem to tie together, so far. Seem to, anyway.. A lot to discover – another great thing about them.. We will see, for sure.
Found the Rusty Lake series earlier this week and have gotten totally sucked in! This Installment was very good. The only thing we wish is it were slightly longer. Either way off to download more.
Youd expect the same gauge storyline as the other games, however. This is the first game in the storyline. The voice acting is incredible. The story made us cry. The visuals were amazing. Please, dont ever give up. Keep making more games for the community,.
We wish it was longer, but we balance this against all the free games Ive played by RL. Worth the $3.
We are here 2 years later and still playing this game everytime we forget how to. At first, we were expecting an escape room or an indoor mystery, but the unexpected plot and interaction in the game made us love rusty lake even more. Please make more games like this.
This is a beautiful game. We wish there were more like this.
Vale la pena y es bastante importante para la historia de la saga es de los mejores en relacin con la interaccin con el entorno si no el mejor, si bien no es el ms difcil tampoco es exageradamente fcil y tiene bastantes cosas relativamente nuevas.
To everyone saying this RL game was short, that means you werent paying close enough attention to the intricacies that existed! From switching between YT and Insta and completing hacks, besides the basic storyline, this game took us 3 extra hours to complete because we didnt want to miss any hidden details! If you have any complaints about how short everything felt, our best suggestion would be to go back and make an effort in searching for hidden achievements/levels.
Break saturday afternoon chill time on a cold rainy day. We had a special chocolate and some hot tea. Highly recommend if you are in a rusty lake kinda mood. 420.
We just finished the cube escape games and then found this companion game. We got sucked in immediately. We highly recommend.
We love every single game we have played from this developer and this game did not disappoint. It amazes us how each game gets better and better.
You really should have a psychological profile assessment before playing these games.
GUYS, LISTEN! THIS IS A FULLY VOICED, COMPLETELY FINISHED, ABSOLUTELY STUNNING GAME FOR ONLY THREE DOLLARS? BUY IT. IT IS SO FUN.
We love Rusty Lake games and this is one of the best so far. If youve never played one of their games we highly recommend them.
Ive always loved rusty lake games theyre so clever and calming and the atmosphere always get u in the mood of whatever theyre trying to achieve we hope the creators of this game are proud of themselves because they made an amazing well done game.
Once we found Rusty Lake we had to keep playing all the cube escape apps. Then we found this app. Had to try it. Was pretty difficult and we ended up looking up help for getting all the achievements. Definitely worth getting the game.
We have played all there games and really recommend them all. You should at least give them a try..you wont be disappointed.There very compelling with a lot of twists and turns with even some humor thrown in.we started with the free games and just couldn't walk away without finishing the rest.Im just so glad we stumbled across this developers work.and will be waiting for more.we just wish there were more because they truly are one of a kind and worth every penny.Thanks Rusty Lake for all youre hard work.
The love story between Bob and Laura that this chapter portraits really gives us many feels and we just cant help feeling a bit sad for what had happened to them. We have played all rusty lake series and cube escape series(except paradox which we will play next and finally), but it is after playing this one that we started to really grasp the meaning of the all these shadowy figures(thanks to the double-screen setup and monologue, they help you better understand the character) we found them creepy and scary but now we also see them with sympathy and we feel for them. And with this review we just want to thank the Rusty Lake Team for developing such an amazing world! Definitely will keep an eye out for new chapters ^ ^.
This game is ONLY for you as a Rusty lake fan. If youre not into the cube universe we really doubt you will enjoy this. That being said, Im proud of rusty lake team, youve managed to create a mysterious tho beautiful universe, with such an original touch and intriguing as always charm. We get the change of rythm, this is more like an interactive novel than an escape room but it is hands down the best story Ive seen in long time, revisiting bobs depression and being able to see Dale as a character in this story was satisfying. Congratulations rusty lake. You never cease to amuse us.
This was so fun that we literally cried when it was over.
If you arent crazy when you start it you will be after playing, dont recommend playing before bed.
And strange as watching a David Lynch film.
Ive played the entire cube escape series and then this. We cant explain how surreal this experience has been. We had tears in our eyes when we reached the end of this one So depressing, but oddly reassuring..The ones we love and the memories we collect throughout our lives never truly leave us. It stays alive in our minds. Our souls. Our outlook on life depends on our will to find the light. The past is never dead, after all.
We think Ive played them all now! Look for our review on our puzzle app blog gottasolveit dot blogspot.
We have been OBSESSED with rusty lake games for years, and the white door just tied everything together!!! We had so much fun tying everything back to the other games- everything clicked!!! Please make more games- im addicted.
This was our favorite game out of all of the rusty lake games so far. Amazing! It wasnt too hard and had a good storyline.
Fun puzzles (check), creepy storyline (check), leaves you wanting more (check). This was an awesome game. We couldnt put it down until we finished it. We highly recommend it to people who like creepy puzzle games. If you liked Braid, you would probably like this game also.
The game was great and very interesting we would love to see more not only that but the secrets hidden inside the game are amazing.
Istg this game made us cry at the end with the bonus level the games are so good and so detailed we love how all the games have a connection. Great work :).
Ive been playing the rusty lake series ever since we found them every puzzle is a new odd twist and is often very well thought out. This game in particular was quite touching and had a great story line but was kind of depressing to be honest. So many crazy emotions and crazy ideas harmonized to create this game we cant even begin to think of how long this took to make. Thank you developers at rusty lake for this awesome game and amazing introduction to the games you create. Lastly we hope to see more games come out as Ive finished almost if not every game by this group of developers and we're looking for more so Id love to try and play some new ones when they release. Hope this helped some people and once again thank you rusty lake for this thrilling creepy fun game.
