I have enjoyed every single release by Rusty Lake and always look forward to the next one!
- bostonbasso · v1.8
The rustiest adventure yet! I was so glad to discover a new offering by this unconventional clowder of creative cats. I've always loved Rusty Lake games... even the ones that led me to require counseling. "More More MORE!", I clamored.
- Fred Jepson · v1.6.3
Apex Rusty Lake game. I didn't want it to end.
- erika pipe · v1.6.3

always so good
- Jim Calkins · v1.6.3
Yet another great addition to the Rusty Lake series! Got to hang out with the Vanderboom siblings again and uncovered some good origin secrets regarding that trio. Of course my only complaint is that it was too short, but of course that’s how I feel about all of their games because I love them so much! Guess I’ll just have to replay the other titles until we get our next installment. 🩷
- FunkyBoogy · v1.8
Another masterpiece!! Every one of the Rusty Lake/ Cube games is excellent... Great puzzles which area mixture of difficulties and a walkthrough if you get really stuck.. These games really are something special though.. So atmospheric, the devs are absolute genius at the sinister and creepy.. Completely weird and wonderful!! I LOVE them and this one is as awesome as the rest!!!..., 😁😁🖤❤️🔥

- Lilian Nogueira · v1.6.3
only play this game
- Alison Cairns · v1.6.3
Excellent experience! I've been playing Rusty Lake games forever, and this one is just as good as ever. The characters were fun and the puzzles were just the right amount of challenging without having to look up solutions like in some point and click puzzle games. The music and art were fabulous, and it was just the right amount of creepy!
- Neil Zinger · v1.6.3
As always, another great adventure by Rusty Lake. They never fail to encapture me in their tails.
- Damien Swanson · v1.6.3
👍
- Victoria Farley · v1.6.3
Cannot wait for more! Thank you Rusty Lake crew! This is the height of the art. Truly. The storyline is so compelling, the art is so minimalistically perfect, the tone and the vibe is just so consistent and coherent. Thanks for the mushroom trip chapter too! Really brought me there!
- Zshmak · v1.8
Hands down the best game series ever made for mobile.
- Michael Campbell · v1.6.3
ssssssoooo good. definitely hard to complete all the secret tasks

loved it, I loved the addition of the notebook
- J Mag · v1.6.3
was excited for this one since playing the demo. 10 out of 10
- Roy Rojas · v1.6.3
This is my first game from Rusty Lake and I can't wait to play other games for more lore! The story is a bit confusing at first but it's genuinely what intrigued me. Everything seems out of place but it's that point where you need to merge logic and fiction to complete the puzzle. Really captivating. Also love the style. Reminds me of games I used to play on net back those days. Very nostalgic!
- Erika Summer
Once in a great spell, a prequel is actually good.
- Steve Groven · v1.6.3

Wow... I would like if you keep the old decorations of the house... By the way I like it

Once again an amazing puzzle journey! My partner and I have played all of Rusty Lake's games, with the first one being years ago. We immediately fell in love with Rusty Lake's approach to game design. This is yet another great addition to an already great catalogue of mobile games. We will always be coming back for more and are big fans of all of the games!
- Maxime · v1.6.3
Encore une fois, une excellent jeux et une nouvelle addition à ce lore si attirant et énigmatique.

Another banger from Rusty Lake. Varied puzzles, wonderful art, and an amazing, creepy story. Wonderful!
- Joseph Hooper · v1.6.3
An absolute gem, needed the walking through a few times but it's amazing. I need more games!
- L Cordón · v1.6.3
masterful, easily my favorite studio. i have a terrible memory and have enjoyed a lot of different works along similar puzzle genres, but this is the only outfit i can pull out of my brain when recommending anything. and i recommend it a lot! i wish i could get push notifications in google play for new releases
- tazer army · v1.6.3

- Nichelle · v1.6.3
I can't change language in version 1.6. I found the latest vesion was 1.8,but the version I downloaded just was 1.6
- Leffy.Y · v1.8
I love the Rusty Lake games. I was so excited when a new one came out. The only puzzle that was a little hard to figure out was the Elixir code. But other than that the puzzles were just challenging enough to make me have to think a bit. So much fun!
- Klb6899 · v1.8
brilliant! just brilliant as always!
- Emanuele Di Iorio · v1.6.3
absolute cinema

- #的¥5// · v1.8
Awesome game. Always interesting characters and storylines. Already anticipating the next Rusty Lake creation.
- Dan and Shannon E · v1.6.3
I’m honestly such a fan of rusty lake games. I can’t even count how many times I’ve recommended. However, this was my last purchase. I’ve bought every game and enjoyed them. This one felt very different to me. The puzzles (ESPECIALLY THE HARP) are impossible to navigate on a phone screen. This game felt like the last bit of whimsy being sucked from my world. I awaited this and felt too frustrated to even want to finish. DNF rating
- Afantho · v1.8
as per all rusty lake games great atmosphere, story line and puzzles! keep them coming!
- Nicolas Blondin · v1.6.3
Rusty Lake series always produces bangers. This is no exception.
- Leonie L · v1.6.3
another great game
- antony butchart · v1.6.3
I’ve never felt so delighted by a game on every level. Scary, moving, brilliantly-scored and sound-designed, and the gameplay itself is stellar! Puzzles are just difficult enough and woven beautifully into the story.
- Marjonaut · v1.8
I buy all the Rusty Lake and Cube games. Just creepy enough and expands on the characters in the universe.
- Shadowluminaire · v1.8
I’ve played every single one of the Rusty Lake series to include all the cube escape rooms. While this game was fantastic, and fun to play, I feel like the developers took a slight step backwards. Some of the puzzles were a little illogical. Some of the puzzles were a little more far-fetched than normal. This game lacked a little of the wow factor that the rest of the series has. If more games come out I will continue to buy them. This is mainly constructive feedback.
- Viper-Gator · v1.8
Really liked this one. Love the original games, then not so much the others. But, seems like a more classic rusty lake game. Good job!
- climberofrocks · v1.8
lore lore lore LORE
- omfgjsendthereview · v1.8
You guys have done it again. Just love the characters and the gameplay.
- Waltman51 · v1.8
I started playing Rusty Lake went first came out about 10 years ago and I haven't been disappointed yet. Every single game has been an absolute delight. So much attention to detail, so many talented artists! ☺️🇺🇸
- Zookeeper67 · v1.8
I’ve played them all multiple times over the years and this one was my favorite! It had an awesome story and fun puzzles! This one was so intense! I loved it so much!! Thank you Rusty Lake!
- Creatingwithkristin · v1.8
原来我是Harvey啊哈哈哈哈哈哈
- janelana · v1.8
Fantastic design, puzzles, story, music, mood. My favorite one so far.
- Super Mouse1234567890 · v1.8
Best game from Rusty Lake. The whole backstory finally playing out is incredible, the gameplay is fun and has a unique spin. Very excited to see where the story goes next and when the next game will come out. Great characters too. Captivating game. Fun. Wish there was more.
- Vault 466 · v1.8
本来女朋友吵着要分手结果听说我在现湖之仆从,现在非要跟我复合。
- Kate heave · v1.8
I've played these games for forever now and i just can't get enough of them.
- jessicaahr · v1.8
It was fun and got the classics rusty lake feeling. Some more challenging puzzles which I enjoy. Great game. I know it just came out but now I can’t wait for the next to come out.
- Cici Marieski · v1.8
Just got into the Rusty Lake saga. This is a great starter game, and you will get hooked! Thankfully the devs have a huge catalog that goes into a lot of lore! I loved playing Roots right after this one.
- Chrissymarie909 · v1.8
I loved this game ,great puzzles and atmosphere
- mother night · v1.8
Rusty Lake, you guys really made a classic! All of your previous titles are great as well, but this one will last the ages! Cant wait to see what youre cooking up for the next time.Thanx again!
- bnard525 · v1.8
I have sucked up every single game this developer has made as soon as it has become available. Unfortunately, this eagerly-awaited game missed the mark when it comes to what they are known for … and that is dark complexity. I’m not quite sure how they got this far off their genre but it’s a shame. Hopefully they can make their way back to their roots …
- Schocher1 · v1.8
Sooooo super cool and interesting! Definitely pretty tricky at times but it serves as a fun challenge! There’s a lot of lore to go through and it’s all the more fun to try to piece it all together! The Rusty Lake games are by far my favorite, especially puzzle-solving wise. I don’t typically write reviews for anything but I HAVE to recommend this game to anyone even slightly interested. Totally worth it!
- Edona the Monsta · v1.8
I’ve never written a review before but, Rusty Lake has managed to put out yet another amazing game. Studios like them give me hope in a time where AAA Developers can’t even create an original game/idea anymore.
- Glitchseeker · v1.8
I’ve played all the rusty lake games and loved them. I find this one is a little boring and the puzzles aren’t very challenging and are more tedious than anything else. Like what is up with checking the hallways over and over for something strange? Lame. There is too much slow dialogue and you can’t click to skip or speed up. Sorry guys not a fan at all this time around. I usually can’t stop playing but this time I play maybe 5 minutes every third day. It’s seriously that bad. I should just quit altogether but I paid for it so maybe next month I’ll finish it. Their free anniversary game was so much better than this.
- SliQchik · v1.8
So well designed. Can’t wait for more Rusty Lake!
- CookiePusher · v1.8
I’ve never left a review on a game before… but this game was so perfect from start to finish I wish I could erase my memory of playing it so I could start it over.
- sethtnelson · v1.8
Love this game and love all of the Rusty Lake games. They are beautiful and relaxing and challenging all in one.
- mrsfeit · v1.8
Please don’t have us wait for too long for the next one!!!!! These games are tooo good.
- JINJIAa · v1.8
Highly recommend everyone to play this game, especially the whole series. If you are into mystery, surrealism, and solving puzzles, this game is for you. To understand the story of the game a deeper level, check out the other games to add more pieces to the puzzle of Rusty Lake 100/100 Can’t wait for more!
- Canterellare · v1.8
Didn’t want it to end. 👍👍👍👍👍
- Bobgm · v1.8
Absolutely loved this game - as I love all of Rusty Lake games. Please do another one soon!!
- Sir Mongie · v1.8
I have been playing Rusty Lake games for years and they never disappoint. Great brain teasers and not so obscurely difficult like others. The clues are all there! In fact they are the only games that I will spend money on. Keep them coming please!
- TheRealBeezle · v1.8
I am a big fan of the Rusty Lake franchise and especially fell in love with the lore behind the Vanderboom family. This one was pure cinema. The puzzles were creative and just enough difficulty to where it didn’t frustrate me. Towards the end of the game I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! It really separated itself from other Rusty Lake games and added on to the already established lore. Please come out with another game or games soon! This game is so amazing and definitely one of my favorites!
- Lycheee13 · v1.8
After playing almost all the games of the rusty lake series, this has to be the best story out of all the games. A must play! Music is great too.
- 4Djibouti · v1.8
The whole series is fantastic. A sensational lore and aesthetic.
- Fropslack · v1.7
每次玩rustylake系列都有种短暂忘掉现实的平静感,这部原来是Harvey的起源故事🥹🥹🥹等不及玩下一部了啊啊
- zen n · v1.7
They never disappoint. And it’s fairly long for a puzzle game, 3-5 hours depending if you’re going for 100%.
- Yuri avaliando jogo · v1.7
Delightful twisted, chaotic and cruel in the best way!!!
- I need to do what? · v1.7
10/10 would play again!
- JesLo16 · v1.7
Это мой первый отзыв в AppStore, но я тем самым хочу высказать огромное уважение команде Rusty Lake. Все ваши игры супер, я так рада, что когда-то вас нашла и каждый раз искренне радуюсь каждому вашему проекту.

- Susuya09 · v1.7
Good as always.
- Jian Cui · v1.6.2
excellent, it was quite a different post coaster of emotions
- Alexandre Laquerre · v1.6.2
Absolutely love this, a great follow-up with the VAs, the graphics, the puzzles. Thank you for continuing this series and the story. Only issue I had in this game was the 'click' area for the acid to cup. Now to get the rest of the achievements. :D
- Layla Michael
Another brilliant game worth the money
- Jodie Watkin
great game as usual from the team!
- Sumaya Rimi · v1.6.2
This has become one of my favorites in the series. I have been a big fan of rusty lake for some time now. And I think every game is great, but I think this might be my favorite story and game play in the series. Can’t wait to see what yall make next
- Jas1227 · v1.7
In my top 5 of best games played.
- Albert Hernandez · v1.6.2
life changing

Its a very fun game. 🎮

- Thanh Tu
I just am so glad for this franchise to exist, in a world where phone games have become placid and libraries rusty lake still remains a paragon of true fun and commitment to mobile games
- Proinsias Donnelly · v1.6.2
Another great game by Rusty Lake. Well worth the wait!
- Joana Costeira · v1.6.2
Always love the Rusty Lake series.
- IProvide ThePaint · v1.6.2
Overall great, albeit a little easy
- Dan Silver · v1.6.2
This lore is getting deep
- Khenn Verdida (IkasuKen)
EVEN MY PARENTS SUPPORT ME BUYING RUSTY LAKE GAMES SO YOU ALL SHOULD PLAY IT TOO!!
- Jia Le Tan · v1.6.2
No game exit button. No save button. Game keeps starting from the beginning. Just a horrible design. Complete waste of money!
- Mike EP · v1.6.2
I usually enjoy these, but find this one to be a boring and honestly didn't bother to finish. others seem to really enjoy it though.
- Bethany H · v1.6.2
This is an amazing game. Worth every sen.
- Felonia Melva Francis · v1.6.2
Loved the challenges and updated graphics in this latest installment. This was absolutely fantastic to play and I’m already looking forward to the next! Bring on the weirdness! The past is never dead!

阴间程度很锈湖,也是第一期有明火对决的

have played and loved every rusty lake game! can't wait for more
- kadenza · v1.6.2
Another success from Rusty Lake. Some puzzles are challenging which I like, and I always enjoy their game aesthetic.
- Sarah H. · v1.6.2
I’m obsessed with these. The storytelling is impeccable and puzzles are engaging and drive the plot. You can play this one without knowing the deep lore, but it’s much more fun to have played the other ones first!
- Zozbe · v1.7
the story, the game mechanics, the puzzles… worth every penny and more. can’t wait to see what comes next!!
- japes assured · v1.7
Wonderful wonderful wonderful! I've played all lake games, and this is one of the best. It's the most well made, with great puzzles! The sound and story were amazing. 5/5 no doubt!
- alon276 · v1.6.2
Thank you for another masterpiece!!! Looking forward for the next chapter!
- Stas Romanov · v1.6.2
I'm a big fan of the rusty lake games, but this one can only be described as tedious. There also wasn't anything very interesting about any of the story and some of the puzzles were just annoying. This game was a swing and a miss.
- Trevor Porter · v1.6.2
another great installment. can't wait for Roots
- Malcolm Hollins · v1.6.2
Another Rusty Lake gem. I am hooked up on the story, the puzzles, the achievements. It requires a lot of thinking, a lot of time, but every moment is amazing. Puzzles are not impossible, I just run out of patience haha. I do not recommend watching a walkthrough but to come back to the place where you get stuck and try from a different angle. it is so much rewarding when you do it by yourself. I cannot wait to finish this game and go back to the previous ones. Haha I already miss them.
- D e S · v1.6.2
Very atmospheric game with an eerie and creepy undertone. Good art as always and puzzles are not too hard but a good challenge.
- Jommy Davi · v1.6.2
Great as always! You can really see how the games have only been getting better. I felt like the puzzles in this game fit in so naturally, they don't feel like a "forced" obstacle, and everything fits well with the storyline as well! The alchemy part was definitely my favorite :D
- Sophia K · v1.6.2
loved it big fan of rusty lake games played every single one of them , really pretty scenery , linked into the overlying story there additional pencil and journal was particularly well thought as it was useful for some of the puzzles really enjoyable with it was longer :)
- Dion C · v1.6.2
My favorite quest series, finished them all. Keep it up!
- Leonid · v1.6.2
amazing as usual
- Colleen Clement · v1.6.2
I always enjoy a rusty lake game. A bit sinister, with good puzzles
- shelly hancock · v1.6.2
Always a surreal and unsettling pleasure. This makes me want to replay earlier iterations to make them more scrutible. Well worth the small price for an enjoyable and unique puzzle game.
- C May · v1.6.2
it's really impressive this game is made by a such a small team. well done. always loved the art style and the audio. puzzles were fun and innovative. liked the story too. the horror element I thought could turn up a notch.
- Jane Liu (SM) · v1.6.2
RUSTY LAKE DOES IT AGAIN to the developers thank you so much
- jamison Sigs · v1.6.2
Another amazing Rusty Lake game! One you can definitely come back to again and again
- Jumari Ferreira · v1.6.2
The best series of games out there, I am always ready and looking forward to play rusty lake's next title.
- Άρης · v1.6.2
another fantastic game by Rusty Lake. They manage to continue making creative, sometimes macabre puzzles while building a story that hooks you.
- Oleg Yazvin · v1.6.2
absolutely fantastic. this was well worth the lo g wait. bravo!
- Ingrid McCready · v1.6.2
Another amazing game from the rusty lake team.
- Mario Scellini · v1.6.2
Love Rusty Lake. Servant of the Lake was good, but felt too short. I loved the sibling rivalry. They had me constantly on my toes.
- Abbie Lindahl · v1.6.2
Pre-registered always for Rusty Lake games, and this one was great. It was definitely more story related (though all are & great game play and puzzles which some had me stumped). I loved the new added feature of the notebook so much that I'd like to see it added to all of your future games. I loved loved the ending, starts those brain cells rolling and makes me want to play every game again of which I have played multiple times while waiting for a new release. Thankyou Rusty Lake.
- Me · v1.6.2
I just love the Rusty Lake series and how each game is connected in story wise 🐦⬛🐇🐟. I enjoyed the puzzles 💖 💖💖
- Natalie Long · v1.6.2
Got into Rusty Lake with the Cube Escape collection, and damn I'll say this entire universe is coming along wonderfully!
- Ethan Gregory · v1.6.2
Please readjust screen size. I use the Galaxy Fold Z and the diary commands are off my screen regardless of how I use the app (full screen or window). I can't currently play the game because the X to close the diary is off my screen. I love Rusty Lake and look forward to giving the game 5 stars once I can play it.
- Cannoneer C · v1.6.2
I really enjoyed this game just like all of the other rusty lake games. But I must say the atmosphere was very different in this one. It wasn't nearly as creepy since there was so much talking and everything was explained to you. I prefer the more silent and sinister vibe. Still, it was a good game and I enjoyed getting a little bit more of the back story of rusty lake.
- Eva Jackson · v1.6.2
An amazing addition to the lore!
- Geniz Hernandez · v1.6.2
This was an interesting take on a puzzle game and I liked the story too, overall a really good game.
- Angela Miller · v1.6.2
very enjoyable
- Mouse Caffell · v1.6.2
another brilliant game from rusty lake, really enjoyed this one
