Love the series! This is an amazing addition. Gameplay is different with the split screen, control is smooth. The puzzles to me were easy, but finding the stars is proving a challenge. What makes this great is the flow of the story told through the gameplay& art and the vibe it evokes. Don't think you need to have played the previous games to enjoy, it can stand alone. But do! Cause they're wonderfully creepy&bizar but somehow still intuitive, with challenging puzzles & an overarching mythology.

I purchased and played every Rusty Lake game there is, and this one was entertaining and creative. The puzzles, albeit challenging, are much easier than previous games. Graphics are the usual minimalist style, and audio is okay but not innovative. Story is vague and not complex. Game lacks the anticipated creepiness Rusty Lake is famous for and is their real differentiator in a very competitive gaming market. Please go back to your old lovable creepy style which why we buy your games.

Can never get enough of Rusty Lake! The game is in a brand new setting, but also expands on the previous games and the lore. Although this game lacks the intriguing rusty lake location, more elaborate puzzles, and scares, as compared to its predecessors, this is compensated by a more layered, psychological mystery, with new mechanics that, albeit more linear, offer a fresh spin on the escape genre, favoring local puzzles instead of item gathering/usage.
