I played one game, and almost immediately downloaded all of the Rusty Lake Games. They're fun, mildly challenging, and have an awesome combination of horror and mystery. I keep checking back every couple of weeks in hopes to find more! Excellent gameplay, and perfectly do-able puzzles! Thanks so much for these games and I hope to play more!

I am obsessed with the Cube/Rusty Lake games but I believe I hit a glitch at Plague 10. I've reset it multiple times and even followed the walk through to see if I was missing a step. The drum puzzle when first started will not show the black stamp of the statues. I did the correct order of the drum per the walk through and the bone will not fall from the string. I'm about to give up because I've done all other puzzles allowed up until this point and it seems I'm stuck. Such a shame.

Absolutely amazing!! I've played every single Rusty Lake and Cube Escape games from this developer. The puzzles are challenging (I had to look up a walk through a few times, but that's just me) but it's well worth it for the story and world this team has built with these games. My only real complaint is that I finished them all, so now I have to wait for more. ;)

This is my #2 favorite Rusty Lake game (#1 is Roots). The story is well written and presented. You again get to know this creepy family and their history. My biggest complaint is how much you have to go back and forth through the winding pathways. It's a lot of clicking that takes away from the game play. If the layout were different, it'd easily be 5 stars.

Graphics are artful and intriguing. Story can be a bit confusing at times, but the mystery is worth it. Gameplay is fun, demanding and rewarding. Music and SFX are appropriate, but at times annoying. (Both are opt-out.) Kudos to RL for creating a world. You may grow weary of it, or enveloped in it. Beware.

I've purchased all of the rusty lake games on steam, I've loved them all. Great puzzles, challenging, creepy and unusual. I played them from start to finish all at once. Roots and the cube collection are my favorites but I enjoyed hotel as well. This game however severely lacks, easily the weakest due to repetition. One annoying and boring puzzle you have to complete 5 times on EVERY SINGLE PLAGUE. Plague 9 was the worst 😫. But still a huge fan of the developers, just not this game

Been a fan of this series of games for a while now. It took me a long time, but I finally finished Rusty Lake Paradise! Its honestly a great game with a good story (which is full of mystery) and challenging puzzles. I greatly enjoyed the art style of the game as well as the creepy tone throughout. If your not sure this game would be your cup of tea, I recommend playing some of the other (free) Rusty Lake Games so that yoy can get a sample of the challenges and puzzles this game presents.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit, but it did touch a little too much on my squick factors with some stuff (the outhouse, for instance). I'm used to there being a degree of that in these games, but it felt a little excessive in this one. Other than that, it was an interesting way to tell the story and left me wanting to continue to the next chapter after I completed each one!

Not much to add to what others have said - all games by RL are awesome. Just adding my vote for hints: the walkthrough is great but it gives the solution, whereas I would appreciate the opportunity to figure it out myself. I recall one RL free game where you had the option to watch an add to get a hint (not a solution!) - I wish this we're added to the paid versions as well. Keep up the great work, RL team!

I love all these Rusty Lake games. But I implore the developers to please hire some actual voice talent to do the voice overs and character lines. It's so obvious that it's some programmer doing ALL the voices, male and female, badly, sounding a little like Brad Pitt's notoriously awful accent(s) in that old vampire movie. It really spoils the magical atmosphere of the game that the graphic artists, musicians and designers have worked so hard to achieve.

I ended up binging all the Rusty Lake games. If them all, this is my least favorite, but it's still really good. What I didn't like was how spread out it was. For most Rusty Lake games, the puzzles are compressed into a single space, like a room. But this has a whole map to move through, and the puzzles require a lot of back and forth. Other than that, I liked it. The puzzles varied from easy to difficult and added yet another layer to the Rusty Lake lore.

worth all 300 pennies. After playing through the Cube Escape games I had to continue the journey and oh my God was it worth it. some of the puzzles were a bit of a drag due to the distance between the clue and the puzzle but that can be solved by drawing it out on a piece of paper which gives that good old puzzle game vibe to it sometimes but other times it got a little bit annoying. Regardless however, this is a phenomenal story that adds to the game franchise as a whole. Wait to play the next!

I can't express how great these games are, I love the music, the art style, the atmosphere, the story line, the game play. This is a must play as well as all the other Rusty lake games. I know some people are complaining about the walking and moving around room to room, but that's just their personal preference. I myself do prefer worldbbuilding and moving to different areas. You have a little bit of free will despite being trapped on the island with your crazy ass family.

Previous Rusty Lake games have been fantastic. Not sure if there is a bad interaction with my phone, but the control on this one is terrible. Cannot get easy obvious things to trigger, even in the intro. It seems like they increased the specificity of the trigger significantly, which is making it much more difficult to progress. I tried for a while, but I give up. It took about 15 tries to get the latches on the first box in the boat to open. Would appreciate a refund.

It's a great atmosphere, a decent narrative, and the good twisted content I've come to expect from this group, but the only hint system is a non-timestamped walkthrough you have to spend your time poring through, facing ads even if you paid for the game. And sometimes, the answers are too random or counterintuitive to guess, or just too hard to see on a phone, so you can't avoid it.

I downloaded a random cube escape game when searching for a "point and click" game, and instantly fell in love with the series. As someone who went to school for creative writing and art, I love the weird story and the art style. Playing through the series has helped my anxiety at night when I can't sleep. Now I've played all the free and premium ones (and I NEVER purchase games or take the time to review apps). Can't wait to see what you come out with next!

Cube Escapes were weird, but fun. This was absolutely bizarre and not fun. Many of the puzzles didn't feel "natural." (Sorry. That's the best way I can describe them.) Pointing, dragging, and tapping through either completely useless areas or areas I'd been through before was incredibly tedious. The replay value is just non-existent. Rusty Lake needs to get back to doing what they did best.
