The egg and scales were whack. I forced my way through the clock for night/morning cus I was totally lost after days. The owl was brutal for someone directionally challenged, especially since its not super clear? The directions to move the owl are, but one would think Left means Move Left, not Move Right Until Left Happens. The rest were fun challenges that made me feel smart and took some thinking, but not too drastic. I liked going between rooms for certain puzzles / items!

As always, Rusty Lake delivers a gripping experience with this game. Great hidden items and codes to crack! Only bug for me was that I managed to drag two sheets of paper in the third drawer during the egg sequence underneath the book. At that point, I could not recover the clues and had to reset the game. Didn't take long, but it would have been nice for the sheets to have limited movement!

Quite an interesting up until my game glitched a key item from my game and I could not continue. I expected more in this game, the levels feel quick and devoid at times. But the visuals and twists of the game made it worth it. Sometimes it makes you think, sometimes it's just far too "on the nose". It's worth a shot, but keep in mind you may experience some glitches like I did that will stop you from progressing at all.

This game is beautifully made. The art work is wonderful as well as the atmosphere. I was hesitant at first thinking it was a horror game but it isn't. It is creepy, reminds me of Tim Burton. The puzzles were great. Yes difficult, but not so difficult that you'd have to look it up or rage quit. With every puzzle I finished I wanted more. The story, although a little strange, kept me intrigued and wanting more! If you enjoy puzzles and creepiness then this game is for you!

A very entertaining game that works your brain, but no so hard it feels impossible to solve. I enjoyed the somewhat creepy vibe of the game and the fact I had to solve some things in ways I didn't even think of. My only problem is the hints could be really terrible. SPOILER ALERT: Also, I had to look up the point of the weights in the bird room; personally that confused me. Overall, still a really fun game.

If you're good at puzzle games this might just be an hour or two to the end. I was whizzing through it until i missed one tiny thing and then i was stuck to the point of frustration and ended up looking up a walkthrough to figure out where i went wrong. Overall it was a very surreal game with soothing background music and an interesting "plot".

Great installment to the Rusty Lake series. If you're not familiar with these escape room games, know that some of the experience may be unsettling. But puzzle-wise, some points had me scratching my head, but I was ultimately able to figure it out without having to watch a walkthrough (which is often the case on puzzle games that like to be too vague).

I love this ethereal, almost meditative, game. There are a few frustrating parts, tho. The scrolling isn't clean enough. There are a few times when the found object (marble for instance) doesn't appear when it's rewarded. Towards the end of the game, if you don't know to pull the sunflower forward to get the seed, you will have to start the game all over again to try again, instead of just resetting the scene. Otherwise, you can go no further.

That was awesome! Some of the hints did absolutely nothing though for help, I had expected that from reading other reviews. The atmosphere was offputting in such an enchanting way; the calm relaxing music, the cutesy wallpaper and art style, but then the creepy as hell undertones and certain objects. Very well done. Would give 5/5, but it was very difficult, and some puzzles were almost impossible to figure out, and others didn't work very well as a mobile app.

Like a real escape room! I have done 3 in person escape rooms and have gotten out of the last 2. The very last one i did was a success rate of only 35% and we had the bare minimum of people to solve it, we got out! I want to do another one, but with covid, it isn't the best environment. This game was a great substitute. Beat it within an hour of playing and it really had me thinking and using my observation skills! Would recommend!

Very fun and interesting experience from start to finish. Challenging but not impossible what so ever. My only complaint is that it ended. It felt short but maybe bc I played through it so fast. Incredible!! Loved the art style and creative concepts. The puzzles were rewarding and fun. Really makes you think, often abstractly. Great game for anyone who enjoys puzzles or escape games or just using your brain 🧠 thank you developer for a great game, I'm on to try your other ones! I need more 😩

This game was fantastic. Took me about an hour to complete. Had just the right amount of difficulty with the puzzles. Nothing that'd make you tear your hair out in frustration, scouring the internet for guides. But also not too easy that it didn't feel worth my time. I've played plenty of these escape room type games but this has to be my favorite, from the bizarre room transitions, to the strange and captivating art style. 10/10 definitely recommend.

Music was soothingly nice to listen to. The puzzles were challenging enough for me, so there was no frustration. Sadly, I couldn't figure out the scale puzzle, which I believe gave the answer as to which time was night time. I accidentally brute-forced the answer in the game which makes me a cheater. I think the clock events should activate only after the player obtains the time(s) required from solving the puzzles. Regardless, I had fun. Thank you!

It is a unique game. The music is soothing and pleasant. The gameplay is interesting, the graphics are simple but it makes it great. I never was able to finish the game because you have to have a clever mind to finish all the hidden tasks. I thank god for the walkthrough, but I realized I was too stupid to finish it on my own so I quitted. However, if you're someone for puzzles, this game is absolutely elegant and amazing for that matter.

Had to use my brain quite a bit. I had to reset the game once cause there was a puzzle that requires clues from previous rooms but there was no way to go back. The puzzle with the three eggs was definitely confusing, didn't quite understand the logic behind it. Overall, amazing game, amazing soundtrack. Made me feel.... calm and ethereal. EDIT: I was aware of how to switch rooms but- (SPOILER) - the puzzle where it asks for the clues in the mirror. I didn't have the items to return to the room.

I like the game so far. I have 1 issue though, when trying to obtain the feather from the owl on top of the clock, is there a specific way to turn the owls head? I did the combination of right, straight, left, straight, backwards like the 2 sheets of paper said, but it doesn't give me the feather, edited to add I've already used the hint system as suggested, the head locks up when you try to turn it to the left.

The game goes by WAY too fast & isn't very challenging; however, I did still enjoy it. I'm not a fan of having to cheat to get to the secret ending, but I had no choice seeing as the only way to get to the secret rooms was to have followed the game's social media pages at launch to get the necessary hints to put in the right "code" in the same challenge where you get the egg. A whole star off for making 2 achievement goals impossible without cheating years after the release. Very short-sighted.
