A really good, but dark point and click game split into smaller parts that all connect together. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (9.0-4).
This Lake has some Rusty Roots, and I sense some Cubes trying to Escape...,. Rusty Lake Roots take place after Cube Escape: Theatre and before Cube Escape: The Cave, I don't know why, but it does. A very nice point and click puzzle game where you go through the years following a family tree, some of the puzzles are abhorrent and there was at least one I had absolutely zero idea of what to do even after looking at a walkthrough but overall a very good experience, about 3.5 hours of gameplay!!
Facilmente o melhor cube escape que eu já joguei até agora Ele cria um novo enredo muito maluco mas que se conecta muito bem com a história principal. Os personagens aqui são bem mais marcantes do que em outros jogos anteriores, isso eleva o terror da franquia pra um nível superior. Tem umas cenas que realmente não tem como não ficar horrorizado.
我服了四个小时隐藏关都全过了告诉我成就没打满TwT,破锈湖 好玩还是非常好玩的,解密类的神 剧情非常赞,就是实在太难了。。。只能看教程过。 玩绣湖打成就不搜教程的我是非常佩服的
Im literally Albert Vanderboom. Best of the rusty lake games!!
烧脑
eğer o çocuklar o gün bahçede olmasaydı bir sülalenin ömrü değişirdi
个人感觉是整个系列里面最烧脑的一部,体量也很大
Of the Rusty Lake games, this one is my absolute favorite. I like the length of this game compared to the others, which gets lost as you're playing through different stories of different members of the Vanderboom family. Watching Albert's strange story unfold is always great, but my favorite sequence has to be Leonard's war flashback sequence.
A very good game. It isn't only a great puzzle game, it has some good lore. Might be my favourite Rustly Lake game.
