Rusty Lake: Roots

A frustration and then exhilaration at solving brain-burning puzzles. And an increased appreciation, love, and fear of Rusty Lake and its shadowy, timeless inhabitants. Roots just happens to have all of this in an even larger, longer package; with more lives on the line; and more reasons to book your stay.

Rusty Lake: Roots features beautiful, old-timey hand-drawn visuals updated with a fresh, modern look, making for a visually appealing game. Overall gameplay elements make for a solid point-and-click adventure game that’s not too difficult to get into. Add great sound, and you’ve got almost a perfect game. Some of the puzzles included in the game feel too frustrating, others too easy, making Roots feel unbalanced overall. This game isn’t made for those who don’t like bloody, dark humor.
