I was on a hunt through the App Store for a puzzle-based escape room for about a month. Of the 10-12 different developers I’ve tried, not a single one can hold a candle to the genius of Rusty Lake. The originality alone would put it on the top spot, but the great puzzles, artwork that is both sophisticated and simple, and the plot that is clear enough to understand it, but still is confusing enough for personal aha moments make it shoot past the competition. Even the details are perfect: the anonymity of the animal-headed people , the recurring images of fish, Laura, clocks, Harvey, cubes, etc., and the simply inspired use of famous paintings. I loved seeing the pieces of the puzzle fall into place as I uncovered the story. Another great part about this game is that if I wait a while, I can replay all the puzzles, and I usually make a new realization every time! I can tell how much the developers care about telling the story instead of making money on cheap content, unlike the ad-loaded, mindless games I used to play. I have played nearly every game in the series already, including the premium ones, and I can’t wait to see what happens next at Rusty Lake! Also, thank you so much.
