Rusty Lake Hotel

« Still, for the game’s low $1.99 price on Steam, it’s almost certainly worth a look if you’re tired of the same old thing and interested in a truly challenging, if a bit slow-starting, puzzler that requires real problem solving skills. »

« Rusty Lake Hotel is an ultra short, but difficult puzzle game, in which you have to kill hotel guests in the most macabre ways. Every room is full of riddles that will eventually get you to the answer how to perfectly murder your guest. The simple point and click system is great and the puzzles are very well thought through: absurdly excellent! »

« It's a perfect mobile game, much less enjoyable on big screens. Structured in riddles, the touch-and-go gameplay experience feels diminished from a more constant approach. »

« As the first commercial installment in on ongoing series, Rusty Lake Hotel comes with both story and gameplay reservations for newcomers, and only escape-the-room fans should bother checking it out. »

« Rusty Lake Hotel is a twisted gem that pulled me into its creepy world. Playing on my phone during a rainy weekend, this point-and-click adventure mixed puzzles, dark humor, and bizarre storytelling. It’s a standout for puzzle and weird-game **** run a creepy hotel in 1893, hosting five animal guests—Mr. Deer, Mr. Rabbit, Ms. Pheasant, Mr. Boar, and Mr. Pigeon. Your task is to serve fancy dinners, but the grim catch hooked me. The game ties into Rusty Lake’s lore, hinting at the Vanderboom family and the lake’s mysteries, though it stands alone fine. I was gripped from the **** art’s hand-drawn, with muted greens, flickering candles, and creepy details like bloodstains. Mr. Deer’s antler-filled room is a favorite, though Ms. Pheasant’s floral vibe has charm. Victor Butzelaar’s music, with soft piano and creaky effects, made me pause when my floorboards squeaked. Headphones were immersive but spooky—10/10 for atmosphere, 0/10 for my nerves.Puzzles shine, with each guest’s chapter offering point-and-click challenges to “prepare” their dinner. Some are simple, like mixing ingredients, while others, like Mr. Rabbit’s telescope, are cleverly bizarre. Mr. Boar’s plant puzzle felt vague, leaving me stuck. Touch controls are solid but clunky for tiny objects; a stylus helps. The five chapters plus epilogue took 2.5 hours, stretched to 3 for stars. Replay value comes from secret endings and memory cubes.Some puzzles rely on trial-and-error, which frustrates, and the story’s light compared to Roots. Controls could be smoother—I misclicked often. Still, Rusty Lake Hotel gets an 8.5/10. It’s not as mind-bending as Paradox but bursts with creepy charm. If you love escape rooms or dark humor, download it. Don’t play while eating. »

« a more confined acid trip taking place in a hotel. u gotta kill all the people without them knowing idk i was too busy looked at crow's big juicy beak. »

« This title in the Rusty Lake game series was quite interesting, but I was a bit put off by the overarching dark, murderous theme. The difficulty and pacing are just right, although I would've preferred a bit more of a hint regarding one particular hidden item that most people would easily miss. Overall, I was content with my experience of the game, especially since I got it on sale. »

« Rusty Lake Hotel is primarily puzzle/point and click type game. I'm not usually into this genre, but the surreal loop that happens within the game is both captivating and utterly disturbing. The tasty game-play loop enthralled my taste buds but shocked my mind. You must creatively provide the dinner service from/to the guests of the hotel. While the graphics aren't world class, they express the ideas and the game fine enough. The puzzles can sometimes be a bit frustrating, but are mostly fun. If you are into point and click games, a morbid premise, and some tough puzzles, maybe this game would be worth a try! »

« A short but nice point'n click which more or less consists in a series of independent escape rooms. What is particularly interesting in Rusty Lake Hotel is its atmosphere, quite dark and cynical at times. A couple of creepy details made a chill run down my spine, although the the graphical style and animations remain very basic. The difficulty of the puzzles is well calibrated, even though some can be a bit frustrating since you seem to be doing everything right but the situation stays stuck. Otherwise it was a very nice moment. It is to be noted that many of the players, including me, could not unlock any achievement. I have not looked at it in more details, but it could be correlated to the recent giveaway. »

« A magnificent and mysterious game created in the best traditions of David Lynch and the Twin Peaks series. 10/10 »

« I'm not that fond of Point & Click games, but this game gave me a different feeling, the objective already demarcated in the first minutes of the game along with the sound work really pulled me. Each puzzle together with that desire to complete everything make the game a delicious mix of morbidity and puzzle a great game. I loved. »
