### 4/5 — Really enjoyed

*2026-06-01, version 1.4*

I have loved these games forever and finally decided to buy this one, I loved it, I only wish you could restart the room and not have to restart the whole game if you mess up

### 4/5 — Last level sucks

*2026-04-15, version 1.4*

Overall is great, but the last level,which is you need to find the right order of the keys to unlock the sugar. What if I didn’t notice those stamps while playing? I’ve got no choice but to google it.

### 5/5 — Soooo good

*2026-02-20, version 1.4*

Best game from rusty lake I’ve played so far

### 5/5 — may be my new fav

*2026-02-08, version 1.4*

the dinner ratings and secret ingredients make this one so uniquely fun. i just wish that we were able to look around the rooms before exiting to give ourselves one more chance to find the hidden ingredients. this one is a bit more lighthearted than many others despite it literally being about murdering hotel guests. im sure its the fact that they are all animals but im loving it nevertheless. i want more where there are extra levels where maybe you kill the bat too!!

### 5/5 — Затягивает

*2026-02-02*

Одни из лучших игр серии Ржавое Озеро. Определено советую всем поиграть. Не пожалеете.

### 5/5 — Love all your games!

*2026-01-18, version 1.4*

Enjoyed every single game of rusty lake! Also recommend to all myfriends. Looking forward to see more coming.
Only question is don’t know how play the secret level with the code I won XD

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-01-09, version 1.4*

I have been playing the entire cube escape series and this is the 7th one I have beat. This game was so different and so fun. And Yes, I got the secret ending for the next game.

### 5/5 — Amazing feels like an escape room

*2026-01-03, version 1.4*

I would recommend all of rusty lake games, I think their puzzles are fab some have me puzzling away for hours! I hope the devs are proud with what they have done, all of their games are fantastic and the standard is high! If you want something to keep you entertained for hours these are fab!!

*2025-10-25, version 1.4*

Rusty Lake gets me.

### 5/5 — Boy

*2025-08-29, version 1.4*

Do I sure love cannibalism

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-08-24, version 1.4*

I’ve been playing Rust Lake for years! Absolutely love them all :)

### 5/5 — indubitably amazing Definitely worth the money

*2025-08-19, version 1.4*

I love rusty lake as a whole! And this and many others are one of my favorite.

### 5/5 — Another banger

*2025-08-07, version 1.4*

Amazing, creepy puzzle game with an intriguing storyline. Glad I went back to the beginning to follow the stories because they do sort of build on each other.

### 4/5 — Fun but morbid

*2025-08-03*

A longer game in the rusty league series. Great in terms of its Storytelling, it reveals a lot because you’re playing from the point of view of… well play the game to know more! 

The puzzles are quite interesting , but some of them really don’t make any sense, and you have to look up videos to figure out next steps. 

Many parts of it are very morbid and require you to do really disgusting or disdainful things. I guess this game is designed to make you feel uncomfortable.

I do feel this game is skippable, and if you just watch a video run through, you can still catch up on the story.

### 5/5 — GOAT

*2025-07-15, version 1.4*

Greatest of all time ……maybe there should be a GOAT character xxx brilliant🥰

### 5/5 — Amazing but scary

*2025-07-13, version 1.4*

You know what to do.

### 1/5 — I want my $2 back.

*2026-03-31, version 1.4*

What was this mess? Are these reviews from bots? Incredibly twisted - not in a good way - and literally no story.

### 1/5 — -

*2025-09-22*

ГДЕ ДЕТАЛЬНЫЙ ОТЗЫВ, КОТОРЫЙ БЫЛ ОТПРАВЛЕН ЕЩЁ 2 МЕСЯЦА НАЗАД??????

### 1/5 — Не могу пройти Фазана из-за бага

*2023-12-30*

Не работают фотоаппарат в комнате с Фазаном, баг, устраните

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2022-12-20, version 1.4*

I love the other games in the series but this game is frustrating to no end.  There’s no option to reset a room if you miss an ingredient (pigeon - blackberry, which I only found through a walkthrough because you can’t undo a move and have to start the whole thing over when you miss).  Some of the newer responses to the same complaint says that the option is now available but I’m not seeing it.

### 1/5 — To be continued

*2022-11-14, version 1.4*

The game was too short, I didn’t know that you have to pay to continue + at the end of the game there are many keys that you need to put in the right order, I wasn’t sure about that so I decided to leave it for later but then you are not able to come back and the game finishes. 
I love Rusty Lake that’s why I decided to spend my first salary on one of their games but I wasn’t expecting this, very disappointed 🙁

### 1/5 — не возможно пройти.

*2022-10-03*

в комнате с оленем не возможно пройти испытание с унициями,просто не хватает деления

### 1/5 — バグだらけ

*2022-09-08*

ラビットの部屋で、ナイフを手に刺してしまうと、絵からのアイテムが手に入らない。
リセットしてやり直したが、今度はラビットから鍵が手に入らなくなった。

ナイフはともかく、ラビットから鍵が手に入らなくなるのは明らかにバグなので直して欲しい。
リセットすると、オープニングからになるのでもう面倒でやりたくない。

### 1/5 — Me angry

*2022-01-17, version 1.4*

Bad

### 1/5 — Impossible puzzle

*2022-01-17, version 1.4*

I can’t get past the water bottle Levels puzzle. 
No matter how much I study the walkthrough. 
I hate that type of puzzle. Waste of money.
Rusty Lake is usually so good. Annoying.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2021-10-30, version 1.4*

Gameplay bugs that make it impossible to progress. In Mr Deer’s room, unable to capture the butterfly with the glass jar or create rosemary — confirmed it with a walkthrough online. Hopefully the game will work eventually

Отличная головоломка на вечер.

### 5/5 — Best of Rusty Lake

*2026-06-01, version 1.4*

I have played all of the Rusty Lake games but this one is by far my favorite. I like the sense of dark humor with the menu and the guest list *technically not a spoiler*. Thank you to the team at Rusty Lake for creating such fun & unique games!

### 5/5 — Fun!

*2026-05-20, version 1.4*

Wish it was longer, but loved every minute of it

### 5/5 — Love these games so much!

*2026-05-11, version 1.4*

I would love to play these games in a real life escape room. They are weird and very wonderful. The art work is amazing aswell. Everything you want from an escape room style game

### 5/5 — Incrível

*2026-04-26*

Eu certamente sou fã N°1 dessa desenvolvedora, todos os jogos me prendem e tem uma história maravilhosa, é intrigante, viciante, e quando acaba eu sempre quero mais! Esse certamente foi o mais pesado comparado aos outros jogos, eu adorei essa pegada, maravilhoso!!!!

### 5/5 — One of my favourites

*2026-03-27, version 1.4*

I have played all the Rusty Lakes games through. Some twice over and I really do enjoy this one.
