Cheaper than couples therapy!

We played this fun and well crafted game over three days. As our communication improved, so did our problem solving. Can’t wait to play the other version. This game is a bargain.

LOVE it!

Always love the games made by rusty lake. This was so fun playing co-op. A longer gameplay than I expected and a cool concept. I found the puzzles to be less difficult than in other games, but it was fun going through it with another person.

Worth playing!

Firstky! Buy this game and play with your friend or loved one you won’t regret it if you love problem solving.

I played this with my husband in the same room as him. We sat at other side of the room and communicated what we could see. The game doesn’t hold your hand you need to work out next steps and communicate!

We managed to complete in within a few hours all in between our usual evening routine of dinner, chores and putting our child to bed. We could shut down our phones on between and pick up where we left off.

The game itself is full of puzzles in a two part play (chapter 1 & 2) with each getting a different view each chapter one person past the other in future.

Personally I found it very creative and so enjoyable. My husband and I love to game together on pc games and have this a try as we struggle for that time now we are parents. I hope the developers bring out more games like this, as it was fantastic for its price and we played through the butterfly’s puzzle. After completing it we found if we switch roles and choose the bee it gives us a new way to play. So we get to play again but from a different perspective, giving thing game a new experience again!

We can’t wait to play again tomorrow from the different view! Thanks for making an awesome game!

Fun game— the bugs ruined it

Fun co-op game… with the exception of certain elements getting monotonous (i.e., communicating a code and rinse and repeating the EXACT same mechanism 3+ times).

We had to pause so i closed the app. When I came back, the save file must have corrupted since I couldn’t get back into the game. And I tried everything… quitting the app and replaying, shutting my phone off, etc… I had to uninstall and reinstall the app so we had to start from the beginning. Ruined the experience.

Had fun!!

I recently bought the game for both me and my girlfriend to play and allow her to experience the rusty lake atmosphere that I have always loved since I was a child and to say the least we both had so much fun, I have always loved rusty lake and the games it’s been able to provide with beautiful story telling and amazing art, I love seeing rusty lake keep pushing out such amazing experiences and finally one that I was able to experience with my favorite person.

Honestly, really good!

I have never played mobile games like this before. And wow. Phenomenal. I played this with my boyfriend and it was very fun. Awesome game. 10/10 will be playing it again. Especially since there are different solutions to the puzzles depending on the mode you play! I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who wants to try something fun.

Fun spooky puzzle game for 2

Escape room elements well executed and give ease of function to keep the puzzles the harder part. Worth it if you have good communication with the other player!

Muito bom

5 estrelas

Totally Awesome

The design of this puzzle solving game is INCREDIBLE. We couldn’t have solved the puzzles without being able to look at each others screens- the game was made up so well. So creepy I jumped a couple of times. Beware. This game will have you hooked you won’t be able to put it down!

IN AWE!!! - BEST GAME EVER!!!

I came here looking for a co-op puzzle game and instead found myself staring at what I can only describe as a 3-course meal of Victorian flesh and existential dread, with an ambient soundtrack that made me feel like I was being slowly digested by something with excellent taste. My wife and I sat down expecting a fun little game and stood up as different people with questions about our bloodlines.

The atmosphere is immaculate. The sound design is doing things that should be reported. The artwork is so gorgeous and so deeply wrong that it felt rude to look at it without a reservation. The puzzles are smart without being cruel, the lore is rich and completely unhinged in the best way, and somehow you and your partner end up doing real teamwork over what is essentially a dead man’s cryptic to-do list.

If you have not played this, you are eating fast food while a Michelin-star kitchen is right next door. 5 stars. We’re already ordering dessert.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Upcoming new chapter?

Love the game and visuals. Are there going to be new chapters coming out soon?

여자친구랑 1시간만에 깼네요 ㅋㅋ

전체적으로 좋은 추억이였습니다. 결말이 다소 아쉽긴 하지만 옆에 함께 누워 문제를 푸는 재미가 있네요

다른 버전도 얼른 해보고 싶습니다. 노고에 박수드립니다

This game is great!

Me and my wife loved playing this game while I was away for work. It’s well worth the price and is a lot of fun. The puzzles were well done and it is such a cool concept.

Sure, you have to buy two copies for it to work, but it is WELL worth the price.

Downloaded all rusty lake games before realizing this one is co-op only

Wasted money on this… The reason I like escape games is because it’s a completely solo game!!! Any co-op between players strip away the fun!!! And especially this one is a paid game!

신작 기다리다 지쳐

올해 초에 나온대서 언제나오나 생각날때마다 들어오는중.. 모든 버전 잊을만하면 하고 또하고 반복하다보니 눈감고도 풀겠아요.. 빨리 신작 내주시긔
