### 5/5 — Игра огонь

*2025-11-24*

Rusty Lake как всегда хорош прошел все серии игр. И этот шедевр не прошел стороной. Продолжайте в том же духе.

### 5/5 — Восторг 💔

*2025-08-26*

Очень люблю игры Rusty Lake, прошла все, как я думала, а потом случайно наткнулась на эту и очень удивилась. Если вбивать rusty lake, то эта игра не высвечивается, что странно. Но как же я была рада, когда нашла ее и поняла что могу еще раз насладиться этими замечательными головоломками. Все игры от rusty lake очень атмосферные и интересные. Конкретно от этой осталась в восторге, она отличается атмосферой от других, но безумно интересная и с большим смыслом) На всякий случай проверила не затерялась ли там еще одна игра, в которую я не играла))) но к сожалению нет. Поэтому все так же, продолжать ждать новые игры ❤️

### 5/5 — A game you can get lost in

*2025-08-24, version 2.4*

Loved it

### 5/5 — Душевно

*2025-06-06*

🥲❤️‍🩹👍

### 3/5 — 操作性が悪い

*2025-05-12*

パスワードを入力する場面などで、(別のワードで)何度か繰り返す必要があるのにいちいち1文字ずつしかスクロールできないが為に「怠いなぁ…」という感覚になってしまうのが勿体無い

### 5/5 — Unique

*2025-05-10, version 2.4*

Awesome
Concept. Loved everything.

### 5/5 — Rätselspass in einer surrealen Welt

*2025-05-04*

Macht viel Spaß, die Welt aus der Perspektive von Mr. Hill zu erleben. Unerwartete Wendungen und abwechslungsreiche Rätsel begleiten die Reise. Trotz einfacher Grafik und kurzer Spieldauer sicher mehr als 1 EUR wert!

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2025-03-24, version 2.4*

Great puzzles. Can’t wait until they make more. Highly recommend if you like to use your brain.

### 5/5 — Fantastic game!

*2025-03-21, version 2.4*

My favorite escape room/puzzle game so far.  Unique.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2025-01-27, version 2.4*

The only complaint is that there aren’t many many many more games. I have played all by Rusty Lake and my expectations are now too high to enjoy any other game. Until your next wonder 😍

### 5/5 — Rusty lake is fantastic

*2024-12-27, version 2.4*

Ever since I played my first rusty lake game, The samsara room, I was mesmerized by the amazing graphics and plot. It is true that nobody does it like rusty lake and that the whole world should try any of the rooms such as, The white door, seasons, samsara room, the birthday, the paradox… and so many more. Thank you rusty lake for giving me some of the best games in the whole world!!

### 5/5 — Excellent puzzle game!

*2024-12-17, version 2.4*

Rusty Lake is my new favourite for puzzles, and The White Door is one of their best. These beautiful and strange puzzles are challenging.

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2024-11-24*

Qualidade incrível

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-11-13, version 2.4*

I loved this game so bad!

### 5/5 — More Please

*2024-10-24, version 2.4*

I love this game. I’ve played it a lot of times. Please do more!!

### 3/5 — Бестолковая (

*2024-10-06*

Обожаю игры rusty lake, но эта меня разочаровала. Не понимаю почему вы делаете такие великолепные игры бесплатными, и наоборот. Я бы и бесплатно ее не стала проходить, если бы знала. Головоломок 0, только за сюжет ставлю 3 звезды и то завышаю

### 5/5 — classic rusty lake high art

*2024-09-12, version 2.4*

admittedly less a game than an interactive narrative, but very very interactive. gripping, emotional, well delivered

### 5/5 — 太牛了

*2024-08-16, version 2.4*

哇靠这游戏真的太绝了 
玩basement的时候太震撼了 感觉锈湖越来越真实了
很遗憾这么晚才认识到这么好的游戏 错过了找cube的环节😮‍💨

### 5/5 — Sooooo good

*2024-07-11, version 2.4*

Please make more I’ve now bought all your games! And have nothing else to play!

### 1/5 — não vale o preço

*2026-03-15*

não acredito

### 1/5 — Waste of time.

*2024-04-07, version 2.4*

I absolutely love the rusty lake series. However, this game, I’m sorry, is by far the worst, most boring, laziest game in the series. Its really really BAD.

### 1/5 — Yikes

*2023-05-03, version 2.4*

I am a die hard fan of Rusty Lake so I was excited for this one, but it was such a miss. I kept waiting for it to get interesting, but it was annoying to play and the puzzles were just too simple and kind of pointless. Not sure what happened here, but it definitely wasn’t worth the money.

### 1/5 — Where is the game?

*2020-07-07, version 2.4*

Trying to load game after paying but no success.
Deleted and tried again but it won’t load.
Want to give more stars but need to play!

### 1/5 — What the hell !

*2020-05-24*

What were you trying to do here ? who was your target audience ? kids won’t get your complex plots and adults won’t solve those complex aptitude puzzles !!! 
I usually never buy into any of these paid games but I saw the rating and the theme looked kind of nice. Sadly, it’s just a drunk guy asked to solve complex puzzles with no meaningful result.
My advice - back off.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2020-04-23, version 2.3*

I have to agree with the other reviewers that this was a serious disappointment. Not at all on par with the other Rusty Lake games. Not one of the puzzles presented any kind of challenge. I believe there are some additional achievements, but I have no desire to go back through the motions for them.  Hopefully the next game will be more in line with the original concepts

### 1/5 — Dull

*2020-02-17, version 2.3*

This game is dull.   The ridiculous number of REPETATIVE mechanical operations broke me.  I can't even bring myself to waste the time to finish it.   Not at all like other Rusty Lake games. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Poor script

*2020-02-12, version 2.3*

Rusty Lake, c’mon, seriously? The dialogues are like preschool level. As an old fan of the series I AM CONFUSED.

### 1/5 — 버그 확인도 안하나봄

*2020-01-31*

러스티 레이크 재밌어서 시리즈별로 다 다운받고 이번에도 다운 받았는데 이거 day4에서 확인 다 해도 뒤로 안넘어감. 내가 뭐 잘못했나 싶어서 공략 찾아봤는데 그냥 버그라서 안넘어갔던 것임. 리셋하고 다시 할려고 해도 또 멈춤 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 돈주고 산게임인데 day4에 그냥 머물러 있음.....ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-01-12, version 1.9*

I have played all their games and this one really let me down. The concept of this one is brand new and you have never seen it before. However, the puzzles in the game are too easy compared to their old games, and also the ways of solving them are the same/similar. I would say it’s a baby level puzzle. The game is ducking short too!!!  I have been waiting for Rusty Lake’s new release for a long time and I guess that’s the reason I’m so disappointed as well. 
This game is not for their faithful followers. Please keep doing your fantastic job like before. We really want new games and new puzzles. Please.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-08-23, version 2.4*

Love this game! Explains some things from other games and hints at the others if you haven’t played them yet. Some puzzles were confusing but judges looked up a walkthrough. But didn’t need many. Great job!

### 5/5 — Sensacional

*2026-05-14*

Sempre impressionando cada vez mais

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-04-04, version 2.4*

I have been playing the entire rusty lake series and this is the 14th game I have beat and this was amazing the story, lore, and gameplay were all so fun and different. Loved this.

### 5/5 — The best

### 5/5 — Fav RL game

*2026-02-09, version 2.4*

This one is so fire all the references to other games are awesome. It feels like the other games all amount to this one. I hope there’s more coming

### 5/5 — Thoroughly enjoyable game
