I woulda been 0% offended if you left to go download and play the games immediately, but I’m 100% flattered that you chose to stay. You still here? Cool! Thanks for sticking around. Cook up a tasty snack from our FREE Quarantine Cookbook and click your way through a thoroughly odd adventure! Rusty Lake Games: Long Review (with Pics!) They’re adorably eerie and fantastic for killing time. Escape the various games’ rooms, even if you’re unable to escape your own right now. But, if you wanna skip my gabbing, I’ll be 0% offended.ĭownload the Rusty Lake games for your phone or computer and have some fun. I’m going to go more in-depth about the games below because I love ’em and - gosh darn it! - I wanna talk about ’em. The games can be played pretty much in any order (my first play-through of all 14 games was almost completely out of order and I had a blast trying to piece the disjointed story together) however, the official/recommended play order for the games is: It’s a great stand-alone game and a lovely place to begin. Personally, I started with Rusty Lake: Roots as my first game in the series.
Rusty Lake’s wonderful series was the first that came to mind! ♥ So, I wanted to recommend some FREE (and/or affordable) horror-related games, even if we couldn’t create them ourselves. While we’ve been providing a wide variety of FREE STUFF to help y’all get through the months-long pandemic lockdown, no one in our core team has the know-how to create games. I just genuinely enjoy them and most of them are FREE to play. This isn’t a sponsored post in any way (I’m actually kinda nervous about if/when the Rusty Lake peeps will see this!) and won’t get any sort of a kickback if you grab these games. The first page of my phone’s GAMES folder is entirely (except for the two on the bottom-right) comprised of Rusty Lake games! These games will have you feeling amused-yet-uneasy, filled with dread while simultaneously delighted, challenged enough to never be bored yet not overly stressed (you can poke around and solve puzzles at your own pace), and you’ll likely still be thinking about these little games long after you’ve finished playing them. If you ever watched Twin Peaks and thought “I wish I could interact with/play with this show instead of just watching it!”… here ya go! (Note: Rusty Lake’s games have the “feeling” of Twin Peaks, but feature their own unique universe, characters, and plots). Robin and Maarten, Rusty Lake’s founders/developers, were heavily influenced by David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. While not billed as “horror” games, everything put out by Rusty Lake thus far has had a quirky-yet-creepy vibe. The four premium games vary in price depending on sales and whatnot, but are usually between $1.99-3.99 USD.
Plus a spin-off game, The White Door, put out via their alternate brand, Second Maze Studios. Rusty Lake also has three premium (but still highly affordable) point-and-click “adventure” games - Roots, Hotel, and Paradise. (Excluding Chapter 2 of Cube Escape: Paradox, the paid DLC).
You CAN, however, help virtual characters escape various rooms in Rusty Lake’s “Cube Escape” games!Īll of the “Cube Escape” games are available for FREE for Android, iOS, and Steam. But, no matter how bored you feel, please obey the pandemic lockdown rules (for your own safety and the good of us all).
Does sheltering-in-place have you climbing up the walls? A lot of folks wish they could “escape” their rooms these days.
