Rusty Lake Paradise

Another episode in the Rusty Lake point&click adventure series, this one takes us a few centuries back into the past and tells the tale of the Eilander family, the grim destiny of their first-born son, and dreadful secrets of the island in the middle of the lake. Story is divided into ten chapters, which are patterned along the biblical Plagues of Egypt, where you get to collect and use items and solve puzzles to complete each chapter. In all other aspects the game looks very similar to the other two pieces in the “Rusty Lake” trilogy (“Hotel” and “Roots”), with identical graphics style and gaming concept, and of the three games I would say this one is the most scary. Just like its predecessors (although chronologically, this game could be considered as the beginning of the series) the game is available at a good price and is enjoyable, and I can only recommend it to all point&click players – not just this particular piece, but all the Rusty Lake games.

Rusty Lake have made some of my favorite point and clicks of all time. These games are intriguing with the story and witty with the puzzles! It took several hours and a couple restarts but I've finally found all the secrets on this one!! Highly recommended if you too are a completionist.

it's nice

All Rusty Lake games are fantastic. If it caught your interest, look up the release order for the Cube Escape games. Most are free. The franchise is really solid.

The final game in the rusty lake trilogy, still weird as the others, a must play for those who are fans of the other games in the franchise. Had a bug with the owl clicking achievement but other than that, pretty solid.

Kinda of a weird game.. You really gotta look at the whole thing and understand the world you are entering when you play these games. They were inspired by the TV Series "Twin Peaks" so they are intentionally weird and cryptic. Once I knew what I was in for, the games become addictive. Especially since I am a completionist and NEED to get ALL the achievements.

Fun short, intuitive but not altogether obvious puzzles. Dark theme. Weird, indie, quirky as hell.

This was easier compared to other rusty lake games. However, as usual, I enjoyed the story and the gameplay.

oh yahhh

Another banger from the Rusty Lake team. I feel like some of the puzzles were a little opaque, but the atmosphere and humour carries it.

I like cubes.

creepy, but boring

good

rusty lake does not know how to miss

This builds very nicely on Rusty Lake Hotel And Rusty Lake Roots so I will focus primarily on where it differs.
Pros: It uses several things to great effect, including the now increased Grecian tragedy element, the fact that the levels overall share a setting and characters which are different each time in a thematically appropriate way, the gradually unfolding mystery(what happened to the player character's mother, and why) and the more direct exploration of what is really going on in these games which was more implied in the first two. Helps explain the others. Cons: Though it happens significantly less by this point, there are still times where you won't know exactly what happens when you click the mouse on a thing, and sometimes it'll do something you didn't expect, occasionally slowing down your progress. It doesn't introduce a new element that's on the level of the drag mechanic, though that one is still present.
Strongly recommended

I JUST REALLY LIKE THIS THIS GAME

This whole saga is amazing, should play if you like puzzles

DO NOT SEARCH UP LUSTY RAKE ON GOOGLE

I don't like this game as much as I like the other games, primarily because the puzzles didn't stand out to me as much and when they did some just didn't feel as polished, while I did like the mass majority of them you had some like the constellation ones, that actually just made me annoyed since the constellations were actually just wrong for some of them which made it relatively hard to solve. that minor annoyance aside. I find the game amazing especially with the story drive aspect, as the game went on I got far more interested in the story than I was in the puzzles and I think the story is what really makes this game shine, this games story single handedly makes the other games in the series that much better for what it does.

I love the series but this game is broken and unplayable

This is a beautifully weird entry to the story of Rusty Lake.

a great paradise for psychos!

经典解密游戏。水准一如既往地高！

As always this game never dissapoints, the puzzles at the beggining are kinda just for warming up, because after certain plague it becomes really frustating at some points i literally had to click on every part of the differen rooms or escenarios to continue with the game cause they give you no clue about what to do next... BUT ITS AN AMAZING GAMEE!! THE HISTORY THAT PARADISE TELLS YOU REALLY BLOWS YOUR F MIND!!

some puzzles are rather simple while other are rather very much difficult so this creates a place were you are stuck overthinking a puzzle for 5 minutes only to realize it had the simplest solution ever, although the game is great the ending was kinda sh.itty

it was a bit lame at first, but then the story got more interesting. i love the visuals and creepiness

It is a short but very interesting game. Some puzzles are very easy but still fun and a few are challenging but not frustrating.

Gooooood

Mae'n perffaith ddim, ond mae'n Rusty Lake.

It's not perfect, but it's Rusty Lake

Another great sequel in the franchise!

Paradise is, so far, my favourite instalment from the Rusty Lake series. Genius, intriguing, and so twisted. Such a great story. Gorgeous artwork and beautiful music. The David is such a creep, and Elizabeth is just amazing.

I adore all the Rusty Lake games! a great morbid and odd spin on point and click puzzle games.

Amazing game, highly recommend!

I absolutely loved this game. It was quite challenging at times, but the story was compelling and it was fun to try and connect it to Rusty Lake Hotel. Unfortunately, while I know for a fact I got several achievements, they're not showing in Steam so that's a bit disappointing, but otherwise it was a ton of fun!

Another addition to the Rusty Lake series - I encountered some issues using a controller on the steam deck where long clicks not reacting as I expected, but Rusty Lake Paradise had more levels, more puzzles, and even weirder than the last and it was an incredibly fun game to play.

oh okay

Accidentally messed up making the perfect burger for the achievement because I didn't realize I had the cheese equipped. HAD TO RESTART THE LEVEL AND IT PISSED ME OFF!

.....

It's a pretty good game. Manages to creep me out once per level. However, I had to use a walkthrough about 6-7 times. Some of the puzzles are too hard.

Great game. Had a good time going back and getting all the achievements.

Another "fun" trip to the lake.

Enjoyed

i love the game...

The puzzles were fun and enjoyable as always. The story, on the other hand, was a bit obscure to me. I am not quite sure what is going on. I am going to need to wrap my head around trying to figure out what actually happened there. Overall, it was great!

SPOILER: Also, I jumped a bit at fireflies scene. Why was that scary!?

Paradise would not exist without great sacrifice.

This too appears to be a prequel, perhaps even to Rusty Lake: Roots itself, from the Rusty Lake developers. The theme of this entry in the series makes references to the 10 biblical plagues visited upon Egypt.

Rusty Lake lore hit diff fr.

Fantastic puzzles and immersive game play

Rusty Lake stuff is always a 10/10 for me.

I love rusty lake
