Download Rusty Lake: Roots APK

Not sure how my review got deleted. I've played all of the Rusty Lake games listed on Google Play, except for Hotel, so far. This would have to be my favorite of them. The story really gripped me and drew me in. The puzzles were challenging enough without being too difficult, with some minor exceptions. I'll admit that a lot of the Rusty Lake games tend to lose me in terms of what's going on, but this one felt very cohesive and I actually understood what was happening :)

Pros: Story. I really enjoyed the depth of this game compared to the others. The story, told in snapshots of time, developed strong characters and a narrative that I wanted to understand. Similarly to Birthday, the game emotes uneasiness, a feeling of dread and mystery without being obtuse. That is impressive considering that there is little animation or dialogue. By the end, I didn't want to leave these characters and the after game surprise was a perfect gift. Cons:. Gameplay. This is the first game where the developers use the scroll right/left control. I did not have a smooth experience with this method of movement on my mobile device. I had to strain my eyes to view some of the puzzles and there were times that I simply could not see what I needed to see. The puzzles were just as difficult and logical as the other games in the series. I appreciated that most of the multi-step puzzles kept the progress you made as you completed steps outside of the actual puzzle to solve. Overall, an excellent work the price of admission.
