“A fun and free game that is easy to complete in one seating with all the achievements”
“Firstly, thanks for the game! I def. recommend who thinks to play. The story is like taking 1-2 hours to finish so its short. It is my 2. game from Rusty Lake series and thats the best one for me. I like the puzzles. It…”

“This game gave me a run for my time because it taught me just how much I suck at puzzle-esacpe like games. 10/10 would torment myself again”

“I still feel schizophrenic. I think that's common with these games.”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“It's great, especially for a free game! I did have to look up the answers a couple times because i'm a dum dum and got stuck, but it's nice that they provided a walkthrough IN the game! Saves some time and the walkthrough was very straight-forward. I did solve most of the game…”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“The puzzles are illogical. For example, you have to click on a cat and then knock on the door twice to get matches. Unfortunately, it's impossible to complete the game without guide.”
