“An incredible addition to the great series. I love the storytelling here, it reminds me of Silent Hill 2 in some way. As always, worth the time and money.”

“In a weird way, I relate to some things in this game. it gets really emotional (or that's just me) towards the end. I do recommend, it's a straight forward puzzle game with a simple story. The only thing I think I need…”
“Seriously one of the best parts of the Rusty Lake series. It lived up to the hype by connecting all the dots from previous entries. The story is getting deeper, and the atmosphere is spot on. Rating: 9/10. Just wish it…”
“Minimalist design, maximum impact. A hauntingly beautiful experience.”

“Just completed the game in one sitting. I still have no idea what is going on. Some of the puzzles took me awhile to figure out, but not crazy difficult. Strange story line.”
“I bought this game in the "Second Maze Bundle" and out of all of those games this one is the weakest by far in my opinion. The puzzles are really easy with only a few that made me think. The idea of the story is quite…”
“Maybe I just didn't get it. But I didn't care for the story in this one. The ending flew over my head and the rest was very ambiguous.”
