Amazing
I have been playing the entire Cube Escape series and this is the 10th game I have beat. I loved the family tree and having to do all the little frames and yes I did the secret and I had to get a video to help me because it was so hard amazing game.

Awesome game and amazing storyline!!
I absolutely love playing all the games. It’s the first time I actually have ever spent money on buying an app. Any time I see a new game, free or not I play the game. It’s amazing lore, graphics, background, and unique story. It’s mysterious and horrifying intriguing. Keep up the good work guys! If you like puzzles and mystery and thrillers, you’ll love this game✨💙

So well thought out and entertaining
I have become a diehard fan of rusty lake over the past two weeks. I have played almost every game they have made (I’m about to start paradise) and so far this has been my favorite. It was actually difficult to step away from this game. I was almost late to church because I just wanted to keep playing. The story is so interesting and you never know where it’s going to end up going. I need a 10 page paper analyzing the meaning behind all of the lore in this game at this point. The mini games are challenging but entertaining at the same time. I only needed help on two of the puzzles but I’m sure I could have figured them out even without a walk through. However, expect to go through withdrawal after you finish this game, it is actually depressing to realize you’ve run out of content. I am so excited for what the developers do in the future and I am so sad that I’m about to have finished their entire catalogue. If I could give a million stars for this game I would. Genuinely the best game I’ve played on the App Store!

Great game!
This game is so engrossing, I’ve been hooked and going back through all of them in order. Well done, devs, I hope these continue!

Rusty Lake Roots is a veeeeeeeeery good game
So I hope I don’t hit the integer limit, cause I have lots to say. This is very good. It’s old now, so I don’t expect anyone to see this, but I bought it a long time ago and it was worth my money. In fact, all your games are worth my money, and are driving me insane as we speak as I peace together the lore.
Anyways, the game. I love the art style, I love the soundtrack, I love the spooky moments, I love the sad moments, and the macabre or otherwise uniquely rusty lake moments.
There is one thing. I wish I could revisit portraits. Technically you can for some, but hey whatever. Turns out I was okay, I didn’t yap too much, that’s good, like this game :))

One small problem
100/10 game, took awhile to complete! But I had/am still having a little problem with it on "the war hero" I would put the birds in the correct spot and the green one would disappear or just keep it in a flying position and i dont wanna delete the game but idk what to do
★★★★★positiveJbiel945 · 2024-06-07 · v1.2
Always!
I will
Always get Rusty Lakes games! They are challenging and so much fun. Thank you for the WALKTHROUGHS! They are truly a saving grace.
★★★★★positivePickee8er · 2024-01-03 · v1.2
Rusty Lake does it again
Why can’t more companies make games like Rusty Lake? They’re so good, and have a creepy side to them. I only wish that they didn’t end because you’re like, “More, please…”

If you haven’t played all the Rusty Lake games, start now!
I love Rusty Lake’s imagination! From more elaborate games like this to the fast cube escapes, they are always interesting and challenging - even having played them before. This one is segmented into perfect chunks so you can puzzle as long or as little as you’d like. I love the art, story, macabre details, and will buy every game they produce.

4 BECAUSE
I love this series its always disturbing but only 1/3 through and ive been crying for 10 minutes. I just don’t understand why do that too a kid. I know it’s fake but im so saddened. This particular game of the series is not for the faint of heart. That’s the best i can say….Be forewarned

BEST ONE OUT SO FAR!!!
I have been playing escape room/ puzzle games for years, rusty lake games being my top choice of them all, but Within all the choices they offer I have completely fallen in love with Roots. It has been the most intriguing and fun game so far. I only wish I could forget about it so I could play again and again!

GOD I LOVE YOU GUYS BEST GAMES EVER MADE
Literally addicted to rusty lake I can’t stop playing the storyline the art it’s all top tier UGHHH I just love it I’m so sad to finish this game
★★★★★neutralmurbabs · 2023-06-01 · v1.2
great game, too disturbing.
I have no played all of the cube escape games so I thought i would give one of the paid games a try. i love puzzle games and the art style with these puzzles are always really cool.
obviously, these games are meant to be creepy and mysterious. that aspect i have never had a problem with. however, this game was just straight up disturbing and unnerving. the killing of kids, the cutting of body parts, the use of tarot cards and a ouija board was just a lot for me. call me soft but i’ve never been super disturbed by the cube escape games even though there have been dead bodies and dead fetuses in them.
the puzzles were also super easy and i didn’t feel challenged as much.
★★★★★positiveTyleristhequeen · 2023-04-23 · v1.2
Just as amazing, but a different vibe than cube escape
This game was awesome just like the others and I rlly like the new lore and creepy stuff and new characters. Only thing a little confusing with this game is none of the people have animals heads lol. But I’m starting to think that all the animal head people represent some of these people so I’m definitely not complaining! Can’t wait til everything makes sense haha!!

As Always, Supurb
Great puzzles, creepy atmos - what else do you need from a PnC game?
My only complaint is that I want more!!!!!!

One of my favorites
I just played it over for the second time (I’m replaying all the rusty lake stuff now) but this one is by far my favorite. I love the elaborate storyline that stretches for three generations and each puzzle is so well done and perfect. I wish I could erase my memory to replay it for the first time. AND I love how it’s so long. So much great work and artistry has been put into this game. It’s so good
