I downloaded a random cube escape game when searching for a "point and click" game, and instantly fell in love with the series. As someone who went to school for creative writing and art, I love the weird story and the art style. Playing through the series has helped my anxiety at night when I can't sleep, and sadly I've now I've played all the free and premium ones (and I NEVER purchase games or take the time to review apps). Can't wait to see what you come out with next!

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.

One of the best mobile games I've ever played. Great story with a truly creepy atmosphere. Be warned, if you don't like jump scares, there are a few. I love the family tree component of the story and the motifs that are established for each character. The graphics and sound are awesome. Some of the puzzles are not the most intuitive, but I didn't want an easy game that could be finished in an hour. That said, the walkthroughs help in a pinch. Definitely a Rusty Lake fan.
