This is the strongest recommendation I can give to a puzzle game. I probably was, but it didn't matter because I had to see what happened next.
That's the hook and it's such a good hook that even though I've finished the entire game twice I can't remember being annoyed by any of the puzzles. Rusty Lake Hotel is a murder mystery game set in a creepy hotel in which everyone is for dinner. The important thing is that I'm paying so much attention to the colours and the words that I don't realise how much brainpower I'm having to spend on the actual puzzles.
Give me a puzzle game with a strong theme and/or story, and you might keep my attention though. And I hate most puzzle games because I have no patience and am often incredibly stubborn and foolish.
ENDLESS LAKE UNBLOCKED FREE
There's something in common with room escape games and the two commercial Rusty Lake games are connected to a larger, weirder universe that you can explore through the free Cube games, which do belong to the room escape genre.Įssentially, what I'm saying is that these are puzzle games. They're point and click games, in a sense, though you're interacting with scenes in an abstract sense rather than controlling a character on the screen. If you haven't played them, you should play both. Hotel is my favourite, I think, though Roots is perhaps more ambitious.
The Rusty Lake games are beautifully macabre creations. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
