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

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…”

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✨💙

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.

BEST GAMES EVER

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 :))
