Rusty Lake Returns With Servant Of The Lake, But Gets Tangled In Its Roots

The Rusty Lake series has now been running for an impressive 11 years. Beginning as Cube Escape, a series of free, short Flash puzzle-based escape room games (before they were really called that), it then quickly embellished itself to include longer, more story-driven entries. There are now ten Cube Escape games and nine mainline games in its ever-growing world of Lynchian weirdness. Servant of the Lake is a return to the style of entries that would usually be prefixed with the Rusty Lake moniker, like Rusty Lake Hotel and Rusty Lake Roots, another creepy exploration of a generation of the Lake’s Vanderboom family. Which, I’m perhaps not-so-subtly indicating, makes this perhaps a little too familiar.
