WOW, one of the best offline paid games ever. Just saying right now, app unwrapped,( NOT SPONSORING) is the best for written guide for the game. Some puzzles were hard to figure out on your own. Only "bug" unlike other rusty lakes, and I've downloaded/ played them all, is you click an object too fast or repeatedly, it "floats"upward. Kinda "bugged" me ( ha ha ), but overall, great game, hope HOTEL is as good too, cause I bought that too. AWESOME and OFFLINE, TY!

Love this Rusty Lake escape game as usual. It's not your typical escape the room. The story was well written and it has the dark humor like all the other Rusty Lake game. I love this especially because it consist multiple mini games instead of one huge one. There are 33 smaller chapters and bonus at the end. Best one so far! The difficulty levels range from 2 to 4.5 depends on the chapter. There's also walkthrough on their website and Google so no worries. Can't wait for their new one.

Marvellous game Starting with a single recommendation on Reddit (for Rusty Lake Hotel), I've just completed the tenth (or eleventh?) game in this ridiculously brilliant series. Hotel and Roots are both decent length games and well worth the money. The other, shorter ones (the Escape Cube series) vary in length but are all free and all tie in with this single, overarching story. It's truly fantastic, and appealed very well to my taste for the weird, creepy and fun. Reminded me a lot of Twin Peaks in tone. Get this.

I've never seen a horror puzzle game before, but this is incredible.The timing is flawless, there's always enough time between each jumpers for you to forget it's coming. The puzzles are also some of the best I've ever come across.

Superb puzzle solving mystery series with elements of horror and esoterica that span several games with hidden clues throughout the series. Think: Edgar Allan Poe meets 'Alice in Wonderland' meets 'Twin Peaks' and you get 'Rusty Lake'. It's a fun, twisted, and macabre adventure down the rabbit hole. And you'll never want to come back out.

Great game, would love to replay levels This is a great game and a nice addition to the other Rusty Lake story lines. Edited: I tried to replay a completed level, and was told you can go to Settings and click the Reset button. The game will let you reset just the level or the entire game. Unfortunately, this doesn't work on totally completed levels, just on partial ones. Please fix!

Hi Bemina, Completed levels can't be replayed. There is also no need to do so. When it was possible to reopen a completed level it probably caused only confusion. Please email us at info@rustylake.com if want to discus it more. Rusty Lake are the masters! I've been addicted to the entire series and Roots is no exception. Awesome gameplay with ample challenging moments. Best of all, the whole event is cloaked in a sinister, almost morbid atmosphere that only adds to the tension and excitement. Always worth the wait and $4 very well spent. Highly recommended!
Buy it, I guarantee you'll love it. Dark, twisted, macabre fun. The entire series is an absolute blast to play and Roots is no exception. It's not long (you can beat it in an afternoon), but you've definitely paid more to go see a film. Why not get a great story with wonderful music and tricky logic puzzles for a few bucks? If you're not sure you'll like it, play any of Rusty Lake's free online games, and realize that this is any of those games x5. Seriously. Buy it, play it, and enjoy.
Already excited for more Another incredible addition to this breath taking series! This new approach to the rusty lake style is both ambitious and successful. It's a somewhat mechanically different game that builds on the formula while keeping true to the old feel. I can't wait to see where the rusty lake team will take us next!
A perfect puzzler, with a story built around the progression of time and an evolving family. Dark and suspenseful, filled with the by now well known cast of characters in some wonderful cameos. The latest offering in the Rusty Lake saga is a deepening of the mythos and remains as surreal and darkly satisfying as the previous entries. The developers have once again produced a different though clearly recognisable sequel whilst avoiding any stagnation of the series. Whilst the horizontal-scrolling setting was a departure from the rotating cube rooms of the previous games, this is a worthy entry into my favourite game series of all time.

Thanks for the review Tom! The Rusty Lake games are consistently incredible (and occasionally creepy/disturbing)... but Roots is their weakest offering. It has the most sophisticated graphics, but the least independent thinking/solving. Each chapter has one clear task - you never have to figure anything out.
Wonderful content Starts off simple....gets you into it. Experienced Rusty's will definitely get a "child's play" feel. But that doesn't carry through the whole game. The story is well developed and clearly helps set up the future expansions. Oh and just when you think *spoiler blocked*.... -kinda long- ... They don't leave you hanging.
Bug when game resets Was great to play the first time round. Reset it so I could play again but when I get to "the search" level, there's a bug where the parrot never appears. So I'm stuck holding on to the tube with the note. Please have a look into this?

Hi Melita, sorry that you experienced this. Have you tried the full reset too? Please email us again at info@rustylake.com. Just finished the entire series.. Wow. This is one of the best game series ever. This one in particular was amazing. I played it last and it blew me away. Very creepy. Very fun. Love the puzzles. Love the connections to each game.. All I can say is.. I don't want it to be over. Please, MAKE MORE! If not in this storyline then create another. Lol I'm hooked. I'd buy every game. It's worth it.
Rusty Lake December 28, 2016
Thanks a lot for this review :)! Perfect (as usual) Worth every single penny. I have never been disappointed with a Rusty Lake release but this is a new high. Itching for the next macabre, compelling addition to the series. Keep up the good work team!
Wow just wow lol good game. Fun to play when just needing some good puzzles. Music wasn't to bad, so parts a bit annoying on the music, but turning it down a bit did the trick. I really enjoyed the game, enough to download another!
Another great addition to the rusty lake series I've completed all of the rusty lake games, while this one isn't as disturbing as Hotel it was still great as ever. Heaps of levels and secret ones so the game took a while to get through. Definitely would not like to meet uncle Albert on a dark night.
Bug? Anyone else having an issue with the chess board on level 29? I can't seem to get the chess piece to move around the board? I even checked the walkthrough and it shows the black chess piece moving around the board but mine won't budge!? HELP....I love these games and really want to finish this one :)
Creepy as all get out. Fun, intriguing, and easy to play. Tough puzzles that force you think outside the box while simultaneously not being too difficult to figure out. There's also a link in-game to a walk through for each puzzle, should you get stuck. Great game!!!
Can I give it ten stars? The elixir lab at the end was fascinating. Would love to see more of that and navigation related puzzles. (Have you guys heard of Starship Titanic, the Terry Jones game from the 90s? This series is so reminiscent of it.) Mr. Crow's voice continues to give me nightmares.
The roots run deep I love the Rusty Lake series with all my heart. The puzzles are always interesting and the art is the perfect fusion of quirky and creepy. The only downside is that every time I complete a game, I'm left wanting more! I've found very few games on Google Play as compelling and unique as Rusty Lake. I hope the series will continue!
I have never paid for a phone game before but after playing the free installments of the Rusty Lake series I was so impressed that I didn't think twice about this purchase. With 33 levels and bonus levels upon completion, the game is well worth the money and I'm more than happy to support Rusty Lake in hopes they continue to produce such great work. The game as the same mysterious and eery atmosphere that makes Rusty Lake so memorable and the puzzles were challenging and all around good fun.
WORTH IT! REALLY great (as aways) I have been in love with the whole series so far and this one might just be my new favorite. It has twists, beautiful graphics and it's not too challenging. So addicting, I'm probably gonna restart it just to play all over agian. Ill be back for the next one, keep up the good work!
I love your games, really. But I am 30 out of 33 right now and when I try to open The Last Dance it just goes to a black screen. Nothing happens, just sits there. I'm so close I would love to finish the game, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!

Hi Jennie, sorry that this happened. Could you go to settings and set graphics to low. Also go from the level to settings (not from main men) and hit reset, so you can retry this level. Let me know if this worked, otherwise email us at info@rustylake.com. Rusty Lake, I've downloaded ALL of your games and paid for the two Rusty Lake games, and I want to play it all over again. Please make some more. Please. ❤❤❤ You have my support forever.
Excellent series, decent game I love the cube escape series, and thought rusty lake hotel was a treat. While I enjoyed the story and creepyness of roots, the puzzles for the first half or so were too simple, and the latter half had some that were too complex. The game just didnt feel as well balanced as most of the rest of the series. You should still play it though.
For me Rusty lake games are truly on top in their genre. They redefine the very notion of the point and click puzzles, the levels are gorgeously designed and look more like riddles that are much more interesting and challenging. I'm looking forward to next masterpiece from you guys.
Amazing game. Definitely worth paying for. The whole series is really wacky and different and has kept me sane through an awful week of toothache and insomnia. Thank you. Please release more.

Thank you Maddy :) Glad you enjoyed it. I absolutely LOVE the Rusty Lake series and I have played and finished every single game they've put out. Im always super excited for the next game and im always looking forward to it! Some of the levels were a bit difficult and the controls a bit jankey but other than that I absolutely loved it!
I love this game, but i am completely stuck on The Clock, Masks & The Bathroom. No idea! The only thing i hate about this game, well, all your Rusty Lake games, is that you give next to no instructions & zero hints. At least in this game, i get the bubble thoughts for instruction. Thats it. But im stuck in a place where its not going forward.
I love all the Rusty Lake games! Well thought out puzzles and an intriguing storyline. Roots left me wanting to know more about the mysteries of Rusty Lake and how the Vanderboom family ties into the main storyline. Can't wait for more!
Outstanding game - love the whole series and I can't wait for more. The puzzles sometimes get a little repetitive but the story makes up for it and every now and then there are some really creative problems to solve.
The entire series is great but this one just shows the series is only getting better. These games are so deep and intriguing that you can't stop playing until you finish it. Keep up the good work rusty lake!
Great story and music The story and generally the ambience are great, I love Rusty Lake! The puzzles felt a bit easier than the other games in the series. EDIT: The bonus puzzles are however more challenging, and make a nice addition to the game and storyline!
Great game Amusing, entertaining, irritating and disturbing in equal measure. Rusty Lake have managed to create a consistently inconsistent original world that stays true to itself yet dances merrily on the feet of Lovecraft, Poe and Python. Smart, witty, charming and psychotic.
Guys, this is amazing! I'm a big fan of all your games and Roots was even better than your other escape episodes :) it's the first time I'm spending money on an Android game aaaand I don't regret xD. love the way you lead your story, atmosphere and graphics - they're so thrilling. It would be great to try some other ways of interacting with objects and the story itself - may be combining objects or more complicated puzzles? Wish you good luck and looking forward to new chapters! Or new stories :)
I love your team's collective efforts in making wonderful adventures for extraordinary fans. Keep up the stellar game development and now with both Hotel and Roots I look forward to the Rusty Lake universe!
What an amazing game! Truly. Rusty Lake games never fail to amaze and entertain. The price of the game is an absolute steal. So cheap for a marvellous piece of work. Could not fault it in any way.
Great family tree adventure! Yes, I've played all the previous games in this series and this does not disappoint. Several hours of clever and bizarre entertainment. The walkthrough came in handy for the higher levels. Praise to you all at Rusty Lake for this amazing and well constructed game.
Great & Scary Game ^_^ The puzzles were superb and you will find yourself surprise by how things related to one another. However, it was also super scary when we need to collect "the body part" or kill the character.
