How it feels
A slow, deliberate point-and-click puzzle game steeped in eerie, surreal family drama that unfolds like a macabre scrapbook.

What players say
Players love this entry as the darkest, most lore-rich chapter in the Rusty Lake series, following a family tree across generations. The puzzles are split into many short levels, but some are so obtuse that players often need a guide. Opinions are split on whether it is the best or just solid, and many recommend playing earlier games first.
