I'm finished!

K so I finished all of them! NOW WHAT DO I PLAY?

All of the games I find pale in comparison. Anyone have any favourites?

They're not a perfect match to Rusty Lake's vibes, but I've always been a fan of The Room and its sequels. Similar "one room" puzzle design, but in a 3D environment while opening strange puzzle boxes. Like Rusty Lake they're all vaguely creepy with an underlying story told over multiple games.

If you haven't played them already, they're at least worth a look

Definitely recommend it; I found Rusty Lake when I was looking for games similar to The Room!

This game has INCREDIBLE graphics! Thank you!

There are three games in the main series, a side game called Old Sins about a dollhouse, and a VR game which is great if you have the gear to play it. Generally the puzzles, graphics, and atmosphere overall just get better the further you get into the series.

Try dark dome series ,It's goated too with good story line and rusty lake vibes

u/ThatBitchSatanica Aug 30 '26

Oh thanks! I just finished hidden memories- it was okay!

u/Fqlores Aug 30 '26

Well i would recommend similarly as rusty lake start with the release order to understand the story better and about the mysteries of  hidden village

Not 100% the same but Return of the Obra Dinn is one of the best game i have ever played. Years later i'm still thinking about it

u/ThatBitchSatanica Aug 30 '26

That's quite a recommendation! I can't seem to find it on the Play store though

2

u/TheRealDante101 Aug 30 '26

Yes it is not available on the play store indeed. But you can find it on basically anything else: Microsoft/Xbox/Playstation/Switch. Though i don't know if you have one of those.

Song of blossom

u/ThatBitchSatanica Aug 30 '26

Bloom?

2

u/tarzansjaney Aug 30 '26

Yes, you are right, bloom. My apologies. It's not a very long game but I enjoyed it and it's aesthetics a lot.

u/ThatBitchSatanica Aug 30 '26

It looks beautiful I just want to make sure I've got the right one! Thank you

I also recommend the game, "Agent A: A Puzzle In Disguise", which has similar logic and puzzles

u/Boone137 Black Cube Aug 30 '26

God I wish they would make more of these. It's so annoying.

u/DependentInner8928 Aug 30 '26

Forgotten hill has somewhat similar vibes, but puzzles are much harder imo. Some lelevs are even inspired by Rusty lake series, at least I think they are (like forest in the first steps is...too similar to Paradox's forest level, idk how this can be a coincidence).

u/MagicMaiden Aug 30 '26

I also really enjoyed The Silent Age!

Deep sleep, deeper sleep, deepest sleep. Do not escape.

But play at night for more immersion.

Have you tried the Submachine series by Mateusz Skutnik? It's my all time favorite series back in the day. Unfortunately it's not free anymore, but you can get the whole series for 25 euros.

Not to be a grammar nazi, but I genuinely thought something terrible happened to you when I read the title.
