I find it hard to compare this game to other Rusty Lake titles...
It feels like the focus of this game has been on the new dimension of gameplay like 3D elements and "multiplayer".
There are some familiar faces, but I am somewhat missing the depth and atmosphere that previous titles have offered.

Would I recommend this game? Definitely! Be aware that it is different and that playing it alone is not an option. But we had a great time playing it.

Couldn't get the multiplayer working at all...
The game might be fun, but as long as the configuration to get the multiplayer working is so clunky and, well... not working at all, I cannot recommend the game to anyone who wants to play with friends.
Went through all the troubleshooting steps that we found online in various sources together. At some point it started working for him, but not on my PC.

If you're looking for a well made strategy game to play by yourself, this one might be for you.

Very cute small game that teaches a lot about the nature that surounds us.
It is a perfect game for a rainy Sunday afternoon, wrapped in a warm blanket and with a cup of hot tea (some kind of forest related tea of course).

Very enjoyable hidden object game with some stunning art. It has a cozy and relaxing atmosphere with nature sounds and great colors. I actually enjoy playing this game after a hard day at work. It is by far not as easy as I would have imagined it to be;)

Two teenagers, one trapped in absurd traditions and the other one trapped in a fluffy cotton candy world set up by his overly caring mother where nothing exciting ever happens. The player is able to switch freely between these two stories that will come together at a later point in the game (so don’t wonder in the start if these two completely different stories are even connected in any kinda way). Broken Age is a decent game with an interesting story. The art style is pretty awesome, and the voice acting is just amazing (just have a look at the cast, there are some pretty famous names in there). The difficulty level of the puzzles differs a lot. In the start of the game everything was quite straight forward, but in the second half of the game it gets difficult. In this case it actually means just difficult and not frustrating. The puzzle design is still pretty smart, and it gave me a real lift whenever I finally solved one. I had a really good time playing this game and I would definitely recommend it to you.

Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today was an enjoyable point and click adventure. There is not much to complain about. The post-apocalyptic story, the animation style, the characters, the soundtrack, just everything in this game works together so well that it sometimes felt like watching an animated movie. It was pretty fun to hunt down the humorous achievements in this game. Most of them are not story related and you only get them for using objects in a wrong way.
Unfortunately, the flashback cutscenes got a but annoying after being forced to watch them a third time and also the fact that the protagonist still gets so excited about it after seeing it a fifth time felt unrealistic. Despite of that, there is nothing to complain. I can definitely recommend this game to you. Especially, when it’s on sale Dead Synchronicity is a must-have.

After finishing Botanicula I have to admit that I loved it! The art style of the game is just mesmerizing. The sounds are amusing, and the characters are lovely which generates a captivating atmosphere throughout the whole game. Even though, Botanicula lacks a solid storyline I didn’t miss it at all. There’s so much to discover in this dreamy world that I didn’t even realize how much time has already passed. Discovery is the keyword for this game. There are more than 50 achievements, and you’re able to touch nearly everything on the screen. I highly recommend this game if you feel like you need some time to forget the real world out there.

An atmospheric Point & Click game whose mysterious story is inspired by Nordic folklore. The whole setup of the game is just amazing. The adorable and the more or the less frightening creatures appearing in the story, the dark atmosphere, and the enchanting voice of the narrator. It felt more like experiencing a story in a world full of myths than playing a videogame. I enjoyed the time I was playing the game.

A rather short point & click game in a stunning art style. The story itself is quite confusing, or to say in other words “Kafkaesque”. The design of the puzzles is quite smart, but the hint system is a bit frustrating. After some time, clicking on the “hint” button will show you the solution of the puzzle. I’d prefer to see just the first hint, and after that deciding myself if and when I want to see the solution to the puzzle. However, I enjoyed the time I spend playing this game. I would definitely recommend this game, but not for the full price, because it took not even 3h for me to play it through.

One of the best point & click games here on Steam. The design of the different characters is just amazing and some of them are quite creepy. By providing a mysterious wide story, this game shed some light in how the different cube escape games are connected.
The only negative thing to say is, that I found no other way to solve some of the puzzles in the end of the game than by trial and error. Anyway, I can highly recommend this game to everyone who is into disturbing and creepy storylines and puzzle games!
