Rusty Lake Hotel is a point & click puzzle adventure game that takes place in the Rusty Lake universe. A group of 5 guests have been invited to the hotel to stay and enjoy various meals made from various meats and other ingredients. Harvey, the main character, has been tasked with getting ingredients for these meals that are "to die for" if you catch my drift. And each night he will do just that.

So the basic flow of the game is start the day, feed the guests, then at night visit one of the guests rooms and kill them. You can not leave the room until they are dead. This makes the game play out sort of like an escape room puzzle title. Though in other escape room games you usually want to get out to save your own skin, hence "escape". But here you just won't leave until the job you are tasked with is finished, which is you murdering the guests.

The tone of the game is a mix of David Lynch inspired macabre and humor. And honestly it works well to keep you engaged throughout this puzzle title.

Others have mentioned the puzzles to be somewhat difficult at times, but I honestly never found that to be a problem. This is mainly since the puzzle that use hints have the hints themselves located in the rooms you are in at the time, And the solutions are quite simple if you have played other point & click adventure titles, though some may seem a little bizarre. But since the tone of the game is already bizarre, they don't feel out of place in the slightest. The only thing you need to focus on are some items you may want to grab to get certain achievements, or get the best possible meal. These are optional items and can be skipped, usually by accident, so pay close attention and experiment with your surroundings!

Overall the game is not too long, and you could easily go through it in an hour or 2 without a guide. 100%'ing it for all achievements will probably still leave you right around the 2 hour mark too if you miss anything and need to replay a section.

This is the first Rusty Lake game I have completed, and if the others are anything like this I am looking forward to trying them out.
