Weekly Highlight

Choice can be overwhelming, but the Play Editors are here each week to help you discover some of the freshest titles on Play. Could our newest pick be your next favorite game? Read on to find out.

Venture into this cryptic point-and-click adventure and experience the renowned eeriness of the Rusty Lake universe. Shuffle through seven metro stations, each representing a different stage of a young woman’s life and her turbulent memories as you piece together the hazy details of her past and purge the darkness that haunts her every twist and turn.

Solving puzzles are key to your progress; keep your eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary while playing. Even something as small as a crack in the wall can unravel an entire storyline, so don’t be afraid to explore – even if that means trying ridiculous item combinations along the way, or backtracking to a previous station.

Underground Blossom’s hand-drawn art style is just peculiar enough to unnerve you without being able to pinpoint exactly why. Atmospheric tension is a signature element of the Rusty Lake franchise, and this latest installment proves they have it down to a science.

Adding to the ambiance is a captivating soundtrack that’s absolutely worth grabbing your earbuds for. The haunting, moody underscore goes a long way in setting up a wonderfully disquieting atmosphere – haunting piano melodies and crescendoing cello solos are woven in masterfully to keep you at the edge of your seat and fully immersed in this unsettling world.

We won’t spoil the surprise for you, but stick around after the credits roll: you may just find a little something special waiting for you. If you don’t want the fun to end just yet, maybe it doesn’t have to – but you’ll have to find out for yourself.

Should you find yourself wanting more context about this mysterious universe and the characters you’ll meet, there’s a whole world of mysteries for you to explore when you’re done. We highly recommend the Cube Escape series so you can go back to where it all began: with a grandfather clock, a rotary dial phone, and a surly parrot.
