[autumn glen]

Do I not deserve food? D;

[urban yarrow]

I gave you the one with the shrimp. Lmao

[autumn glen]

a bit shrimpy perhaps

[urban yarrow]

I'm kinda curious though, is your office actually like that?
Or was this background just used for this game?

[zealous oxide]

It's close to it

You can check the Intern Film to see how the Office looks like

https://youtu.be/mFnqdfy-Bnc?si=zbqj9FqenFhhuE9e

[urban yarrow]

Haha true, i avoided watching it in case the spoilt the game for myself. ^^

[urban yarrow]

Lmao, for sure. Comes late eats toastie, and disappears as soon as the cake shows up.

Lmao, also very suspicious that he had the fridge door handle, which he just happened to pick up. 👀

[autumn glen]

I "found" it, don't worry about it

[urban yarrow]

And how come no toastie for the interns huh.

Made me do everything, and not even a toastie, no wonder I'm a corrupted soul in the picture.

The Past Within is the only co-op game by Rusty Lake so far. But you can try playing other single player games by the studio together too! It’s a fun way to play em and there are a lot of them, you can find a list and a recommended order in #📚｜resources . There’s also a tabletop game by Rusty Lake, you can learn more here: #🤔｜how-to-play message

For other games for 2 people in general: Tick Tock: A Tale for Two, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Operation: Tango, Portal 2, It Takes Two, We Were Here Together, How 2 Escape, Parallel Experiment

For the MRMS Giveaway please do keep in mind the phrasing in the form: The winners will be contacted in the months after the contest ends. I realise everyone's excited to know if they've won or not but it may take us some time to get to everyone!

[sharp dagger]

Uhm what's this game

I joined this server becuase of my friend's suggestion

[daring plaza]

This server is for Rusty Lake and their games. Most of their games are point and click puzzle games.
(If you want to learn more, you can check #✅｜rules and #📚｜resources )

[dapper tundra]

Lowk what would happen if I call the number on the website, like is it part of the game or nah

I tried to dial it on the phone in the office, but nothing happened

[zealous oxide]

Which number?

[dapper tundra]

On the ||mentalhealth and fishing website||

[zealous oxide]

The websites are past args, so they aren't related to Mr Rabbit's game

But there's a phonenumber in the game that you need to call to get a card

how bad is this one compared to ub?

by bad i mean depressing, not as in 'bad game'

[daring plaza]

In my opinion, it's not depressing. So, it's less depressing than ub.

[vast pumice]

that would be surprisngi fits not depressive at all

[daring plaza]

It's for celebrating 10th anniversary of RL, so no depression

[blazing cosmos]

I won’t lie to you, after I that I’ve been kinda hoping on a game that focused even more on Caroline and the rose too!
MRMS also reminded me a bit of the theater one. This is a good thing.

My one and only “complaint” was that the supporter pack only has one decoration so they don’t match and I wanted to make them match (on different walls I mean) or change it back to the wall I wanted 😭 I didn’t know it was a “one use” type of thing

If there's no option, would you be willing to send a screenshot?

[elfin oxide]

Just a small taste 😉

[low olive]

I'd say sly cats is more accurate

[zealous oxide]

I think you can write a review to it via your library

[low olive]

great point......

[elfin oxide]

I think yiou can only leave demo reviews on the demo page I linked

[serene prairie]

I see it now, I was looking on my desktop steam and on browser it wasnt logged in. Im going to leave a reviw

[zinc lagoon]

||Man, the funniest part of the demo is that I had to feed Aldous like he is a baby. Get it? Because he said, “Feed me.”||

[elfin oxide]

Thank you! Glad that's resolved

|| hahaha also the hand freaked me out so much ||

[zinc lagoon]

Wait, is the demo the exact same as gamescom?

[elfin oxide]

I can confirm that it is not, although it's close. Anyone who was at Gamescom can talk about it if they want!

[autumn glen]

I personally really wasn't sure what to think about || the sound effect || im glad it works well!

[zealous oxide]

Not the exact same ;)

[mystic coral]

his flappy ears are adorable

[zinc lagoon]

Any differences?

[blazing jasper]

Will the demo be released on google play anytime soon??? 😭

[neon ice]

Omg I just realised something with the house design...

[wide fractal]

oh my god i literally forgot how to get the thyme 😭🙏

we love the hand!!!

[neon ice]

It simply can't escape this franchise

[wide fractal]

same !!

[mystic coral]

same couldn't get enough 😆😆

[toxic creek]

am I the only one experiencing lag?

[neon ice]

wouldn't ||this lead to another room, upstairs?||

[elfin oxide]

If you did experience a bug or lag, feel free to mention this in #🐎｜sotl-feedback with your hardware

[toxic creek]

too lazy but I'll keep it in mind

as for bugs no

idk if clicking too fast in the game introduction is considered a bug or not

[elfin oxide]

I don't think it is, unless it appeared buggy to you? Like I said, feel free to describe the issue

[toxic creek]

"you can get out now" dialogue you can leave without it appearing on screen as a subtitle

[elfin oxide]

If it's broken, it can still be fixed. This is just a demo

[limber saffron]

Demo is great
I don't know why it said 30 minutes when it only took a little over half of that
Also
Are we gonna learn about ||Alexandra Vanderboom|| in the full game ?

[proven birch]

It said 15-30 mins tbf

[elfin oxide]

It said 15-30 😉
Some people are much faster than others

[zealous oxide]

||Maybe the attic||

[elfin oxide]

And I cannot confirm or deny anything

[limber saffron]

I'm not fast though
But I think it's becouse I played most of the other game before

[limber saffron]

Okay

[elfin oxide]

Practice makes perfect!

[toxic creek]

the "I guess that goes there" intuition coming in handy

[neon ice]

The dif between ||how skinny Aldous is compared to William|| is wow

[wide fractal]

wait do we know which one is the older one?

[neon ice]

hm

[mystic coral]

||intersting addition to the family she must be james's mom cant wait to see the dynamic between the siblings||

[mystic coral]

||i'm assuming aldous since he is master of the house||

[elfin oxide]

Spoiler tag your images!

You can talk about the things you find, but make sure you don't just spoil your fellow fans 😄

[exotic scroll]

xd, my bad

[elfin oxide]

|| before and after words to spoiler tag them, and for images you click on the eye icon.
There's a helpful thread in #1425769608996192336 too

[zealous oxide]

Seems like the Maid voice actress also dubbed many anime

[paper jetty]

Is it steam only

[elfin oxide]

Videl ❤️

[mystic coral]

||i'm just realising the name of the game

my theory if anyone interested:
the name servant of the lake not the house as our character is currently doing so some additional enlightenment will happen in the house beside mr.crow obv im so excited to find out who we are||

[daring plaza]

Yes, for now

[elfin oxide]

This demo is Steam only, yes. The full game will also be available on IOS and Android

[paper jetty]

Can't wait

[neon ice]

when does that prologue happen in roots?

[sage cradle]

||Im interested in who is Alexandra Vanderboom?||

[neon ice]

The one with the brothers at the start of the game

[zealous oxide]

We also have the #945320126608179231 if anyone wants to theorize without having to use spoilers

me tooo

[zealous oxide]

[pseudo dust]

okay so I have a theory on who we could be and I have 0 proof but hear me out.

||We play as Mr.Toad or Mr.Bat my only of "why do you think its them?" well we have seen Harvey, so i doubt its him/her/them.So it could be.||

[elfin oxide]

Please use spoiler tags! || before and after

||You're trying to trap the bug in place so you can squash it. Block its paths with the berries.||

[pseudo cloak]

I get it.Thank you!

[elfin oxide]

Also, in general: Feel free to ask questions in #1425769608996192336

[naive cypress]

||is it just me or is this starting to look like a reenactment of hotel?||

that's just the vibe i got

[zealous oxide]

Kill Aldous

[pseudo dust]

I'm more curious what that ||castle ||in the background is

[naive cypress]

||i was more thinking about these mysterious "guests"... it would be crazy to see the eilanders again||

[naive cypress]

wait where

i'm kinda blind i suppose

[pseudo dust]

you see it at the end scene

[naive cypress]

must have missed it haha, good reason to replay

[zealous oxide]

The painting can also be seen in #📯｜rl-announcements message

[naive cypress]

||that's for the medieval times prequel called kingdom of the lake||

[dry oracle]

Ok, where's the hidden shit

[pseudo cloak]

I think there must something hidden in the contract

[dry oracle]

Maybe

[elfin oxide]

You can talk to each other about any "hidden shit", but make sure to spoiler tag everything!

[dry oracle]

That's why I started with a wide "where", I mean come on it's an RL demo. There's an extra room somewhere.

Or something, I'm just saying that based on experience

[zealous oxide]

I think the demo is the first "game" to have ||no corrupted soul||

[pseudo cloak]

Im sorry but how I tag things? Im not familiar with discord

[dim parrot]

||text||

you can do this to do ||this||

[autumn glen]

#1426184205787987998 message we have an extensive spoiler how to linked here too

[dim parrot]

not sure if its just me but for me it says #unknown, may i know what its called?

[pseudo cloak]

I see.thanks.

[autumn glen]

O strange. you should be able to click it in id:customize

[dim parrot]

oh nvm i see it now

[pseudo cloak]

it says #unkown too

[elfin oxide]

It's a thread in #1425769608996192336

[dim parrot]

yeah i see it now, maybe it was wifi

[elfin oxide]

😄

[dim parrot]

thanks tho

[eternal whale]

||how am i supposed to clean his ear?||

[eternal whale]

their sister? tho we never saw her before.

[daring plaza]

||Look at the clothes. There is another thing||

[eternal whale]

||some new characters||, now THIS is getting interesting

[eternal whale]

[pseudo cloak]

||so the hand near the bedroom , it just give us a mouse and nothing? we cant do anything with it or I missed something?||

||I mean, it`s kept stretching his (or her) hand out||

[outer bolt]

||Idk, i tried to give it everything i had but it didn't do anything, but i know i can set on the candle on the top right of the room with the hand (but idk what it can be for ;-;)||

[eternal whale]

ig we cannot. i tried but nothing really happened.

[wanton hornet]

|| Are there any secrets to the game or is it straight forward, I couldnt find anything weird on my playthrough :)||

[sturdy grove]

|| seems like it yeah, I couldn't find what to do with it. Maybe you can give it something after you leave the room ||

[eternal whale]

||i'll start replaying it again in like a minute or two, so we can search for some weird stuff.||

[pseudo cloak]

||could the candle make something different to the hand?||

[eternal whale]

but we ALL know, that almost all of this game is, in fact, a load of weird stuff. just not weird enough for us. 😉

[outer bolt]

||Idk i checked the hand after and nothing changed ||

[wanton hornet]

true hahah

[naive cypress]

||perhaps there's someone in the house who would like to have it||

[eternal whale]

||but fr, who is Alexandra? could she be like named in any other game..?||

||have we saw her name? like, once? somewhere???||

[naive cypress]

as far as i remember it's the first time we get her name

[sturdy grove]

yeah this is the first time

[naive cypress]

but trust me when i say she is ticket lady

[eternal whale]

from where?

[naive cypress]

UB

[eternal whale]

OH. MAYBE, HAHAHA.

i'll blow up if you're right

[naive cypress]

and they are both mr. bat too

[eternal whale]

that's oddly specific

[naive cypress]

just watch the magic happen

[elfin oxide]

Two quick reminders in chat:

Otherwise, feel free to keep talking 😄

[eternal whale]

f i didn't even think of it

actually

[sturdy grove]

Pretty sure i left the first review lol feels good

[elfin oxide]

Thank you! 😄

[wanton hornet]

|| i think shes the lafy from theatre ||

[eternal whale]

||wasn't she, like, the first Lady of the Lake or stuff?||

i still think that some of things that i know about rl games are just my dreams

so i am NOT SO SURE if the things that i talk about are even relevant to the games

[naive cypress]

as mr. owl i can confirm i planted everything in your dreams so it's all canon

[eternal whale]

okay, well, then my take there is real

i actually think that you're right

like

||is there any unknown women in the game besides the ticket lady?||

||or okay, maybe it is a new character. Harvy's friend? a bird-human too?||

[naive cypress]

there's the beggar technically

which i have been saying is the eilander grandma

oh not in the new game

not that we've seen so far

[eternal whale]

margareth?

[naive cypress]

that is her name, yes

but she's from the white door

[eternal whale]

yeah

and ig she lived a long time before Vanderboom family

||but, again, she can easily be like one of Harvey's friends or stuff.||

like

um

||The bodhisattva too?||

cuz yk Harvey is all over the RL games. and i can't even imagine that he's not related to his one.

absolutely.

[sturdy grove]

I think I give up on trying to find secrets lol

[outer bolt]

same T.T

[daring plaza]

You can play the demo on Steam

[elfin oxide]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/ 😄

Feel free to talk about non RL things in #🛖｜the-cabin

[tidal sand]

I can find the site but it doesnt let me play it anywhere

[elfin oxide]

Just in case: Did you click on the link I send?

[sturdy grove]

||something I noticed that might be nothing but when pressing william's portrait it almost seems like the audio is dots and dashes in morse code, I don't know morse code though ||

[elfin oxide]

There should be a big green demo button+ a smaller Download Demo button on the right side. Either should work

[naive cypress]

there should be a download demo button

i have been predicted

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1244083301367681105/1284521307047727196/dancing_fungus.gif

[tidal sand]

Okay ill try

[elfin oxide]

If that link doesn't work, try this one: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3636770/Servant_of_the_Lake/

For anyone who wants to leave a review: you can ONLY leave demo reviews on the demo pages. if the link URL doesn't mention the demo, you won't be able to leave a review. That's why I keep posting the other link 😄

[tidal sand]

There is an big green button that says play servant of the lake but when i click it nothing happens

[elfin oxide]

Are you in browser or in the Steam app?

[tidal sand]

Browser

[elfin oxide]

Could you try going to the Steam store in the app?

[tidal sand]

Ill download it

[elfin oxide]

I hope it works for you!

[tidal sand]

Thanks!!

What do i do? The green button doesnt do anything

[elfin oxide]

It's apparently already in your library?

[tidal sand]

It doesnt show anything in my library

[elfin oxide]

Just to clarify: it doesn't show up in your library on your computer/steam deck?

[tidal sand]

Im doing this with my phone, do i need a computer?

[elfin oxide]

You usually need a computer to play Steam games, yep

The full game will come to IOS and Android, but the demo is Steam only.

[tidal sand]

Ohhh sorry i didnt know that ill try on my computerr

[elfin oxide]

I know you can stream Steam games to phones but I think you'd still need to use a computer for that. I'm no expert though.

[elfin oxide]

Good luck! And feel free to ask further questions 😄

[tidal sand]

Okayy thanks

number go up?

stupendium reference ❤️‍🔥

[elfin oxide]

Quick reminder that that's also the link you need to leave a review on the demo 😄

It's already wonderful to see people's responses and the game isn't even out yet!

[naive cypress]

another thing i'd like to mention is that the little sting for every new "mission" is great, every time it plays it just makes me nervous in the best way possible

[rugged hedge]

Salutations, I seem to have come to an issue, I downloaded the game, but when I open it, I'm met with whiteness (yes I tried reinstalling). I can click around, but that's about it, am I missing something or..?

[autumn glen]

Ah the old classic.

What are you playing on?

[rugged hedge]

PC, windows 11

[autumn glen]

This is from The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show, but the same principles apply:
We have two possible solutions:

1. If you have Bitdefender/Windows Security, then you will need to open it up. Once you open up Bitdefender/Windows Security you should see a notifications tab on the bottom left. Next, you will want to view the notifications and you should see a message saying that an application access was blocked. Click on view application and then it will take you to a list of applications that may have been blocked. Look for The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show and then click on the gray oval to the right. It should change to a blue oval with a check mark next to it. That means you should now have access. Restart the game and you should have access.

2. Some times the game/app also needs access to controlled folders.
   A few example steps for Windows Security

• Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.
• Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings.
• Under Controlled folder access, select Manage Controlled folder access.
• Switch the Controlled folder access setting to On or Off.

[rugged hedge]

I see, I'll look into it, thank you very much

:D

[dusk sedge]

||yes, a tiny one||

[autumn glen]

[rugged hedge]

thank you very much for the help, I sure love Windows

I love Microsoft sooooooo much

[neon ice]

Where though?

I clicked everywhere in the house

[dusk sedge]

is it too much to ask for a little hint? mostly because i don't even know what i'm looking for here

oh wait

||is it about the candles?||

imma try

[fair yarrow]

That was so great, not sure i completed it but i’m still excited for the full game!

fun little detail i noticed:|| the wallpaper, first off is reminiscent of the paradox one, and second, it has cubes in it 👀 ||

[tidal sand]

It doesnt work

[elfin oxide]

Is the game not visible in your library on a computer? What about the download button?

[dusk sedge]

||oh yeah i loved the wallpaper at the start||

[tidal sand]

Idk what i just did but my screen went black for a second and then the game showed up

[naive cypress]

||twin have you entered the estate||

[dusk sedge]

||ah i noticed it on the start screen before you even press "start game". I love the moth in it||

[naive cypress]

mof

AAAAHHH I'M GONNA GO INSANE ||I NEED TO FIND THE EASTER EGG JGURHFDSBG||

[naive cypress]

||just one little thing: is it outside or inside the house?||

[fair yarrow]

Done! Took a sec to work out how to do it, haha

[autumn glen]

Thank you!

[dusk sedge]

am i the only one that ||tried to cut his throat and shave his eyebrows and moustache? ||

[elfin oxide]

So violent

[dusk sedge]

||i also tried to shave the crow ||

[naive cypress]

we're not playing hotel buddy

[dusk sedge]

hey its rusty lake.. besides ||he has a lot to answer for.. i am only trying to change the past in true rusty lake fashion||

[elfin oxide]

But that would cause a... ||Paradox!||

You cannot escape, that already exists!

[dusk sedge]

or does it?

[naive cypress]

it doesn't

but it does

and yet

it doesn't not do

[zealous oxide]

||Check his clothes at the right||

[elfin oxide]

Please make sure to spoiler tag spoilers! || before and after the text

[tidal sand]

||What abt the porrige blueberry thing i havent slept i have no idea how that works||

[elfin oxide]

Please edit your message to include spoiler tags
As for the answer: ||You're trying to trap the bug by blocking off its paths with the berries||

[tidal sand]

How do i include spoiler tags

[elfin oxide]

|| before and after the text you want to blackout. Same button as \

|| because it's twice before and twice after, not just |

[tidal sand]

|| Okay ill try with this message ||

[last solstice]

Well, I didn't try to shave his eyebrows...

[elfin oxide]

Yay, you figured it out! Now please edit your other message

😄

Quick reminder to anyone who's already finished the demo that reviews really help, so here's the link to the demo page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/

Steam

Servant of the Lake Demo

Welcome to the Servant of the Lake demo, a short preview of what’s to be expected of you as a servant to the infamous Vanderboom family! Visitors are arriving soon, and you are meant to start your housekeeping duties immediately!

There's a long weekend ahead, but for now, solve the puzzles needed to fulfil your first assignments, which incl…

▶ Play video

Demos work a bit differently on Steam, so you generally need this link to be able to review the game. We're on Very Positive, let's get it to Overwhelming! 😄

[dusk sedge]

oh yeah i also tried ||to cut off his ear before it happened accidentally because arles||

[last solstice]

So did I.

[last solstice]

I used the link, but I still can't figure out how to leave a review.

[elfin oxide]

There should be a big block here that lets you type

For me, it shows this because I've already posted a review (quick reminder I'm not a dev, just a mod/fan)

[boreal atlas]

Just finished the demo 🫡

[elfin oxide]

I hope you enjoyed it! If you're willing, it'd be great if you'd left a review here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/
If you want to share any feedback, you can do so in #🐎｜sotl-feedback 😄

[last solstice]

This is what I see:

[elfin oxide]

Just to check, this is what you see if you click this link? https://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/

[last solstice]

yes

[elfin oxide]

Hmm

[naive cypress]

maybe try to check it from the app

[vagrant yacht]

I need to draw her

[elfin oxide]

Is your account Limited? One of the things you need to do is "You will need to spend at least $5.00 USD within the Steam store." to leave reviews

[last solstice]

I did try through the app as well, but no option to review there either.

[last solstice]

That must be it. This is my first time using Steam.

[elfin oxide]

Alright, then it's possible Steam just doesn't realize you're a real person yet
Thank you for trying, though!

[last solstice]

Well, loved the demo though!

[elfin oxide]

I'm glad to hear 😄 If you want to share your feedback anyway, you're welcome to do so in #🐎｜sotl-feedback

[boreal atlas]

Just left a review!! 🫡

[elfin oxide]

Thank you!

I know Steam updates reviews in batches but I keep looking at the number lol

We went from Positive to Very Positive, so let's get to Overwhelmingly Positive

[somber dragon]

did someone find any easter egg?

i mean, ||you can light a candle, maybe that can lead to something||

[boreal atlas]

I was thinking the same thing fr because I was like that had to be something

[dusk sedge]

||there is something but its not that. I cant really give a hint without giving it away though.. except to say to watch closely||

[somber dragon]

||is it a puzzle secret or just a visual tho?||

[dusk sedge]

||why not both ||

[somber dragon]

fair enough 🤔

i'll ask you if i don't find it

[zealous oxide]

From all my replays, I still haven't ||properly signed the contract a single time lol. I just do some random lines every time||

[tulip cave]

the text on this note is glitchy when closing it

just a little bug

[dusk sedge]

||I really dont want to give it away because its quite simple if you watch something closely||

[somber dragon]

SAME

[autumn glen]

We're aware of this, thank you!

[summer cedar]

Guys I'm about to cry because I can't even get past the first puzzle - cups in the window. Have I lost brain cells since the last game? 😂 Would love help, please?!

[glad crag]

Y’all I feel so stupid lmao- the vegtables in paradise? Easy. The dominos- simple if time consuming- but what on earth do I do with these ||blue berries|| 😞

[autumn glen]

Please mind your spoiler tags, y'all!

We also have a help channel: #1425769608996192336

[somber dragon]

Pay attention!

||maybe you're missing something!|| @summer cedar

[elfin oxide]

||Search around for more cups first, before trying anything else||

[elfin oxide]

||You're trying to trap the bug by blocking its paths!||

[summer cedar]

OMG, just got it! My brains kicked in LOL

[elfin oxide]

Also, quick reminder that we do have a help channel 😄 #1425769608996192336

[elfin oxide]

Cheers!

[wide goblet]

I keep getting stuck at opening the game, it's just a white screen and I've waited for a few minutes, and when I touch my touchpad it still have the touch effect(?). Is this a bug or is it just my laptop being rebelious?

[glad crag]

I figured that much I just don’t get it- ||it just walked through a blueberry||

[autumn glen]

what device are you playing on?

[wide goblet]

I'm playing on an asus laptop, it's window 10 if that helps

[glad crag]

||Oh never mind I got it- it wanted me to move it one over lol||

[autumn glen]

it does indeed

We have two possible solutions:

1. If you have Bitdefender/Windows Security, then you will need to open it up. Once you open up Bitdefender/Windows Security you should see a notifications tab on the bottom left. Next, you will want to view the notifications and you should see a message saying that an application access was blocked. Click on view application and then it will take you to a list of applications that may have been blocked. Look for Servant of the Lake and then click on the gray oval to the right. It should change to a blue oval with a check mark next to it. That means you should now have access. Restart the game and you should have access.

2. Some times the game/app also needs access to controlled folders.
   A few example steps for Windows Security

• Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.
• Under Virus & threat protection settings, select Manage settings.
• Under Controlled folder access, select Manage Controlled folder access.
• Switch the Controlled folder access setting to On or Off.

[wide goblet]

Thank you! I'll try both and updated more later 🦅💗

[autumn glen]

Please do!

[wide goblet]

The first option worked! It was because of my Window security blocking access. Thank you very much for your help 🦅💗‼️

[autumn glen]

Perfect, enjoy!

[somber dragon]

maybe this means something?

@dusk sedge is the secret before or after this

[meager sundial]

I was doing great until it legit stopped accepting the input and said 'good enough'

I guess ||if my character gets in trouble I could always say the signature was forged|| 😂 😂

[broken fog]

Hey guys, I just passed the demo of this.

It's the fimilar taste of Rusty Lake, and I'm looking forward to the full experience!

[daring plaza]

Glad you enjoy it! Feel free to leave the feedback in #🐎｜sotl-feedback or leave the review on Steam

[elfin oxide]

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it!

And yes, I'm resharing the Steam Demo link again, because leaving a review on the normal page for a demo isn't possible: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/

Please spoiler tag images from the demo

[open sage]

just finished the demo there now (will be waiting now wanting the full game so bad arggh)

[elfin oxide]

The full game is coming
Eventually XD
May I ask you to leave a review on Steam?https://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/

[broken fog]

I've played all Rusty Lake and Cube Escape games

[open sage]

oh yes of course

[elfin oxide]

[elfin oxide]

Glad you're back for more!

[broken fog]

This was great

[plain latch]

||Where can I find the spoon?||

[elfin oxide]

Please spoiler tag spoilers! We also have a help channel #1425769608996192336

[plain latch]

My bad 🧍‍♂️

[elfin oxide]

Thank you!

[remote ledge]

loved!!! but one try again, didnt find got the eastereggs

[uneven acorn]

While studying the demo, I decided to press everything. ||I thought I could set fire to the painting in the kitchen.|| Ultimately, I discovered that holding down the back arrow and moving the cursor away causes the game area to shrink slightly. If only it would make a difference in the game. (Written with a translator)

[broken fog]

Oh yeah we can not leak the stories to players haven't played before

[elfin oxide]

We want people to be able to share their experiences and hunt for easter eggs or whatever they want to together, but it's no fun if people get instantly spoiled when they open the channel

[open sage]

taking puzzle out of puzzlesolving 😖

[broken fog]

Yeah I tried to avoid watching walkthrough lol

[open sage]

yes i came home from school today and instantly went to play the game without checking anything!

[elfin oxide]

It's normal to get stuck once in a while (the brainfarts get us all in time), but we try to make sure that only the people asking for help get spoiled

[smoky thorn]

||what the hell kind of noises is Aldous making when you feed him porridge ||

[open sage]

||me turning the room inside out trying to find a cloth||

[zealous oxide]

||That's how he likes his porridge||

[elfin oxide]

I had the exact same experience like
I assumed it was ||a handkerchief meant for the outfit, not a part of the other puzzle lol||

[zealous oxide]

Btw I noticed that ||you dont have to clean the insect's blood from his porridge to progress, so you can just leave it there >:)||

[open sage]

||NO LITERALLY i was like toying with the clothes knowing it would be for a later part of the routine||

[open sage]

||iron in his diet it keeps him young||

[meager sundial]

Literally him

[naive cypress]

game theory aldous is mr. crow

[meager sundial]

My intrusive thoughts were: ||...could I put the mouse into the breakfast?..|| Didn't act on them though

[zealous oxide]

☝️

[open sage]

what if you're onto something..

[naive cypress]

who knows

me

because i'm mr. owl

[open sage]

?!?

[naive cypress]

yes

[full lichen]

I painfully must wait to play until my little sister goes to bed tonight or she goes upstairs lol.

Le sighhhhh

[elfin oxide]

Good luck surviving!

[full lichen]

[nova bronze]

[uncut prairie]

II think I'm stuck at ||the exercise part, I tried the sequence in the video in the announcement but I think I'm missing something, could I have a little help ?||
Thans in advance.

[dry oracle]

I didn't know you could

[dry oracle]

Check ||the wooden statue||

[nova bronze]

me neither but honestly I wouldn't have anyway lmao

[uncut prairie]

||Thank youuuuuuu||

[lost silo]

I wish, I could play the demo, I only have Android and the demo seems to be for windows and apple only 🥲

[dry oracle]

Damn

[autumn glen]

yes, for now its only available through Steam.

[elfin oxide]

Don't worry though, because the full game will be on Android 😄 (and IOS)

[lost silo]

☺I know the game will be awesome like the rest of the series

[hearty minnow]

I've just finished the demo, I can't wait for the full release! It's very exciting to get to learn more about the Vanderbooms 👀

[naive cypress]

vanderboobs

[lost silo]

SOTL will be free or paying?

[elfin oxide]

SOTL will be a premium game, so paid

[elfin oxide]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! If you'd like, we'd love it if you left a reviewhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/

It really helps

[lost silo]

Oh, ok
I would have watched the guide anyway
I love all the games, just can not afford now because I am a broke 17 year old 🥲

[elfin oxide]

Someday you'll be in a position to buy fun games for yourself! And if it helps, RL games tend to be pretty cheap anyway

[lost silo]

Yes, I know
And I wanna support you guys too
You guys put a lot of effort and I am content with the free instalments like Mr. Rabbit's Magic Show, till I can buy the games of course ☺

[elfin oxide]

The fact you're having fun is a win 😄

[wide goblet]

||You can clean it =))))???||

[frail salmon]

okay did anything hide or im just too hype

[iron sandal]

just finished the demo! Hyped!

[frank sage]

|| do you guys like my signature? ||

I can't wait for the game to come out

[daring plaza]

Glad you enjoyed the demo! Feel free to leave the feedback in #🐎｜sotl-feedback or leave the review on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/). It helps the developers a lot

[iron sandal]

I'll do!

[twilit ledge]

wait was i supposed to? i didn’t know you could

does anything special happen when you feed the horse?

[daring plaza]

||You can do the next things.|| Also please use spoiler tag (put || in front of the word/the sentence and next to)

[elfin oxide]

To add to that:
||You don't have to remove the blood, and feeding the horse is a part of progression. You pay the coachman and you feed the horse||

[toxic spindle]

Re: ||the bug blood in the bowl|| - I tried in a second playthrough and ||you actually can't remove it anyway||

[naive cypress]

we all seem to be ignoring that the demo gifted us with one of the hardest reaction images in history:

[quaint fjord]

Fun demo! Now wait for the guests to arrive
