[harsh nebula]

The same situation happened to me, damy game icon was not visible and the game was freezing, luckily I managed to open the game.

[vapid ibex]

yeah did the icon ever return @harsh nebula ?

[harsh nebula]

Ah, I didn't pay attention to this, I wanted to play the game directly, ha ha, but I'll let you know.

[vapid ibex]

Thank you

[harsh nebula]

You're welcome, and when I just checked, it wasn't fixed. Maybe when I enter the game again, the game won't work, but everything worked fine yesterday.

[rapid harbor]

Maybe it has something to do with my antivirus software?

Because when i click on properties and see where the icon is from it tells me that its in the antivirus folder

which makes no sense to me

[faint void]

i just finished ub

[pulsar gulch]

All the positive feedback will be properly dropped in review, meanwhile there is one issue i encountered i think it's worth mentioning.
I had some issues with steam overlay - i wanted to open it, to look up how many achievements I have left, and game crashed every time I tried to do so.

Not the end of the world haha, but maybe wirth having it somewhere at the back of your head

[vapid ibex]

hey thanks for letting us know:)! we've gotten reports about this before

@pulsar gulch if you have time, could you see if the crash still occurs if the game is in windowed mode?

Ive just noticed that if my screen is smaller the crash doesn't occur

[pulsar gulch]

yeah loads halfway through then dies

[vapid ibex]

thanks for trying it out:)

[pulsar gulch]

you're welcome i guess

[unkempt charm]

What do i do now? The man has passed out and i can't leave with Mr Memory!

[vapid ibex]

Uhh, right. Can you place him back in the drawer?

[unkempt charm]

No, and neither in an empty box!

[vapid ibex]

Right, what happens if you reopen the game?

[unkempt charm]

Same situation.

[vapid ibex]

Okay... I genuinely can't remember if this has come up before!

I take it Chad's corpse doesn't take mr memory either

[unkempt charm]

No, of course. Well, first urgent bug to solve in the next update!

[vapid ibex]

Can the station be reset? Can you try the ten digit door code again to see what happens?

[unkempt charm]

Okay.

This special chapter can't be resetted, and i can use the code an infinite amount of times without a purpose.

I can only restart from the beginning.

[compact grove]

And you dont have a tape in the TV rn?

[unkempt charm]

No, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed me to search for an empty box before.

[compact grove]

If you try to set that or any other of the tapes to the tv again - nothing happens too?

[unkempt charm]

One minute.

Nothing. Now i'll try Rose's memory too.

[compact grove]

And an obviously dumb question but just to make sure: you have both of the drawers open rn, right?

[unkempt charm]

Not even that worked. Both drawers are open.

[unkempt charm]

An update. I accidentally clicked ||on the yellow envelope for the contest. I immediately got back, and he's awake now.||

[compact grove]

Ahh it might be not a bug then😅 Glad it resolved!

[unkempt charm]

I think it's annoying though that clicking the envelope has to be necessary. Here's a suggestion.

Since i'm already here, i wanted to say also that there's an error on translation. In italian, "vico" should be "vicolo", just like in the demo.

[sacred tulip]

How do I get Mr. Memory?

[jovial osprey]

did they make make 4 as IIII instead of IV on purpose?

[fathom wraith]

It's actually commonly written as IIII on clocks and watches

So I assume yes

Some interesting info on the subject if you want to google

[jovial osprey]

dang

i didnt know

amazing stuff

thx

[wraith jasper]

i finished the game but ran into a glitch. At first i was stuck at lake station with mr owl asking to find all the cubes but no way to exit and nothing to interact with. Then i restarted my device and had the options to visit all the stations but still nothing else worked differently than when i’d left them. So i reluctanctly used a walkthrough and saw that mr owl was supposed to provide a coin So i can visit all stations but have no coin and wondering if i need to restart the game now.

[vapid ibex]

We've had one report like this; they managed to get the coin after collecting all the cubes could you look into this?

Could you let us know what device and game version you're playing on?

[wraith jasper]

iOS 1.1.7

[vapid ibex]

Okay, thank you for the info

[split nova]

Hello everyone, i have suggestion about this part. I think, paper cup and the mid bottom thing ( i still can't say what is that) are not very understandable. Maybe you can change their design. Thanks for the game btw i love you guys.

[vapid ibex]

thank you for the feedback:) the mid bottom thing is a piece of gum haha

[finite nymph]

Yeah I thought it was an eraser at first, maybe precise "gum" on the wrapping ? We'd be able to figure out that the gum is gum with that.

[pulsar gulch]

I think it is down to the player - for me gum was intuitive enough, and since i enjoy coffee outside every once in a while mixing stick for it was reasonable enough

Also - lot of that bubble gum comes with tiny stripe pattern on it, so maybe it is worth considering

[dreamy flume]

all done! i love this game and i especially love playing as harvey (he's my fav )

[vapid ibex]

Thanks for the feedback, y'all:)

[hallow agate]

I also thought it was an eraser so I tried to match it with the pencil. Maybe a chewed up piece of gum would be a little more clear?

[manic nest]

I just finished the game and i can't say how much i love it!! Congrats guys, it's amazing 🤯 but I'm seeing in the comments that there is a secret level?? How do i reach it?? After passing all the stations and collecting the cubes, i ended in the Hotel and that's it. Please, can someone give me a little clue?

[noble jungle]

You might be thinking of the ARG stuff? #ub-help message

A minor thing, I thought the cube hint here meant the light spaces were the lit buttons, but easy enough to reverse and you’d probably get people interpreting that the way I did if you flipped it (interpreting the now flipped dark spaces as lit) so, I dunno.

[formal remnant]

i thought the same thing

[noble jungle]

The gum part was fine imo. Though I initially put the leaf on the cup because I thought tea (because England) and was confused for a sec and then realized the thick item was a coffee stirrer.

[echo niche]

Hey,i dont know if it was on purpose or not but on the clocks the 4 is written like IIII and not IV

[opal yarrow]

People pointed this out yesterday too, but we think it was on purpose

[gaunt quiver]

Hi, thanks for the wonderful game 🥰
Also a huge THANK YOU for Ukrainian language, a lot of my friends finally got interested in Rusty Lake games (I had been motivating them to play for a long time) 😅🥰

[vapid ibex]

Thank you for the kind words! Be sure to leave an in-store review!

[tribal bramble]

I agree with this, I wasn’t sure what a lot of these items were

[dreamy flume]

upon reflection yea the stick with the coffee cup also confused me. would a sugar packet work better?? idk ashdigisickr

[native junco]

i think through process of elimination, the remaining pairs can be found, but that's just me

[slate dust]

I wish I could erase my mind and play it again

[vapid ibex]

Thank you all for the kind words and feedback!

[edgy imp]

Game always crash when I tried to open steam tab in game.

[vapid ibex]

We're aware of this issue. A personal fix on my end is making the game screen smaller

[harsh siren]

A bit late, but UB was soooo much fun! I loved the concept and how all the stations are connected! ||Collecting all the cubes was great too.|| This is also the first RL game that I could go through without looking up solutions, so not sure if I’m getting smarter or the puzzles are being less of a stretch, either way, it was great!

[golden onyx]

Just finished the game, another brilliant Rusty Lake game. Probably the puzzles are a bit easier than before but was an enjoyable journey.

[finite nymph]

That's great ! But this channel is for feedback for the game Underground Blossom, please use the correct channels!

[plucky tusk]

Please accept my apologies

[umbral aspen]

Hi, does anyone know why the game always showed a black screen when I started it?

I really want to play it but I can't start it

[vapid ibex]

Hey! There's a few potential solutions for this

could you try this ```Disabling hardware acceleration on flash player content should fix this issue. Here are the instructions on how to solve it:

Navigate to this folder: X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Underground Blossom\META-INF\AIR
Open the application.xml with a text editor like NotePad++ for example and find the line <renderMode>direct</renderMode> change the direct to cpu, like this: <renderMode>cpu</renderMode>
Save the file, close it and then try to run the application

If this doesn't work, it could help to change the sound quality in the Windows sound settings to 16 bit 44 kHz.

[umbral aspen]

it works!

Thank you soooooo much!

[vapid ibex]

Glad to hear it:) enjoy.

[umbral aspen]

[jaunty cypress]

Such a great game that it immediately went into my top 5 favourites, the quality is immaculate, the gameplay smooth and the story just as good as the other games. A very quick and very much deserved 10/10. I love rusty lake

[vapid ibex]

Thank you very much for the kind words be sure to leave an in store review too!:)

[jaunty cypress]

Of course ! The rusty lake studio is the only studio I would blindly give a 10/10 to because of the astounding quality that you get at every game !

[heady jackal]

Hello, I'm wondering if I've found a glitch (or maybe I'm doing something wrong).

I am in the full version, at Child Lane station. The picture tiles won't flip/move at all. In the demo, they did. There is also a strange, faint static sound when I tap them - a different sound to the demo.

Any ideas?

[twilit crest]

hi and thanks for reporting this. Just to be sure, ||you did place the missing tile and you did NOT finish the puzzle? And you were able to flip them before? What happened between that time? ||

[heady jackal]

Hi @twilit crest, thank you for responding. Yes, I did add the missing tile. And you're correct, I have not been able to flip any tiles to finish the puzzle. I can't start the puzzle. There is also a strange sound when I tap on a tile. It's a faint static sound. I am in the FULL version of the game. I have also tried restarting the chapter and I'm having the same issue. In the DEMO version, I was able to flip tiles and finish the puzzle, plus the sound was very different. Thank you for your help!

[twilit crest]

In the full version you were not able to flip them at all? Not even once?

[twilit crest]

And could you please let me know what platform you are playing on? And what hardware/device you are using?

[heady jackal]

That's correct - in the full version, I have not been able to flip any tiles. Not even once.

I am on an Android - Samsung Galaxy S20.

[burnt dagger]

just finished the game, really love it and I think the overall design and puzzles really show literariness like contemporary literature (especially Bird Bridge Station and Sorrow Cross, I can really understand Laura's feeling when playing). There are new interesting puzzles and the difficulty is just okay for me. The only time I got stuck was the thief's tattoo of bird egg, it looks like a cookie or something else 🤣 After all, thank you for bringing me such wonderful experience!

[naive cedar]

Hello, good afternoon, I hope you are well. I completed the game and loved it. but I have a question, I don't really know if I should do something about this or is it a pending game that must be completed?

[vapid ibex]

@naive cedar it's for || figuring out who one of the students is||

[naive cedar]

or okay I really thought you should return it to its master and I said well I guess I'm missing that part. thanks for answering.

[fair monolith]

Really love the game, it took away all my worries and immersed me into this mysterious world again! You, guys, are the best

[vapid ibex]

Thank you for the kind words! Be sure to leave an in-store review 👀

[fair monolith]

Thanks! And now when I check the discord community once in awhile, I really loved seeing your name in the credits too. You've really been doing a lot for the community ❤️

[vapid ibex]

I try my hardest:)

[frigid crest]

Just complete UB, my second favorite RL game so far (still an ez 10/10) , great work

[burnt forge]

very nice game. The creators of this game, or even the whole franchise, who were responsible for the puzzles must have really big brain

[vapid ibex]

Thanks for the kind words you two:)

[prime horizon]

Guys, feeling so happy... Just completed the whole game, with 100% achievements. Game was super awesome

[vapid ibex]

Thanks for the kind words! be sure to leave an in store review

[quick folio]

I finished underground blossom and it was amazing I got all the achievements in the game. including some secrets. And Laura if you are reading this bob and everyone will miss you. what a beautiful game.

[dire hound]

Haha nice, @quick folio ! Don't forget to leave a review in store!

[quick folio]

Which store are you talking about?

[dire hound]

Well, store you bought the game from!

[quick folio]

Thanks for the help

[dire hound]

(aka. Steam, App Store, Google Play)

[quick folio]

Thanks

[drowsy zephyr]

I wish there is a possibility to replay each level, like hotel and paradise, now I have to reset the entire game for a certain level, I mean I could look up walkthroughs but I still think such option should be available.
I did enjoy replaying the entire game over and over, it is a great experience and marvellous game

[torn owl]

You can get all achievements post-game

[drowsy zephyr]

I meant replay the game even after I got all achievement

like the idea of underground map

[torn owl]

Ahhhh, oki

[heady jackal]

Hi, just following up on this. Should I log an issue somewhere? I'm unfortunately unable to get any further in the game. Really appreciate your help. 🙂

[feral kite]

I finished the lite version! I loved it, just bought the full game now!!

[vapid ibex]

Enjoy the full release!:)

[feral kite]

Thx!

[near sparrow]

just completed UB, Just want to say i love the game! one small problem is we don't get to see more HIGHSCHOOL LAURA she looks stunning

[feral kite]

I finished the full game as well! I totally fell in love with the game, I really recommend it!!

[blissful umbra]

||they spin so fast lol (make them even faster!)||

[harsh basin]

Unrelated but I have the same camera as Laura irl

[vapid ibex]

A message better suited for #🏡｜sotl-general , but cool!!

[harsh basin]

Thanks I’ll put it there

[crimson berry]

It's exactly the same

[blissful umbra]

||saw this at the end and made me smile||

[lapis quiver]

As a suggestion, I played UB a few times and I love it. I think one way to make the game (and future games) more entertaining if you repeat them is to make some of the puzzle solutions random, because if you play it for the first time and if you decided to come back to play it, then you already know the answers to each puzzle.

[blissful umbra]

might be difficult for walkthroughs right?

[dire hound]

@blissful umbra from different standpoint - no, for example one of the games I am still playing has a randomized puzzle solution, but that's because it's a math equation. But one of the reasons I can think of why puzzles are not randomised, is because of speedrunners

[midnight glen]

Very cool game! Love the music and the aesthetic of the different stations!
spoilers:
||One small thing I didn't like though was that there wasn't really much on School Street. I love all of the characters' designs, the hair was very unique and they look (and sound) amazing! But there didn't seem to be much puzzles other than the yearbook (which I adored, I love those types of puzzles) and the ticket machine, as compared to the other stations. Also, not much story seems to happen/be revealed here aside from Johnny stealing the photos.||
||I think it would be interesting if there was a small spin-off game / some other media (just a suggestion) about Laura in her high school era because there seems to be a lot of potential here. It wasn’t entirely clear what her relationship was to everyone else? Like, she was alone for the most part but there were only a few people actively antagonistic to her specifically and it would be interesting if it turned out that they generally thought she was decent but just didn’t actively reach out to her. Cooler if she actually did have an acquaintance (or possibly friend?). Except for Johnny, he sucks. Mostly I’m saying all this because the designs seem too good to just use only once. Also small thing I noticed in Bird Bridge (one of my favorite stations, tied with Sorrow Cross), Hank (i think that’s his name?) wasn’t included in the drawing. Does this mean something??||
||tl;dr I think it would be cool if School Street was expanded on.||
||Mentioned this before but Bird Bridge and Sorrow Cross are my favorites since they're such vibes, you know?||
Anyways, I really loved the story told by each station (especially the later ones) and the puzzles were really good so I’d give this 5 stars!
(sorry this was longer than I expected it to be)

[vapid ibex]

Thanks for the in depth feedback! we appreciate it:)

[blissful umbra]

yea makes sense!

[dreamy temple]

Hey

[umbral plover]

My favorite game, felt like Roots 2 in all the best ways. It kept some of the best things, threw away most of the bad things and added TRAINS. The only thing I miss from Roots is the not linear storytelling, but it couldn't be kept while adding TRAINS, so not much of a loss

The ||cube hunt|| was really good too

[vapid ibex]

Thank you for the kind words:)

Be sure to leave an in store review too!

[umbral plover]

I already did

[vapid ibex]

Awesome!

[torn owl]

Well, with this (mostly) being the story of Laura growing up, it's kinda linear by definition. Can't have adulthood come before she ||loses her mom||, ya know

[errant heath]

After completing the 'Music to die for' achievement I ||heard a bee, but I didn't see one||. Perhaps because I completed the 'The Future in The Past, The Past in The Future' achievement already?

[last shuttle]

omg you’re right

[last shuttle]

but i don’t know What is the achievement in “the past within”🤔

[formal remnant]

you can get all achievements in both games, i did

[tough steppe]

Hi! I absolutely loved the game And it was amazing to see how things turned out to be all connected in rl universe. ||Like, I replayed the cave and literally got goosebumps when I saw the locker key and the picture of Laura holding a camera|| and it really broke my heart ||when Bob let Laura go... he seemed that he had cried so much that his face got all puffy|| I'm going to reset and play again!

[vapid ibex]

Thank you for the kind words:)

[dusk linden]

Hi

[native heath]

Has anyone achieved all the achievements???

[bronze agate]

Yes sir! was quite the Journey, but a fun one

[hexed widget]

Haven't been in rusty lake for a while, but finally returning and hey, what a surprise to find :D

[unkempt charm]

Please, put Laura's colored eyes on the distance back. It's just a minor asset detail, but it feels so off seeing her with black eyes!

[vapid ibex]

Thanks for the feedback:)

[blissful prawn]

Hello friend scoll good

[ruby jacinth]

Hi!
Loved the game (or, first completion of it). I noticed that in one of the stations - the one where you have to ||paint red/blood on the photo of Mom to reveal the time of departure||, the hint says || 9:55 ||, but the train doesn't arrive unless you || turn the clock to 8:55 ||. Has anyone experienced this? Is it on purpose?

[vapid ibex]

Hey you missed part of the hint there

The painting should say 19;55

But thank you for the kind words!:)

[ruby jacinth]

Ah! Thank you! 😄 ❤️

[ember urchin]

Hello 😄 I love all your games, I always pre-order them on all my platforms. I enjoy playing them with my wife. unfortunately, she only speaks Greek. I can help you get translations if you want.

[thorn garden]

Idk if this is the correct place to ask for help but when i load up UB it’s just a white screen, im not sure if its because im playing in a apple product hooked up to a monitor or what

[vapid ibex]

This is the correct place!

White screen on macOS

When you can first play the game without issues but after closing the game and starting again it gives a blank or white screen. This is a permissions issue, please do the following:
Go to System & Settings > Privacy & Security > Files and Folders > Underground Blossom and make sure it has access to documents, so it should be checked.

Is this a possible solution you could try^

[thorn garden]

Omg tysm its working now (:

[odd osprey]

this game was honestly amazing and i feel bad for ||the pigeon||

[midnight bane]

I enjoyed the game but would it be possible to not make the arg elements of this game mandatory for completion in future titles, when those elements where optional it felt like neat bonus content for those that wanted more of the universe, but with it being need makes it feel really tedious

[vapid ibex]

Thank you for your feedback! why do you feel the need to complete the ARG, if I may ask?

[heavy crown]

Well, you do have to do the ARG to get all the achievements, which might be kind of confusing for some people if they were unaware of that

[vapid ibex]

I suppose, I personally wouldn't class that as a need, but it's good to get perspective on that

[midnight bane]

partly what garden said, tying some of the in game puzzle solutions to out of game recourses that are not transparently obvious on where to find can be a bit of a annoyance, and doing all of the achievements as part of the completion process is fairly common among gamers. that aside theirs a whole chunk of game locked behind it

[umbral plover]

I actually like some achievements being tied to out of game resources, but I don't like some achievements being tied to the ARG. I'm sure it was interesting, but I don't like participating in ARGs

[heavy crown]

Personally, I think I would just appreciate some sort of indication or label on the achievements that need outside information that they need outside information to get. I know they are on a separate row and everything, but it’s not very obvious what that means.

[crimson ore]

I definitely have to appreciate the lore. It’s so absolute well built inside it. And each step you go into the story you get the idea of what’s happening, Just like other RL games. And the best part about it is that every story is incredibly captivating, mysterious, and other kind of words that describe RL. I am so proud that I had found RL.

[silver sparrow]

I like how RL is trying to flesh out Laura and fill out her personal history, and I love the innovation with the train stations, and I definitely think it'll be great if RL keeps doing stuff like that. But UB is just not there yet. I feel like this was way less playable and way less mystic as the other RL games and the storytelling much less colorful.

Contains spoilers:

||In contrast, the White Door was actually very poetic, and I loved the O'Henry type ending with the Robin, and I can actually feel a profound sense of sadness at the end. There's a lot of potential in the Bob-Laura relationship in terms of storytelling, especially since Seasons and TWD already embedded an undertone of pain in the two of them. The most important thing about them, imo, is that they're not in the isolation of Rusty Lake -- they're live in the real world outside of the Lake. One could illustrate how, for instance, they don't really fit in, which is how they found each other (and a lot of players would be able to relate to that). It would've also been interesting to develop more about their relationship before presenting the breakup so that emotionally it can be more powerful.||

||Speaking of the "real" world, I feel that School Street had great potential and awesome characters, since the fact that she was going to school with terrible people and being bullied by them would be an important step towards her eventual depression.||

||I understand how hard it is to reconcile the creepy-nonchalant vibe characteristic of RL with good character-building, but RL already showed that it can be done -- just look at what an amazing character Dale Vandermeer is!||

All in all I'm still really happy to see that RL is trying out new formats and I hope RL can experiment more. I think we'd all love to see more stories and more emotional background on the characters (which would definitely provide more inspiration for fanart).

Also, we're still waiting for a Harvey face reveal :P

[vapid ibex]

Thank you for the extensive feedback:)

[signal lance]

I am almost done playing the game.

Loved the storyline, goosebump moments as always. The environment, as always, never fails to add to the creepiness so that's awesome as well.

The only potential QOL (Quality of Life) update that I have in mind is that there should be some indication against the "metro stations" if you're done collecting a cube from there. It could be just a simple white dot even (that would add to the fact that it's a metro we're in and it has "stopped" at that station already)

[signal lance]

Something like this that's hollow but then fills up with some other colour once you're done with the main story and collecting the cube (just an idea, obviously)

[vapid ibex]

Thank you for your feedback:)

[sly temple]

I loved the game, always loved the atmosphere and story line of the serie. Underground Blossom is the first one I purchased (I only played the free ones until now), I don't regret my purchase.
My only regret about this game is that I really got frustrated concerning the achievements. I almost finished everything but got stuck for a very very long time for the bonus quest, until I gave up and look the solution online and realized it was only possible to know what to do If you knew it was ARG.. If there had been hints / clues in the game to tell me the solution wasn't in the game (or maybe I missed them ?) I probably wouldn't have been so frustrated and spent so much time inspecting every millimeter of the stations haha
Overall, I enjoyed it very much, thank you for your passion and hard work ❤️

[vapid ibex]

Thank you for your extended feedback:)

[heavy crown]

The achievements that needed outside information were kind of off to the side I think, but yeah it's not immediately obvious what that means

[vapid ibex]

yeah that's the big indication for 'em:)

[heavy crown]

But I feel like if someone didn't know that there are achievements that require outside information, then it wouldn't be that obvious what the achievements being off centred meant...

[frosty saffron]

I love how the game explains a life a girl/lady by putting different periods of her life into different stations . The music is awesome ,never changed a bit. The goosebumps occur every time I visit a new station from the surprises the game gives me. And I love when the diver got me to collect the cubes, it is an enjoyable way to revisit each station and find them. After I finished the game , I have a lot of hype of what the next game will be like. Awesome game, Amazing sfx and I am very looking forward to what the next game will bring

[earnest hinge]

Ho to give feedback

[vapid ibex]

@earnest hinge on the game? Just leave it here or as a review on the store page

[earnest hinge]

Ok

Where would be better for yall

[vapid ibex]

I'm fine with either, but realistically a store review is objectively better for metrics

[limpid elbow]

This was amazing, everytime I'm going to play/watch a rusty lake game I know that I'll love it, but that one... I don't know exactly what made me so happy with UB. Maybe it's Laura's story, maybe it's ||Harvey's, or maybe it's the phase of squeezing thief's nipples||? I just know that it got me, now I think I want Laura's mug
As always, the soundtrack was perfect.
The only problem is that the game ends 😭😭

[long stirrup]

[FR]
Je viens de finir le jeu avec tout les succès ! C'était vraiment cool
Comme d'habitude la trame de l'histoire est toujours plus intense et intéressante à chaque nouveau jeu ! Les énigmes et secrets toujours à un bon niveau; et les musiques sont hyper bien !

Hello. I just finished Underground Blossom. I was amazing. I loved the graphics and the story was fascinating too. Everytime I thought it was over something new popped up. I especially loved the eating sound effect of the child at school street. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for the new game.

[meager oar]

does anyone else have all the achievements on ub unlocked

i got them all recently

[sleek ledge]

I have them all too, but I needed a bit of help on a few, it was very fun though! I'm glad I clicked the suitcase!

[eternal pewter]

well, i loved the game in every way, being it the puzzles or general story/atmosphere.
Idk if it's because the game is easier or just have a better direction, but I found the puzzles more sightreadable and fun, especially the post game (boy, how i loved hunting for the cubes)! Normally, i would do a document with a level-by-level analysis, but i'm too busy these days so maybe for the day of the lake i'll do it!

great work

Update feedback: ||The vent before the memory extractor stumped me bc I assumed I needed a screw driver for it.||

[uncut zephyr]

||You don't, you've already got an item to get the matches||

[torn owl]

......No, I just clicked with nothing selected and got that item

[vapid ibex]

@uncut zephyr I appreciate you trying to be helpful, but please be aware of when someone is asking for help and when they're simply commenting on the game.

[uncut zephyr]

I'll try to do so further

(Not sure if here or tpw feedback) ||Option to disable screen shake for the runner game||

[magic wren]

hi! Love the new update ||Not sure if I should post this here or TWP but an option to disable the screen shake when hitting an obstical on teh harvey runner would be greatly apprechated. Unfortuanlty its the type of thing that triggers certian kinds of migrains in some people. || ❤️

[magic wren]

beat me to it Efadd! 😂

[torn owl]

lol

[hushed field]

||the new station was a nice addition to the game. haven't tried tpw half of the secret but the ub part was great||

[uncut zephyr]

Indeed. ||You should definitely try the twp part||

[plucky relic]

Just loved the new update! So thankful for all the content rusty lake gives us!

[keen hemlock]

Hi
Sorry to bother you but @vapid ibex why my underground blossom is not updated and it only says I have finished under ground blossom and it's in the hotel. Do u have any idea

[vapid ibex]

@keen hemlock What platform are you playing on?

[keen hemlock]

Phone

[vapid ibex]

that's definitely updated.

I assume you're just misunderstanding how to get to the Lab

please watch the trailer we put out

[keen hemlock]

Maybe and thank you so much for fast support

[vapid ibex]

its what im here for:)

[keen hemlock]

Wait so what's this

Huh?

[vapid ibex]

something you should definitely listen to

[keen hemlock]

🤣🤣

Right

[keen hemlock]

Sorry again

[vapid ibex]

Did you watch the trailer we released @keen hemlock ?

[keen hemlock]

Completely

2 times

[vapid ibex]

Then you know what to do next

[keen hemlock]

Ok........

[torn owl]

While I understand restricting warping out of the lab during the chapter, once the time is revealed and the last room has been interacted with in a particular way (||flipping the switch to spin the cubical device||), why is warping via station map still restricted? Could we get that changed if "chapter end" is triggered?

[eternal pewter]

Well, ||i think its a design choice because of the soul "chase"||

[torn owl]

And that's why I have "once everything is done" in there

So that that has to happen first

[eternal pewter]

Makes sense

Maybe after you left it could be warped

So when you come back its normal

[torn owl]

Yeah, something like "calling the train unlocks the map"

[vernal steppe]

since the update, when i open the game all i see is a black screen no matter what i do. ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times but it just stops on a black screen. i can always hear the game but theres no visuals. i left it for 30 minutes this morning to see if it was just struggling to load but still nothing. anyone else having this problem?

[vapid ibex]

Hey Vickie! What platform are you playing the game on?

[vernal steppe]

steam

[vapid ibex]

Thanks for letting me know! Disabling hardware acceleration on flash player content should fix this issue. Here are the instructions on how to solve it:

Navigate to this folder: X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Underground Blossom Demo\META-INF\AIR
Open the application.xml with a text editor like NotePad++ for example and find the line <renderMode>direct</renderMode> change the direct to cpu, like this: <renderMode>cpu</renderMode>
Save the file, close it and then try to run the application

If this doesn't work, it could help to change the sound quality in the Windows sound settings to 16 bit 44 kHz. can you try these two fixes?

[vernal steppe]

thank you!! its working now!

[vapid ibex]

wonderful

[torn owl]

I wish there was a less pain-in-the-ass way to get the music than breaking EULAs

||Harvey Run from tpw is a bop||

^ Not UB specific, but closest channel rn

[left lagoon]

Yeah, that would be great

[dawn elm]

That's my name - "Nguyễn Hữu Việt Tân" (with the meaning of hoping for innovation and development for the country).

This is just a coincidence and confusion with the name of a group (not necessarily terrorist as they reported). The cluster behind (8426NBK) is my school number and the abbreviated school name.

I was quite surprised when I played UB again and discovered my name was gone. I really hope you can review and add my name back to the game. Because I spent all my effort completing ARG and wanted to be enrolled in my favorite game.

[vapid ibex]

You should be able to simply relist yourself

(considering deletion is done manually)

Also I apologise for the deletion, but considering my lack of knowledge I have to simply take reports like that in good faith.

[dawn elm]

I can readd? I thought the form arg was closed a long time ago and can't be added again? I also completely understand your decision to delete it

[vapid ibex]

Yeah the hall of fame is different from the giveaway

i talked about this before i have played almost every game and like all of them have an option to like make it not like less laggy but when you move rooms then to make it less laggy

in underground blossen there is no option for it

my laptop can run all of the games like reallt good except this one

most of the times it not this bad but it is laggy everytime j move to a different side of the room

you shoukd make the like quality thing in ub too

playing with sm lag paaaains me but rusty lake games are my favourite games

[vapid ibex]

Thanks for the video! I'll be sharing this with the team. But I'm unsure what you could do about it rn..

Make sure UB is the only program open on your device, maybe?

yea that and discord bht i finished the game already

there are now only 2 games left that i haven’t played i think

السلام عليكم

Hi

[dim kestrel]

the game is great, significantly better than any other rusty lake game but the only problem is some puzzles (like the instagrame page or the bestkeptmemory.com) requires you to get out of the game to an external website, although this adds to the depth of the game and makes the game more enjoyable for people who want multilayered-complex puzzles like me but I dont think rusty lake games should be like this, I feel like rusty lake is like its own small world and introducing external ways to solve puzzles impures it, that's just my opinion and the game is great keep the good work, if u need Arabic translators I would be happy to volunteer :) !

[vapid ibex]

I guess the nature of ARGs sort of do force you to at least use one other website, we have tried to reduce the amount of "outside game steps" you need to take to finish the BKM ARG in game!

thank you for your feedback, though, it's appreciated!

[thick canopy]

I love UB, but there are some things that I dislike and would like to talk about:

No (actually) Misseable Achievements

There are no achievements that require you to restart the game 🥺 And all the Station hidden achievements are basically:

Annoy Laura
Annoy the Newspaped guy
Annoy Tess
Spam the Trumpet
Ok, the Beetle is a cool one, I like it
Thief nipple 😭
Click on 3 insects

(I know that most of the games have achievements like these, like just clicking on the dead cow from The Mill until she opens her eyes, but they also have some cool ones, but UB doesnt 😔 *In the 7 main Stations)

And I know (Atleast I think that was the main reason) that this is because in the other games achievements like these were considered frustating since you would have to replay eeeeverything all over again just because you missed Dale's birthday achievement in Roots, for example
But atleast you could simply skip half of it for knowing the solutions.. and this come to my second thing..

No Skippable Puzzles

Don't want to play the 1st chapter of Case 23? Just skip it! Don't want to play the 2nd too? You can quickly skip it too! You already know how to do the Harvey Wallbanger? No problem, go ahead! Already know the password for the camera in Child Lane? NUH UH. DO EVERY SINGLE PUZZLE FIRST. 🥺🥺 Why is it like that?

If I had to guess, I would say it's because of guessing! (Pun not intended 😭) But it really does make it look like the devs dont want you to replay it at all 😔 Giving the camera to Laura wouldnt break the game because you can only give to her after playing with her and you would still have to do the other puzzles to get the ticket and time 😔 If the problem was that newspaper guy, just make it so we cant click on the box without giving his newspaper first (Dont even need an animation, just make him say "Hands off")
.

[thick canopy]

Some of the unskippable stuff:

Cant open timepiece without scraping the poster
All the times in the clock

Cant call Albert without doing the poster puzzle
Cant look into the eyes of the Statue without making the call
Cant open the Camera box before opening the Statue compartment

Cant get the Trumpet's Robin and Ticket without seeing their respective play orders
*While the order of man in suits is unskippable, it is an order puzzle, so its fine ig?

Cant torn the Dead Woman poster before torturing the Thief

These changes could still be made imo and the Speedrun Community would really appreciate Here are some ideas how this could be implemented:

1. After beating the game, you can restart the game in a different mode that allows skipping methods. Choosing the option "Clear all achievements" would make it go back to normal when restarting
2. After beating the game, you can restart the game and still have the map, you can only access the 7 stations (And BKM or Lab if you access them) But your inventory changes to match the normal gameplay. However, going to The Lake and doing the Blossom ending will just make all your Stations turn into "beated" mode (Just like when you are getting the cubes of each one)
3. Allow to Restart Chapters while having the Map, but change the inventory just as in the previous idea. Completing a Station just opens the Map and give back your old inventory (that has already beaten the game)
   .

Previously, I was talking about "unimportant achievements" #🩸｜general-chat message

Being able to skip these moments would actually add more value to these achievements

And before someone says it, School Street is 99% skippable!

Sorrow Crosss while not being skippable, none of it puzzles have codes or something that you could already know

Besides the clock, of course

So these are two are like the two sides of a coin

Being almost totally skippable for knowing all solutions

And

Being not skippable for not having code solutions

AKA "Order puzzles"

I could also talk about the Bee and Butterfly thing, but it has a reason in TPW

In UB is mostly just a cool detail

Soo yeah, that was my feedback 👽

Oohh

Not sure if I clarified this

Skippable puzzles make it easier to get misseable achievements that require you to restart the whole game

Thats why I talked about them

Thats it

[cobalt echo]

I just finished underground blossom and what an experience im so glad that i didn't spoil myself on it i really enjoyed it and it was really fun too i didn't do post game stuff (||the cubes||) like every other games but some day i will do that but right now i really enjoyed the puzzles and the story

[tardy wraith]

Que es eso?

[thick canopy]

Dad joke

[gilded mauve]

Well... Not really UB Feedback, but I think here is a good space for sharing my love with the music of Victor Butzelaar

[vapid ibex]

that's what #🩸｜general-chat is for!

but thank you for your support!

[gilded mauve]

Ahh... UB good fancy music too

[gilded mauve]

And no no no... I have to say thanks for the good music... Without the Rusty Lake Games, I wouldn't listen to Victor's Music...

And if my calculation is right, then Im place 2. 100%/0.005%=20000. There are 40000 monthly listeners ok Spotify, so I got the second place, if I'm right. Well... it's also could be place 1-3 cause rounding idk

[orchid heron]

IDK if here is a right place, but in Korean subtitle there is a typo. When going to the ||Lab||, the time 'twenty to three' should be translated to 2:40, but it is translated into 3:20.

[hexed bronze]

Where do i find the shrimp in underground blossom

[heavy crown]

First collect all the cubes

[hexed bronze]

How many cubes are there to be found?

[heavy crown]

Nine

Two are already there for you

The glass and the iron cube

[hexed bronze]

Can u provide a hint for the last one? I am stuck

[heavy crown]

Which ones have you found?

[heavy crown]

Okay, there's a hint for the last cube in the sketchbook in Bird Bridge Station, ||you have to dig a hole next to the tree in The Lake||

If you need more help, you can use #ub-help!

Thank you

bug report: ||in act 16 i tried to put the sun on the mirror, and it got stuck there||

[vapid ibex]

|| on the mirror ? And when you say stuck what does that mean? do you have screenshots or a recording? ||

[gilded mauve]

I haven't played this game, but I have to buy the supporter pack. I hope I can buy on on all platforms! My feedback is that it's important to buy all this stuff to get more of this amazing work. Thanks for a new game

[random cave]

unfortunately no, but literally || i dragged the sun on the mirror, about where the hand of the white bunny is, and released it, then it remained there||

[vapid ibex]

Interesting, what did you do to fix it?

[random cave]

just closed and reopened the game

wait lemme see if i can recreate it ||| in the post game section||

yep i did it, can i dm it to u?

[vapid ibex]

Sorry missed your messages here, lets continue in DMs.

[astral shuttle]

I absolutely loved the game, already got the supporter pack and left a review!!! this was such a fun celebration of the 10 year anniversary and i absolutely love the card themed achievements

[stable lodge]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it 😄

[rancid surge]

not sure if this is a bug or on purpose but it seems like the audio is way ahead of my game play

[stable lodge]

If you think it's a bug, you can post about it in #1357676462307541032

[rancid surge]

thanks!

[eager slate]

the game was so good i highly recommend it, and there was something bout a secret game already in development, i'm so excited KEEP ON THE GOOD WORK AND RIP DAVID LYNCH (and i think rusty lake was inspired from twin peaks)

[rigid idol]

At first the game didn't impress me, as I progressed I was surprised. I was pleased with the difficult puzzles, I almost cried, many pleasant moments, many things connected with the lake, it was nice to feel part of the company. The game is made wonderfully, even better than I could have expected. I am impressed. The secret ending with the link pleased me the most))) The game is very cool, I love you

[stable lodge]

Glad to hear you liked it in the end! Would you consider leaving a review on the platfom you played on? They really help 😄

[celest zinc]

Ignore that I'm still playing the games I am replaying it. Spoilering just incase but I don't know guh.

||I love how much the art style has changed; and the difficulty has gotten larger which is good i for real struggle at a few points though i figured it out eventually with some encouragement and out of the box thinking. And i love that the dev's hid secrets for us to scavenge through and find it was like a mini Easter egg hunt to end off April.||

Looking forward to your future projects.

[stable lodge]

Thank you for sharing that!

[wheat stump]

amazing game, left a review on steam too, thank you so much for it, and i cant wait for servants of the lake, love you all, keep it up

i love how they put David Lynch (my favorite director) i was literally screamin' when i saw him

[stable lodge]

A lovely tribute

[compact grove]

well Lynch is indeed an important person, and you are right #welcome-to-rusty-lake message

[dire hound]

Indeed!

[eager slate]

rip Lynch, i wish they put the black lodge from twin peaks in the next game would be just great

[meager burrow]

That game it’s so incredible!!!
It’s genius !
It’s really nice to ||"meet the staff" during the game and include the player as a member of the crew||
Really great 👍

[stable lodge]

Glad to hear you liked it. If you want to, could you leave a review?

[delicate tundra]

Loved it so much! I hope you all really did have a cake like that. Felt like a love letter to the RL universe, staff, and community all in one. Only bit i didn't like was trying to catch the rabbit in the hat 3 times.. twice.. just because there was no easy way to keep track of how far you'd pulled each time like a visual measuring stick.. i ended up using his coat as an indicator lol. Supporter pack was a cute idea and I loved the extra little touches from it would have felt wrong to get the game free on your birthday but the bling was a bonus. Also loved all the links to RL stuff outside the game (even though I'd found all but the final link before playing it was still cool to see them), and having our name on the poster was a nice touch too. Also seeing stuff in game that i have or pre-ordered feels cool (harvey plush, 3 of the postcards, deck of cards and paradox comic) made me feel cool.. which reminds me i still need to buy that paradox poster one day (which was also in this game of course). Anyway, I liked the format of a bunch of small puzzles for the magic show and all the cameos from previous games characters too

[half geyser]

this game turned my day around. I was waiting for new games by rusty lake for so long, and this suddenly got released without any hints(or not that i have known of). What a great game. I thought its just gonna be ||bunch of acts with mini-game style when i first started playing, can't blame it when its a free game. I thought it's just gonna be an appetizer for anniversary telling us rusty lake is still working on a new game. However, when the office is revealed, and so many more easter eggs and connection with previous games, staffs and the real office, it's just so perfect||. Really enjoyed this game and looking forward to the new game!

[vapid ibex]

Thank you all so much for the kind words already:)

Make sure to leave a rating / review if you haven't yet!

[thin sigil]

that was my exact same reaction! I loved the sound design too, especially the background noises-- I don't think everyone will notice, but I appreciate the extra effort that went in

[vapid ibex]

We are so greatful to be able to work with Driftwood audio, they do such a good job.

[coral pulsar]

The game was genuinely the highlight of my day! I also thought ||it would be a simple game about mr rabbit and his magic tricks, but realising that we play as the intern at the rusty lake office all along|| made the game that much more interesting. The celebration part was so wholesome. And the style of the achievements this time is literally perfect! I think the achievement hunt in this game in particular was my favourite so far. Thank you rusty lake for once again blessing us with such a cool and awe-inspiring game. I'm kinda busy right now but I'll make sure to write a review asap~

[vapid ibex]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[noble oasis]

Loved the easter eggs || and the sudden change to the office, the twist was so great!! ||

[vapid ibex]

@noble oasis Please mind your spoilers! Thank you so much for the kind words though.

[noble oasis]

Done 🙂

[torn owl]

Fun game!!

[noble oasis]

also! Loved looking for the achievements, they were really fun and not at all frustrating

It was such a love letter to the fans I can't wait for the next one, it's always a pleasure to play Rusty Lake games.

[vapid ibex]

Be sure to leave a rating or review too, it helps a ton!

[noble oasis]

Just did, I'm so happy we were gifted this free game, top notch quality as always 💯💯❤️❤️

[rigid jasper]

10/10, very fun to complete and a nice unique idea. just like paradox, it was very fun getting the achievments

[paper shale]

Well, that was quite an experience. I'm pretty sure that developers preparation to the party was just the same as in the game)
Judging by Steam, my first bought game was Paradise, 7 years later just several days after release. And from that time these games brought me and enjoyment with their atmosphere and puzzles. So yeah, I'm happy how's it going, keep it like that

[pastel geode]

11/10, still have yet to finish all the achievements but I greatly enjoyed all the references, especially the part in the office. ||I said "oh no" out loud when Mr. Rabbit popped out of the cake lol|| Looking forward to more Rusty Lake content in the future!

Side not- will merch be available on a US website or would we have to order from that specific site?

[vapid ibex]

Relatively sure it will only be on the Lost in Cult website.

thank you all for the kind words, though!:)

[torn owl]

Ohhh the merch struggle

Especially with limited things

[ashen loom]

For the first 5-ish minutes I felt unimpressed, and then by 15 minutes in I felt silly for underestimating Rusty Lake!!! Such a fun little anniversary surprise, felt like a love letter to the community. I hadn't known about the Best Kept Memories website or the mental health and fishing website, so I was also happy to be directed to those and get to enjoy some of the ARG-like aspects of the world building 😄 love y'all this was such a fun thing to see today

[frank rapids]

Thank you for the positive review!
Feel free to rate the game, too! It'd be really helpful

yes!

@vapid ibex ||I was incredibly happy to see you pop up! Put a smile on my face!||

[clear tusk]

100/10 for sure, Rusty Lake never disappoints. I really hope all of the rusty lake games get the recognition they deserve. || I watched the short film after playing the game, and the fact that you all made the game look exactly like the office in the film really surprised me!|| Hope you guys keep making these awesome games!! Sending love from 🇵🇭

||I also found the pictures on the phone, you guys are awesome!||

[ancient cloak]

Awesome game! I love the work you guys put into this!

[torpid cove]

Agreed with all of the above - MRMS is a lovely birthday gift and much appreciated. Congratulations on 10 years, looking forward to 10 more!

[dapper field]

||I noticed that the key didn’t pop out for me when I threw away the shards, anyone know of any fixes? Spent so long searching for what I was supposed to do next||

I figured it out nevermind, user error happy to report!

[trim orchid]

Primarily I really like the drawing style. It's definitely fascinating, very smooth and satisfying art. I have been already following the cube escape and rusty lake series for ten years. I am sure my dedication explains well how much I love the series. As for the anniversary game, ||for a second I thought the whole game was going to be about the rabbit show but it astonished me when it turned out something different.|| It deserves all the appreciations and the admiration. I had fun while searching for cards they seem really cool.

[delicate tundra]

Already gave feedback above but adding a little suggestion, I think the full sized card should pop up after you find it until dismissed so you can have a good look at it without going into the achievements. Many of the cards are not shown until you go in there and they're too cool to hide away like that (I didnt even realise that clicking them in achievement list showed the full card art at first)

[karmic jolt]

I loved it. I been paying the games since the fifth anniversary and this is definitely one of my favourite games from the series. ||My favourite part was the second light bulb act. Mr Rabbit is definitely one of my favourites characters after Albert and Dale so I was full rambling to a girl i am talking to, I ordered the merch bundle.|| Overall it's amazing and thank you for your hard work

[vapid ibex]

Thank you all for the kind words! Be sure to leave a rating and or review, it helps a ton!

[rigid hatch]

i loved it so much i love u guys

[shadow spade]

I really liked Mr Rabbit Magic Show.
||I played it yesterday, and it was strange at first, because it didnt follow the regular 4 walls room puzzle that im used to, but then the office part came, so it all made sense, kinda broke the 4th wall.
Even though it is more of a game to celebrate the anniversary, and promote the merch, it still feels like a good rusty lake puzzle to me.
Overall, i really liked it, got all the cards, and im already excited for the next game!||

[frank rapids]

Feel free to also leave a rating, Jony! It'd be really helpful
(and thanks for the kind words)

[shadow spade]

i will!

[jaunty cypress]

is it normal that the achievements don't count ? I have a couple already in-game but steam doesn't recognize them for some reason

[vapid ibex]

hey Night! What version of the game are you running?

[jaunty cypress]

Hey ! 1.1.1 according to the pause menu

[vapid ibex]

Interesting. Did you reset the achievements when doing a new run, picked any of them up?

[jaunty cypress]

yeah, I installed the itch.io version first and played thgough that, then downloaded the steam version and somehow it kept my previous progress but no steam achievements

then I reset the game and it still didn't register them

[vapid ibex]

Okay but did you reset the game including the achievements?

[jaunty cypress]

yeah

replayed from the begining

[vapid ibex]

Okay weird. Thanks for letting us know.

What operating system are you using?

[dim lotus]

very great game, thanks again devs for such innovative and original games you provide to the community ❤️

[jaunty cypress]

Windows !

maybe I have to reinstall the game for it to work, I might try later

[vapid ibex]

@jaunty cypress Before a reinstall could you try just removing the savefile from documents > Rusty Lake > TheMrRabbitMagicShow

[jaunty cypress]

okay done !

[shrewd nacelle]

Mr Rabbit's Magic Show felt fairly easier than the older games. Maybe that was the goal because it was an anniversary thing? Or maybe I just got better at the puzzles? A couple puzzles were tricky though, like ||the swords and the bunny toss||. Still, I kinda wish it was overall a little more challenging.

I've played some puzzle games that let you select an easier mode or a harder mode at the beginning, so maybe something like that, but that might be a lot more work. Just an idea!

I loved the throwback music on the records. Always bangers, as the hip young people say. The atmosphere 🤌

I thought the ||game-ception|| was super cool, especially playing ||The Lake on the phone||.

Finding the ||candy wrapper under the rug|| almost drove me insane ✨ Luckily, I had two friends on call playing the game themselves and we were able to help each other when we got stuck, like there.

Loved the spooky ||smoke|| moment. I think incorporating other spooky teases throughout the game would've been fun, just giving you the unsettling feeling that something else might be going on. But again, this was an anniversary game for funsies and I don't think the intention was to go lore heavy?

I was a little disappointed that calling the J. Eilander number from Paradox didn't unlock an achievement or easter egg 😅 While grasping for straws to find the second joker card, that was the only thing I could think of to try.

Overall, it was a lot of fun! Always excited for a new Rusty Lake game! It was a fantastic surprise and a perfect opportunity to finally make one of my friends play a Rusty Lake game after trying to explain the lore to him like a rambling madman.

[thick canopy]

Thank you for such a detailed comment! Don't forget to leave a review in the store of your choice :)

[maiden wigeon]

I loved loved LOVED the game! It's very interesting the different perspectives of the game, and the office part was very unexpected. I found the puzzles not too hard nor too easy, I sometimes needed the discord help server to get some things right 😅, but I also fried my own brain trying to solve them. I love you guys and keep making awesome games!

[stable lodge]

Glad to hear you liked it! We're here to help 😄
If you have the time, would you be willing to leave a review?

[maiden wigeon]

Ofc!

[slow gate]

Happy birthday, Rusty Lake!
Thanks a lot for the work done. Your games are like a breath of fresh air for me.
We are waiting for updates!

[lavish drum]

Fire game like usual, loved it alot and i liked all the little references especially at the end :) like usual i got stuck but somehow made it through and the music was amazing! very delicious 9/10, my only issue and it may just be me but i feel like the rotary phone was a lil bit glitchy when i tried to turn it as it kept pausing mid way through but i always struggle with the phone anyway it becomes a 10/10 for the ||Damy|| reference

[vapid ibex]

The people love flooffy haired characters

[frank rapids]

Completely true

[lavish drum]

||i hope you enjoyed your egg toastie ||

[vapid ibex]

|| my favorite! ||

[fallen storm]

That was fun. Loved all the call backs to all the games. I remembered most of the references if not all.

[wind bluff]

Made myself a list of all the achievements for future playthroughs. Loved the ||best kept memory number since 50 and 26 are easy to remember for me as 26 is my favorite number|| ||26 is also half a deck of playing cards, hiding meaning?||

[night cosmos]

Super fun game! I loved ||Seeing the rusty lake team all together in the game. I figured there was more than meets the eye but it still caught me off guard when it turned out we were playing as one of the developers for the game||

I'm glad to see how strong the series is going even after 10 years

[vapid ibex]

Thank you very much for the kind words!

be sure to leave a review or a rating, it helps a ton:)

[night cosmos]

I shall

I think I fed you a shrimp toastie by the way

[night stream]

It's a 1/1 for me

I can't eat the cake though

[vapid ibex]

[night cosmos]

Sorry man, I just gave them out randomly

[night stream]

I gave him cheese

Dude. 😭 how was i supposed to know what to give everyone?

Ngl i should replay and see everyones reaction of every toastie

[night cosmos]

I might do that too honestly

Again, small details in this game are always appreciated. Everyone having different reactions to what they get was great

It shows that you guys care about quality

[night stream]

It's not about quality. It's about accuracy.

imagine giving a person shrimp toastie and that person says "HMM! Cheesy!!"

Wait accuracy is part of queslity no?

Wait am i becoming dumber? 😭

[night cosmos]

You're good, I get what you mean

[night stream]

Good. 👍

[frosty pebble]

I just finished the game, I had so much fuuuun, it was amazing, and such a nice experience! It was so cool to see the whole team together. Happy anniversary! Can't wait for the games to come

[thick canopy]

Glad to know you liked it! Dont forget to leave a review, it really helps the games and the studio!

[frosty pebble]

Already did, hope you have a nice day

[gentle rune]

It was so fun!!!!

I finished the game with all achievements, but I have a question. ||Did I dream it or there's a secret yellow LP?||

[lusty prism]

Glad you enjoyed it! Feel free to leave a review, it really helps.

||For the yellow LP, it's part of supporter pack.||

[olive zenith]

All the games are good, but there are many typos in the Korean translation.
’될거에요’(x) > ’될 거예요’(o)
’시간에요‘(x) > ‘시간이에요‘(o)
etc.

[main leaf]

this game was really funny and a beautiful omage to past rusty lake games ||and perjaps future ones..||

[wooden vapor]

Just finished the game. It was a real time machine and I made myself a toastie after that

[frank rapids]

We're glad you liked the game!
Feel free to leave a rating, since that would help the developers quite a lot

[willow glen]

I'm a HUGE puzzle lover. I've played Professor Layton, Phoenix Write, Dark Dome, LabeledMan, Monument Valley, and countless indies. I devour puzzles the way I SHOULD consume water.
I've played Rusty Lake for 8+ years, and it is, by far, my favorite puzzle series. If I remember correctly the first one I ever played was the Lake, and I've been hooked (pun intended), ever since ❤️

Mr. Rabbit's Magic Show continues the mystery. All the nods and ties to past games were very clever, ||the fan art being posted on the walls made me cry..|| ❤️ And the relief I felt when ||Mr. Rabbit shot confetti instead of...|| well anyway, point is, I LOVED IT!!!!

I look forward to many more puzzles and secrets! And I'm desperately hoping the universe aligns such that I can nab one of those card decks.. 😍
100/10 ✨

[willow glen]

I'd also like to give an extra nod to the devs. Yall are so genuinely amazing, and tho I'm not super active, I've loved vibing here with yall as you built, and took care of, this community. Especially the way yall interact with us (the players), it shows yall respect us nd don't just see us as stats.
I especially got genuinely excited when ||I saw @vapid ibex in the game (I think) after they helped me not moments before!!!|| It was an amazing, personal feelings that you don't get from the bigger game franchises.
Keep being awesome, devs, mods, and the rest of the Rusty Lake family ❤️

[frank rapids]

||Damy is indeed in the game :)||
And wonderful review, it's clear how much you love the games in each and every word you've written 🫂

[willow glen]

Idk if yall use these reviews outside of this app, but if you do, I don't mind signing my name to it, too! Damien Ryder, Autistic Puzzle Nerd 😄

[amber siren]

Hi, could you show us design of cards like 2, 3, 10 and similiar??

[stable lodge]

Please do not post spam/ask the same question in multiple channels. If you'd like to see all of the cards, you can ask for help finding them in #1366383330702000198

[gilded mauve]

Platform: Steam Version
Issue: There were problems with holding the mouse cursor; in some instances, it was only recognized as tapping instead.
Additional Testing: The game was also played on a mobile device, where it worked seamlessly. The issue was particularly noticeable when interacting with the ||tiger||.
Input Devices Tested: Touchpad and touchscreen

[vapid ibex]

Thanks for reaching out.

Are you sure this isn't simply related to your touchscreen ?

[gilded mauve]

The issue was on Touchpad and Touchscreen and my laptop is from 2024. Everything else works fine for me and I use the touchscreen for work too

[sturdy kiln]

Hello all, I'm a first time member (but long-time player), so I ask for some grace while I learn my way around the server. I hope this is the right place to give notes and ask for help with something that's not working in the game.

I'm on the Google Play version, and only a tiny handful of the playing cards appear in full when you win them: ||Albert as the King of Clubs||, and maybe ||Harvey's egg.|| The rest don't show the full card; you just see a little star saying you got an achievement.

My second note is that you can only reset the entire game, not individual chapters, which is frustrating. Thanks in advance for your patience!

Oh, and I loved the game! Especially the behind-the-scenes parts in the offices. Happy Birthday Rusty Lake (and many more). ❤️

[heavy crown]

I think that's meant to happen, I'm not sure

[sturdy kiln]

You mean the playing cards, or the resetting the game and not the chapter? (FWIW, the help screen itself recommends re-setting the chapter at one point, but when you go to that screen, the only options you get are Reset Game and a button to adjust the graphics.)

[heavy crown]

The ||cards, I think you only see the face of the cards for a few||

[sturdy kiln]

Gotcha. That makes sense, I guess, if they're selling them as merch.

[heavy crown]

You can see them properly if you click on them from the achievements menu

[sturdy kiln]

Ah, thank you! Love the artwork on them.

[sturdy kiln]

That does still leave the question of not being able to reset the chapters, though. Can anyone help there?

[vapid ibex]

@sturdy kiln Out of curiosity, what chapters would you like to see reset chapter buttons for?

[gilded mauve]

Omg its me... and it was nice to hear @vapid ibex s voice again
||I love the fact that my favorite song of the rusty lake series was Victor's "new Song"||

[vital rivet]

Guys i don t understand this part

[heavy crown]

||the items on the shelf represent numbers and the dates give you the order to put them in||, you can search for or create a post in #1366383330702000198 for more help

[unkempt charm]

I think it' s because this menu is a reprise of the same in UB, where there are different chapters.

[fallen ginkgo]

||I just solved the "odd card out" by accident and I don't think I understood all of the puzzles.

One was black
One was odd
One wasn't 4
what was the other one? I didn't understand I got it by accident||

[heavy crown]

||They were all 1 apart from each other, besides the 7||

[sturdy kiln]

Hello @vapid ibex ! I'm not sure if it counts as a chapter, but ||it was the part where you're given the brush to clean up the office. I wanted to see if the brush would reveal any more of the weird design on the door. (I already reset the game and played it over, and it didn't.)||

[vapid ibex]

Ah I suppose that makes sense! But the button is mostly there in case a puzzles go wrong, for finding secrets you're on your own;)

[wicked mural]

Good day! As I assume delivery to Ukraine is not possible? In case of winning the competition

[vapid ibex]

Hey! Shipping is worldwide:)

[winged hemlock]

@vapid ibex I have sent you some questions about game DLC in a private message. Please take a look when you have time. Thank you.

[late onyx]

🎈Having a wonderful time, as always and I left my 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 review. Just two cards to go! 🎈

[finite wind]

Hey everyone, I noticed something on the mobile version of Mrms but idk if I can report it her (it’s related to the subtitles). Is this channel the right place?

[vapid ibex]

You can make or look for a message in #1357676462307541032

[finite wind]

Thanks :D

[stoic sage]

I really loved the game but after I've finished all the achievements (the card ones. They're called achievements in-game as in other games, yk) I didn't get anything on Google Play Games. It's not a bug, I know, there's just no achievements for Rusty Lake games on mobile game centres (including Apple Game Centre).
So, my feedback: it'd be awesome if there were mobile achievements like on Steam :D

[vital vigil]

Thanks for the new game! That was nostalgic to play. ||But the end with free playing confuses me, I don't really know what to do else)))||

[heavy crown]

||You can collect the rest of the achievements||

[vital vigil]

Oh, and also.|| Is there a way to know who likes what sandwich?||

[heavy crown]

||Everyone has the same reaction to each sandwich||

[vapid ibex]

But I || prefer egg ||

[hexed widget]

📝

||now we need to learn sandwich opinions from others and we might find a secret||

foolproof

[upbeat osprey]

I ||called the cake company again after the game ended and they said cake delivered but I didn’t get another cake. || 😢💔

[coarse gale]

||i called the number in the intern and there was a voice but nothing happens after that ||

[compact grove]

||have you checked the Lynch portrait after the call||

[unkempt charm]

||Could you make the grill "untouchable" (i don' t know the programming term ) before the smoke incident? In my 1° playtrough i actually closed it with the specific intent to avoiding such a problem, so i was stunned when that section came, like:-I closed it! -.||

[native oriole]

||Maybe you need to unplug it.. the plug is behind and you cannot see! :D||

[inner gyro]

Loved the game ! It's so cute and a great hommage to all the game done in the past. And the devellopers's accent made me realize how bad mine is haha

[vapid ibex]

Thank you very much for the kind words! Make sure to leave a rating / review too:)

[eternal mulch]

really amazing game, from the past to the present, in love with characters and roles too

[tepid nest]

Game was awesome,such a gift to loyal fans

[rigid idol]

Un jeu exceptionnel ! Bravo et merci

[finite nymph]

Heureux que le jeu t'aies plu ! N'hésite pas à laisser un avis sur Steam ou sur l'App Store, ça aide énormément

[spring wharf]

Been a fan of Rusty lake for the longest time, give me the rush everytime they release new game!
This is such an awesome gift to fans🥹🥹

[vapid ibex]

Thank you so much for the kind words!:)

[orchid field]

As a player from China, it really take me some effort to join Rusty Lake’s Discord and meet everyone here.

I absolutely love your games! Just yesterday, I completed the entire game and collected all the achievements, and I was deeply moved. 🥹

Thank you so much for creating such amazing experiences. I’m really looking forward to your next masterpiece!

[rigid idol]

love from South Africa! I originally played samsara room on pc and found this game on mobile! Interesting and an enjoyable experience

[vapid ibex]

Thank you both so much for the positive feedback!:)

[coral ibex]

I loved this game so much, I've been playing this games for a long long time and this one convinced me to start looking for the fandom, and here i am now, love from Argentina!!

[lime sundial]

Have a great future happy birthday

[twilit oasis]

I love all Rusty lake games, and this one isn't an exception

[half furnace]

I got a black screen and can't fix it no matter what I do. Restarting, validating the files, deleting save files, reinstalling nothing helped. Anyone experiencing the same issue or knowing how to fix it? Got this after || lighting the cake with the matches||. I'm on windows, I still can see the intro saying Rusty Lake but nothing after that.

[compact grove]

Could you check if maybe this message is useful in your case: #🐎｜sotl-feedback message

[half furnace]

It got fixed by itself, don't know how, but thank you very much anyways.

Great games aren't they? Sorry for wasting a bit of your time for nothing.

[compact grove]

no worries at all, that's what we're here for

[noble carbon]

I play alone and I don't know how to play with anyone else

[thorn ermine]

perhaps we can play later

is it ok?

[gentle violet]

Is it intentional that act 17 has two solutions? The shorter one does look like there’s a bit of clipping for the second entry.

[thick rune]

Hello do someone knows the combination of the flowers?

[pastel plover]

||hat||

[thick rune]

Yes I know the hat but the combination

[analog kernel]

I got it right but I still don't understand

[gentle dune]

dunno if I'm overreacting to this or not but when it comes to the animals coming out of the hats puzzle they move way too fast. You just end up guessing instead of using the hints you've given

or maybe I'm just blind and you can ignore me

[vapid ibex]

Hey Trin! I think that's perfectly reasonable feedback. We've taken this into account and there's actually already another way to help you figure it out; || the hats make a sound when you click on them ||

[gentle dune]

Oh my god. The way I didn't even think to do that. Thanks. Felt a bit frustrated with the puzzle at first. This is awesome.

[analog kernel]

I need help with act 10

[pallid jolt]

Hello, I bought your game Rusty Lake Roots on my Iphone 13 phone, can you please optimize it, otherwise the aspect ratio of the screen can be inconvenient, I'll attach screenshots below

[thick canopy]

@pallid jolt no need to spam

[pallid jolt]

How will it be possible to contact the developers?

[thick canopy]

We have #💭｜suggestions-and-feedback

[pallid jolt]

thanks

Do they give answers to such questions? @thick canopy

[thick canopy]

When they can, yes

[carmine nimbus]

They are not going to do it like this morning. So there is no reason for spam nor push all the channels.

[sharp quest]

pretty sure this isn't meant to happen (also the candles hitbox is criminally small)

also the audio keeps going despite you exiting (not closing) the app

[vapid ibex]

I was under the impression this was fixed Are you playing on the latest version?

[sharp quest]

I am playing on the latest version (1.1.6)

[vapid ibex]

I see! and on what device?

[sharp quest]

it's a Motorola G20 (android)

[vapid ibex]

Cool thanks for letting me know.

[sharp quest]

you're welcome
maybe you find a fix in the hallway /j

Thanks for the fun release I’ve been playing your games with my family for 7 years now so much fun!

[cinder yarrow]

Amazing game to celebrate rusty lake, I haven’t been involved with playing so long but all the games I’ve played I have enjoyed so much. Adore the art style of the games and overall themes and gameplay. Well done to all the team.

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…

THERE WE GO thank you damy, idk what was going on before

[stable lodge]

Glad to hear it works now!

[coarse fractal]

the demo is so so cool guys tysm ! i look forward to play the full game already <333

[nocturne bobcat]

just finished the demo it was so fun and im happy to be back to the house cant wait for the full game 😄 i hope we find the name of the kitty he is adorable 🥺💕

[crystal zenith]

yooo i have feedback!! i love the demo so much, and PLEASE i beg you one of the achievements to be petting the cat an excessive amount of times. like im talking more than 10 times like you do in hades when you pet cerberus. like im saying the cat gets pissed off at you petting excessively and then you get an achievement!!! idk just an achievement for the cat would be so much fun!! ooo and also maybe over exercising aldous or something like that idk man

[stable lodge]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[random pendant]

Amazing demo, I really like the roots/paradise/hotel more "countryside" setting, I really am looking forward to the full game. There's just one thing, dragging around would really lag my game, like, the animations were working normally, but if I tried to drag the screen, it'd feel like 20fps

[stable lodge]

Thank you for sharing your feedback. That sounds unfortunate tho!

What hardware are you playing on?

[random pendant]

i3 7100 + gtx 1050ti

[lime adder]

Okay so:
I liked the demo; now it was a tiny piece of but the Napoleonic soldier [French regiment] I can't tell what class it's meant to be I would say a sapper but they are missing the trademarked apron those guys wore [so its likely infantry] but enough me hyper fixating on that detail before I bore you all since you aren't here for a Napelonic history lesson.

I spend 6 long minutes on the 1st puzzle; but that's because I can't recognize patterns [that's just how i am] and when I figured it out i went 'oh my gosh it was obvious silly me.' the countryside aesthetic is chef kiss; I admit the mouse jumpscare made me well jump lol [i think if my mic picked it up in the video you can hear me gasp].

I liked the Aldous puzzle [though again I struggled with the soldier's pattern recognition] but I got it eventually so it's more of a 'me issue' than a 'game issue'.

All together; it was good looking forward to who the guests are in the future release and how it'll turn out.

Edit:Also Aldous standing there with his hands on his hips was funny to me lol.

[stable lodge]

It's been passed on!

[stable lodge]

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! I can't believe the game is unplayable now (I shall never unsee it)
If you'd like, feel free to leave feedback on Steam

[lime adder]

devs get a 10 page yap session of my Napleonic interest only 1 paragraph is about the game [this is a joke lol] but I shall

[stable lodge]

It's good to see you care enough to engage with it!

I really enjoyed it!!

I'm glad to hear! If you're willing, please leave a review on Steam 😄

[mossy pilot]

Ofcorse me and my whole family are all rusty lake fans✨️

[autumn cedar]

ok that was fast but great. i'm getting better at puzzles (like, i needed help with only one, which is cool enough for me) and just overall the Vanderboom family is, in fact, my Roman Empire since i first played. i'm waiting to see the full game and get a ton of new information, which will absolutely blow my mind again.

thank you, Rusty Lake! we are waiting 🧡

[lusty prism]

Glad to hear that you enjoyed it

[granite pagoda]

first time i get through a RL game blind WITHOUT at least a bit of help, and i'm really proud of me!)U"8uhewde
the demo was indeed pretty short but i'm not against it's lenght, it's good for a demo.
all in all, GIVE ME FULL GAME NOW ASHEFDUHDGHBFEWD

or whenever it's ready of course

[stable lodge]

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[delicate tundra]

Literally just started playing and already found a tiny bug. When it asked me to ||sign the contract I signed with the letter K and that was fine, but after backing out of the signing screen and going back in it has deleted the I and left only < (deleted first stroke and left the second)||

[stable lodge]

If you're willing, we'd really appreciate it if you could leave a review on Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/

[granite pagoda]

oh i already did do not worry

[stable lodge]

Thank you for sharing this

[stable lodge]

[clever moat]

i think I found a softlock lol

[stable lodge]

Could you describe it?

(And please spoiler tag it)

[clever moat]

oh nevermind it got resolved by itself sorry

[stable lodge]

Glad to hear that though!

[delicate tundra]

I'm not sure if this counts as a bug, but since ive replayed multiple times already I am kind of speedrunning picking up items and moving out of the screen. The sound of the item being picked up is played but the items keep going back to where they were It's been multiple items not any specific one

[stable lodge]

Thank you for sharing this!

[vapid ibex]

mhmm interesting.

is it the ding ?

[thick canopy]

I guess you are clicking the "back" button right when collecting the item to save time but it ends up not finishing the collecting animation

[vapid ibex]

On my end when I time it to go back on the ding it still appears in my inventory

[thick canopy]

Maybe it's a very precise moment where it plays the sound but hasnt gone to the inventory yet

[delicate tundra]

yes the back button. The ding happens but the items go back half of the time if you back out too fast

[vapid ibex]

O interesting. do you think you could get a recording of that?

[delicate tundra]

let me try, it happened 6 times on different things by now

[vapid ibex]

Wondering if it's a lag issue

[delicate tundra]

oh but there is nothing left to pick up ill have to reset again

[thick canopy]

Add a speedrun mode that disables the collect animations

[vapid ibex]

Never, its part of the charm!

[delicate tundra]

Ok so it happened on 2 different playthrough but i just replayed again and couldnt get it to happen. But I noticed that sometimes the ding is instant and sometimes there is a very slight pause first so maybe it was in those time. The ding might have happened after backing out despite the item getting left behind, its hard to tell when you are rushing to get to a specific part

[vapid ibex]

Yeah fair.

[vapid ibex]

are you playing on windows?

[delicate tundra]

yes win 11

[vapid ibex]

Okay thank you. I doubt hardware's the issue in that case.

[delicate tundra]

And I also have the ususal issue with every rusty lake game that the steam screenshot button has quite a bit of lag between pressing and the screenshot getting taken. I often have to move or click the mouse before it will take a screenshot. It has only ever happened on one other game which is "the dream machine" but it happens every steam rusty lake game

[crude pumice]

I really liked the demo and can't wait to play the full game. I enjoyed the setting and want to investigate all house, there's surely many secrets 🙃 Also I really liked the music from Rusty Lake: Roots in the first level, it's so nostalgic, haha 😁 Puzzles aren't hard but I think there will be challenges in the full game. I have very good thoughts about this game ❤️

[stable lodge]

Thank you for sharing your feedback!

[tepid nest]

Just finished Demo(TWICE) and must say:
1)Maid having such a soft voice is nice(please,don’t kill her!)
2)cat is awesome!
3)now we know woman’s name is Alexandra Vanderboom
4)interesting that we msut not complain in case of anything,and the fact that we sign with Crow feather yk
5)Aldous saying ‘exercises keep me young’ as if he isn’t balding old Unc

[stable lodge]

Don't bully your employer XD
Thanks for the feedback, though!

[tepid nest]

He needs to be fed by me
He is only young next to Mammoth

[dusty oasis]

For my review of the demo: I enjoyed the art style, music and puzzles. I really look forward to seeing the full game. Can you pet the cat? YES!!!

[sharp fractal]

The incorporations of the paintings of Rusty Lake in the background and how they moved in like layers when you moved the screen once you get to the house was amazing!! Also the portraits inside the house were incredible!! ❤️

[vapid ibex]

Thank you all for the kind words!:)

[feral forge]

Great game so far, I enjoyed the overall experience and found the whole experience with Aldous. Although within the moving screens such as the carriage ride and the part at the front door was quite laggy for me, unlike the non-movement screens. Apart from that, I can’t wait for the full game!

[vapid ibex]

We're aware of performance issues at the very start, thanks for sharing though, it's greatly appreciated!

[upper swift]

Just finished the demo, enjoyed it a lot! Can't wait to see what the rest of the game will be like :D I especially liked the background paintings of rusty lake heh

[vapid ibex]

Thank you for the kind words!

[old fulcrum]

hahahahaa. I already did😉

[stable lodge]

[vivid tusk]

it was very fun! I was wondering if you had a sneak peek at this game before Underground Blossom? I either had a dream about it or saw something about it before discord announcement. For now, I assume it was a crazy prediction dream. the carriage outside looks a lot like the the one in my "dream" very nice

[stable lodge]

A version of this demo (not identical, but similar) was available at Gamescom! There was also a little Something in ||MRMS||

I can't remember anything from before then, but I'm open to being corrected 😄

[round thistle]

I'm sure one of the games ||ends with a cutscene where the player arrives at the lake, white pillars and all. Or was it a secret ending?.. That's what I thought of as soon as I saw the trailer for sotl||

[jaunty cypress]

Just finished it, lovely one. Only complaint is the lag, which kinda sucks for a 2D game, otherwise i just cannot wait for the full release aaa

[thick canopy]

Underground Blossom, yes

With the brothers protraits

[stable lodge]

Ah you're right!

[jaunty cypress]

Glad to hear that ! otherwise it feels just like the classic rusty lake juicy sauce, I truly missed it it's been a while since we got a canon, full mainline game, thanks y'all !!! <3

also, very small thing but on the steam page of SotL, the first video in the gallery has the intro that only plays sound for the left ear, the rest of the video is fine but just the intro only plays for the left ear lmao

[stable lodge]

I've passed it on!

[quiet sparrow]

Loved the demo, the only problem - too short 😁 everything went smoothly, no lag for me, had to think a little about the puzzles but solved it quickly.

[stable lodge]

Great to hear your only issue was the length! XD If you'd like, we'd love it if you left a review: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/

[undone brook]

Just finished the demo and the first thing that hit me while playing is the gorgeous background and the next thing is the incredible music. I replayed the begining for like 4 times just to get the signiture right xd and fyi the game was very satifying to play on an xp-pen tablet (just a tad bit slow to react when I played with the pen but the normal touch pad worked fine). Also the coin animation was really cool. Somehow when I replayed it with the Vietnamese translation, the voice of the guy who ride the carriage (idk the word) lagged behind a little with the dialog "I'll bring the guest...". Otherwise, peak demo with a slight jumpscare cause I didn't expect it. Can't wait for the full release 🦅💗

[stable lodge]

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! I never even considered using an xppen lol but of course it's possible D

If possible, it'd be great if you could also leave a review on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3996940/Servant_of_the_Lake_Demo/

[opal scarab]

hi, there is an issue with the animation of the|| carriage driver, after he accepts the coin, his arm abruptly disappears into thin air||

[vapid ibex]

Hey @opal scarab ! Thanks for letting us know. Do you think you could try to replicate it / did you get it on video? I haven't experienced this issue myself.

[opal scarab]

sure, can I send it to your dm?

[vapid ibex]

Yeah you can send me a message requestn o worries

[opal scarab]

hm, it says that the message could not be delivered cause only friends can text you

Not sure if you got this feedback already but some text misbehaves when clicking away from the page
||The text "He doesn't like cold feet" resizes rapidly when clicking away from wake up instructions||

[vapid ibex]

we're aware of this, but thank you!

[strong ferry]

1. I couldn't understand why I couldn't open any windows during the demo; perhaps they open later in the game, or maybe I just couldn't figure it out.
2. I couldn't figure out how to easily give him the bowl; I had to place it on his head, and I had to try many times. Why wasn't it enough to just place it anywhere on him?
3. The art in the game has beautiful changes in the portraits; I loved the portraits, but for some reason, the character designs in the game seemed duller to me compared to other games. The mansion design is also very different from other games. I really liked playing as an active character in the game.

[vapid ibex]

Thank you for your feedback:)

[icy trench]

Great vibe in demo ! I like play as servant, probably there will be interesting secrets of the family to discover. Feel like there be something big.

Hello, I am a player from China. I really like your new work servant of the lake, but during gameplay, I noticed an inaccurate translation.
In Aldous Vanderboom's bedroom,"床帘”was mistakenly translated into“窗帘”
Although it might be a small mistake ,but it may cause misunderstand when playing.❤️

[vapid ibex]

Thank you! I'll make a note of it:)

[vapid ibex]

Are you playing is Traditional or Simplified Chinese?

[lethal sedge]

Just finished playing the demo, and can't wait to play the full game! 2026 can't come fast enough
I have just a single note: the music in the menu and title cards was really loud in comparison to the music and sounds during gameplay: it was unpleasantly startling to me and I had to adjust my volume.

[vapid ibex]

I'll make a note of that! Thank you:)

[thick canopy]

Speaking of the music, I think it's too quiet in the game (no headphones) and I wanted to actually hear it (maybe when thr OST gets released 🙂)

And the carriage noises during the intro are also in the music side instead of sound effects

[vapid ibex]

I did make a note of the carriage bit specifically, but I'll pass the other thing along too.

[night stream]

if SOTL is gonna be like the demo? I think it's gonna get boring if we see a text saying smth like "bedroom" or "kitchen"

I know in hotel you did the same. but most of them are for time jumps

but eitherway. I'm having a classic case of rustylake-phosys. (basically, I have no patience to play the full thing cause I know the full thing is gonna be AWESOOOOME)

[vapid ibex]

Can you elaborate on this, what exactly would make labeling places "boring?"

[night stream]

like, with each scene there would be a text showing up with what you're going to do

[vapid ibex]

Mhmmm yeah, each level will likely have a little title card like that. But obviously some levels will be longer so they should be more spaced out.

[night stream]

and to me it kinda defeats the point

I wanna figure out what I need to dooo

welp, I'm probably not gonna have that problem when the full game is out. cause rusty lake games are AAWWWEEESSOOOOOOMMMEEE

[vapid ibex]

Yeah I do see what you mean. Thanks for your explanation.

And for your excitement!

[night stream]

I would go crazy if someone isn't excited for SotL 🙂

[coral pulsar]

Forgot to tune in on Monday but I just wanted to say that this was one of the most fun experiences ever! I missed this kind of atmosphere in rusty lake games, it reminds me of roots so much (it's not like it takes place in literally the same house lol) I also loved the oil paintings of the siblings and the background too! It gives everything a unique feel and I genuinely felt like I was physically transported to the 1800's. Also Aldous is such… an interesting guy, lol. I had a lot of fun playing around with him. And the cat. I only wish it hadn't run away, I wanted to play more 😔 (I get that was the point, I was just a bit sad at that moment lol)
But if the full game is just like this, then I'm even more excited for its release

[solemn ibex]

Just played the demo and gotta say I don't think I can wait for when it becomes available in play store 😭

So far Roots and Underground Blossom and The White Door have been favourites from the franchise and I can see that Servant of the lake will take the top spot soon perhaps. The atmosphere reminds me of Roots and soundtrack reminds me of Paradise and Underground Blossom. Really sets the mood. Puzzles are easy since it's the demo though the story setting is intriguing. Not suprising since Roots seems to be fan favorite.

Gotta hand it to the animators and artists for the scenes though. Absolutely killed it once again ✨✨✨

9/10

One point off because Aldous snoring hurt my ears and we don't have an option to kill him. My god he snored like that and then had the audacity to ask us to feed him ????
(⁠┛⁠◉⁠Д⁠◉⁠)⁠┛⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

... Anyways I pretended he was still in his Mr.Crow looks when he asked us to feed him because feeding a bird man seems better than feeding that snoring old man 🫣

He better have his snoring off for the rest of the three days and nights we serve him or i swear to god I'll prove that he cannot trust the "new servant" 😤

Aldous be prepared .. as soon as I find a knife in a drawer....

I just did my second play of the demo - I approached it with the mindset of attacking every single item in the demo in hopes I missed something: 🕯️ A light in the hall
🕯️ Matches for the candelabra
🕯️ Sugar for the hand in the wall
🕯️ A loose button on the cat's chair
🕯️ A black and white photo that refused to sway on its nail
🕯️ A pipe to throw towards the gutters or windows - linked my full tweet https://x.com/NinaMoss_M/status/2044160054891557113?s=20 - fully unhinged fun!

[sly phoenix]

Hi! Just re-played the unity version of Servant of the Lake. And I've got a few thoughts about it.

The amazing things I've noticed:

• I've noticed that the new unity engine has brought a much more fluent and delicate animation effect.
• ||It's so meticulously detailed that Aldous's flesh on the ear gets cut off on the side of the last slice.||

Some issues I've found (my thought):

• ||I felt that the timing of the flute-like sound at the beginning of every chapter is inappropriate. It feels like a bit delay with the scene. I've expected it should have appeared along with the scene frame title.||
• ||I think the frequency of Aldous's belly rising and falling animation is too fast when he is sleeping, which doesn't look like the natural rhythm of sleeping. Also, the belly movement doesn't match the audio, making it look a bit odd.||
• When clicking on the settings menu, the game does not pause, the sound effects are still playing, and the ||character's dialogue is still ongoing.||
• ||When sliding the dial puzzle in Aldous's room, the sound effect unexpectedly resembles Aldous's snoring, creating a somewhat sticky and unpleasant experience.||
• ||In the sound effect of the crow's call in Aldous's room, there seems to be a background noise of static, which I suspect may be due to the sound file being too old or having a low bit rate.||
• ||When Aldous does his left and right stretches, the lines on his body are not continuous.||
• The playback of the Rust Lake Main Theme in settings menu seems a bit abrupt. I think it would be better to reset the timer every time when you enter the settings menu instead of keeping it running silently in the background. Of course, this is just my personal opinion.
• ||It seems that there is an breathing in sound at the end of the flute-like sound effect.|| I'm not sure if this was intentional or if it was forgotten during editing.

Hope my thoughts are helpful. Cheers!

OMGOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!! I can already tell this is going to be my new favorite rusty lake game! It took me a bit to find the secret but I did and I loved it!!!!!!! You guys are one of my favorite game creators

[lusty prism]

Glad you like the demo Feel free to leave the review if you can and want, it helps the team a lot

[stiff bison]

I really do love the demo, but there is one issue - the translation, specifically in Swedish. I don't have any problem with just playing it in English, but I can see others having a harder time if they don't understand English. For example, some of the lines in the Swedish translation just don't mean the same thing, which is pretty easy for me to pick up, because I both hear the English audio and see the Swedish text. The second problem is that at least the Swedish translation has mixed both Swedish and English, for example the recipe, where the majority is in English, but some things are in Swedish.

[vapid ibex]

what parts in particular do you find to be a problem?

[stiff bison]

I can find it pretty misleading in some situations. For example, when I was guiding someone through the demo, the line "Still waiting for my fee" got translated to "Still waiting to be freed", so the person I was guiding thought that he was stuck. It's really nothing big, but it can make the experience less vivid

[vapid ibex]

ah yes I see

[versed ingot]

Very happy to be back in the Rusy lake Universe.

[round thistle]

Maybe it's just me, but I think the latest patch of SotL demo reads the touchpad incorrectly (Win10). I cannot navigate between screens unless I double tap; and I can only drag items from the inventory, but not select them. Physical buttons and mouse work all right.

[vapid ibex]

Mhm yes, Im also struggling with item selections, arrows work fine for me but zooming in is not working unless I use touchpad buttons rather than the touchpad itself.

[vapid ibex]

@round thistle Does your laptop also have a touchscreen by any chance?

[round thistle]

No...

[vapid ibex]

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

[thick canopy]

While I'm VERY thankful that more volume settings were added, I think there's still room for an "Ambient" volume setting (even more now that the ambient noises have been enhanced) Currently, I believe they are in the "Music" setting just like in UB. It may work for the tracks that only play once (like in UB) but a little less for the ones that are looped since (mostly in the level where ||we make the porridge||) the ambient sounds will overlap with the music and make it a little less pleasureable to listen + The ambient sounds are either as loud or louder than the music, but I don't want to suggest lowering the ambient noises because they still bring immersion. So, concluding this, adding an Ambient volume setting would allow everyone to enjoy both worlds

[lime sundial]

The lite demo on android is excellent, and the secret too it is already in my android wish list

the demo is pretty much flawless. The only thing that kinda bothers me is that sharp wind instrument noise after the logo... my dog shares the same complaint...

Hello! I’m playing SOTL demo now for the first time (I love all of the rusty lake games), but I don’t have any audio or music playing. I tried reinstalling, resetting and changing the settings but it doesn’t work on my IPhone 13 Pro running IOS26.3.1

[vapid ibex]

Heya! Are you sure your device isnt muted?

[stiff owl]

No it wasn’t, but it was muted because of the notification slider being on silent, with the other rusty lake games this isn’t an issue though.

[vapid ibex]

ITs a unity quirky!

[stiff owl]

It works now with the slider up!

[quaint stratus]

Hey Rusty Lake team! First off, I absolutely love your games — the entire series is such a special experience, thank you for all the amazing work you do!

I found a small localization bug in Underground Blossom when I completed one of the game's endings. On the ending screen, the main text only showed the raw code string bkmEndTxt1 instead of the proper Chinese ending text. The two buttons on the screen ("给我们评分" and "继续") are translated correctly, only the main title text is missing the Chinese localization.

I'm not 100% sure which exact ending this was, but it was either the Lab ending, or the "Best Preserved Memory" ending. The rest of the game had perfectly working Chinese translation with no other issues, only this ending screen had this problem. Screenshot is attached below!
