There’s something about Rusty Lake, it’s irresistible to me in a way. It’s probably the weirdness of it all, and the fact I still can’t understand anything other than that the Vanderbooms had some god awful wallpaper. Roots was a longer instalment, the variety in puzzles going beyond anything I’ve played before—the overall aim was to collect body parts from the family for a ritual.

It’s because of the sheer volume of puzzles that some didn’t quite stick. Thirty-three levels with secrets that were only available at the end, that was a lot of stuff to do and definitely got the brain working. Some moments I even had to consult a guide, despite always trying my best to avoid them.
