Fun little puzzle game to play with a friend, the puzzles weren't so challenging that you'd have to look up a guide, but just enough to make you think.

I really had fun time with my sister :)

A dark puzzle game with a co-player, a combination never disappoint me.

Fun puzzles albeit a little short. Ending makes zero sense if you haven't played the other Rusty Lake games though

I played this game with my girlfriend on two separate Android devices. You don't need any special connection like via internet or Bluetooth, just either be in the same place or a call. You can play it anywhere, as long as you don't look at each other's screen or you'll spoil the fun. This game is not for solo players, it's designed for teamwork. The concept of how two people can play this game together is very original and creative. The music is lovely, the graphics are charming and genuine. The game also creates a subtle sense of mystery and suspense. The story is like a small philosophical journey. It's short but satisfying. One player controls the past and the other controls the future of the same character, and they have to work together to complete the quest (you and your partner play each role). You can also switch roles and still have a great and different experience! There are two options for each role: a Bee or a Butterfly, which change the challenges and make the game more varied so a second playthrough could be enjoyed just as the first. It was a fun and delightful game.
