Rusty Lake Paradise is a dark, macabre, and utterly fascinating puzzle adventure. It’s the third premium entry in the series, and it might be their best yet. You play as Jakob Eilander, who returns to his family's island after the death of his mother, only to find the island cursed by the Ten Plagues of Egypt.
The game is unsettling in the best way possible. Each plague serves as a chapter, bringing a completely different atmosphere—from frogs falling from the sky to the water turning to blood. The puzzles are 'point-and-click' at their core but often involve bizarre family rituals and surreal logic that keep you guessing. The art style is distinctively 'Rusty Lake'—hand-drawn, eerie, and full of hidden meaning. It’s an immersive, grotesque masterpiece that puzzle fans shouldn't miss.

The gameplay involves finding items and using them in surreal ways—sometimes involving the literal biology of the characters. Pay attention to the background art for clues to complex codes.
While 'Paradise' is part of the larger Rusty Lake lore, it is a standalone story that can be fully enjoyed without playing the earlier titles.
