Rusty Lake Paradise is a bizarre ride that hooked me with its Biblical twist. Playing on my laptop, this premium point-and-click adventure follows Jakob Eilander, returning to Paradise island after his mother’s death, facing the ten plagues of Egypt—frogs, boils, darkness. It’s a 3-4 hour trip that’s unsettling and **** art’s stunning, with pastel hand-painted backgrounds by Johan Scherft. Each plague—swarms of flies, a bloody lake—has a distinct vibe. I stared at details like a frog-covered altar. The soundtrack shifts from eerie hums to chaotic strings; my cat knocking a mug mid-game startled me. Puzzles are creative, like trapping locusts or aligning stars in the Darkness plague. The Boils puzzle, popping goat sores, was gross but clever—I got stuck for ages. Mouse controls are decent, though some drags were **** story’s Biblical yet Rusty Lake, loosely tied to Roots and Hotel. It’s less narrative-driven than Paradox, which might disappoint lore fans, but the plague framework keeps it cohesive. Achievements and a secret ending add replay value. Some puzzles, like Hail, feel repetitive or vague, and it’s not as polished as Roots. Paradise earns an 8/10. It’s not Rusty Lake’s peak, but its gothic weirdness and brainy puzzles shine. Don’t expect all the answers.

if you are familiar with the Rusty Lake games, they are all beautifully bizarre. You come to them for the weirdness and this one does deliver on that front. Lots of odd little puzzles to see and well worth checking out.

10 levels. Around 3 hours of gameplay. Puzzles are of varying difficulty - some of them don't make that much sense imo. But still delightful game, does get a bit repetitive by the end.
