Rusty Lake : ROOTS

Begin by selecting a portrait on the Vanderboom family tree to enter a specific character's life chapter. Use your mouse to click on characters, objects, and the surrounding environment to interact, search for clues, and collect inventory items. You can drag and drop items from your inventory sidebar onto interactive elements in the scene to trigger events and solve puzzles.

Progress through the generations by paying close attention to environmental hints, numbers, and symbols. If you find yourself stuck, systematically examine every item in your inventory and look for subtle changes in the environment or character expressions. Success requires logical thinking and a willingness to engage with the game's bizarre, macabre logic.
