Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.57/day in the week to Aug 10 → 8.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

All Rusty Lake games are great and well worth playing! Just grab one and dive in! As one of the older games in the series, Roots is a little rough around the edges in terms of quality of life, but the puzzles are just the right difficulty in my opinion. I found the main story to be easy at first, gradually ramping up, but never so difficult that I needed a guide (except for one minor part where I didn't understand how to work one of the game elements). The extra puzzles (after the main story is wrapped up) are quite a bit harder but still fun and interesting in terms of lore. For what it's worth, I recommend going up one branch of the tree at a time as far as possible -- the greater story is much easier to piece together that way. (Don't worry, though -- you'll be fine no matter how you approach it.)

难度还行 90可以自己解。剩下10问豆包也都解决了。 [spoiler] 傻逼豆包会给解题思路,方法。不过直接给的答案都是错的,且一直认错关卡 [/spoiler]
Ппц в нее надо было раньше играть, чем в некоторые части вышедшие позже. Здесь буквально рассказывается про семью Вандербум и кто кому является. Очень открыла глаза на многое эта часть. Из минусов игра до сих пор не переделана под пк и в окне, вайб телефонной игры остался, не эстетично играть не на весь экран
Absolutely loved this game! I love the art style of these games and the puzzles are always so fun to solve. Definitely worth the wait, I'm looking forward to the next masterpiece!
Un chouette jeu d'énigmes. Plus simples que Servant of the Lake, et plus sombre mais très satisfaisant à faire.

good
除了有个别花体的英语难以辨认,其余解密并没有太高的难度,作为一款十年前的独立解密互动游戏,简单的玩法,简易的画风也能带来优异的游戏性,悬疑的故事通过隐晦的叙事让绣湖更加的引人入胜,恒gn评分 8/10
Everything feel connect, a masterpiece with a lot of content and personnality.
