Chapter 1:
You can watch my video for Chapter 1 or continue below for my step-by-step guide.
1. Look under the TV and plug in the cable that isn’t cut.
2. Turn right. Lift the curtain to reveal Harvey the parrot. Look in the mirror to learn that you’re cold.
3. Open the left box on the dresser and take the key.
4. Examine the right box and solve the puzzle by sliding the tiles around so the symbols match the symbols etched into the box. It should look like the photo below. Then open it and take the photo piece.
5. Turn right. Take the photo piece from behind the framed painting.
6. Grab the cigar from the left table and place the photo pieces in the frame.
7. Look at the flyer on the right table. It says RUSTY LAKE MENTAL HEALTH & FISHING. Turn to the other side to see:
“We will help you balance the substance of your past lives. After completion of our mental health program you will feel reborn.”
And then: NOT THE BLUE VIAL! – D (as in Dale?)
8. Turn right. Flip on the light switch.
9. Take the jacket from the coat hanger.
10. Use the key to unlock the bottom drawer of the dresser and get a wooden cube/block. Open all the other drawers to get scissors, a pencil, and another photo piece.
11. Look at the typewriter. It says:
“I woke up in this room.
I felt different, less real.
Where is she?”
12. Use the scissors to cut off a twig from the tree.
13. Turn right. Check the left light for another photo piece.
14. Go back to the mirror and use the jacket with it. There’s a ghost! Your reflection also asks for a cigar. So give it to him.
15. Place the wooden cube in the slot on the dresser.

really? that game just release yesterday
take the cigar and continue to burn the drawings, then cut the sheet with scissors and overlap it at the top, use the typewriter to enter the letters found, after having repeated for another two times you will get the code 910 to be selected on TV . at that point go where there is the screen and move the face according to the direction of the eyes, you will receive a shred of fabric to be put in the case 23. I hope I have been helpful to you
then enter the codes you find in case 23 in the order of the letters DBAEC with the corresponding symbols, you will get a cassette, put it in the recorder and the parrot will fly away, you will get the third cube and the cabinet below will open
you will find a key with which you can open the door, exit and follow the shadow of the parrot you will find mr.crow that will give you a map, follow the x and points indicated by the stones moving with the map, collect the statuettes and proceed towards north of the map, arrive in front of a wall enclosure enter the three statues and proceed. congratulations, you have arrived at chapter 2. 😘
I can’t get past the globe map part even though it looks like the pictures in this walk-through and every time I back out to see if it worked, I have to restart the map
You don’t have to go back out to see if it worked. If you got it right, it will just clear.
help! i have a problem with moving the face, i move it without mistakes in the directions that eyes show relatively long, but nothing happens! is it a bug?
Help I have tried too many times
I’ve been having the same problem, every time I move (in the opposite direction) it says “the other way” going on for a long time now.
Actually for me it was where she was looking
Maybe for the update?
you have to move her face in the other direction than her eyes are pointing
Does it take long to get to the next part of the face puzzle coz I’ve done it for ages and no luck I have tried moving the face in opposite direction to eyes only when it tells you “the other way” and doing every time but it goes on forever can anyone help
Tia
I’ve been having the same problem. Been moving her face ‘the other way’ for a while now but still nothing.
The first movement is in opposite direction , you dont have to wait she say “move my face”.
When she says “the other way” you start the puzzle again. All the movements is in opposite direction.
I think they are like 10 movements in total.
Has anything changed? Or has she given you any message?
Setting the hour hand at 1 and minute at 8 or 9 (or hour and minute hand vice versa (sorry, I don’t remember)), opens the third drawer below the clock. This gives a key which opens the cabinet near to the cryptic machine near the TV. There’s a hat inside it, which then taken to the mirror and put on the head, gives another symbol. I don’t what’s the use of it till now. And I don’t know what the symbols in the name files mean too.
The time is 9:10 which I used for the tv also.
Editing my previous comment:
Setting the time at 08:05, opens the third drawer below the clock. This gives a key which opens the cabinet near to the cryptic machine near the TV. There’s a hat inside it, which then taken to the mirror and put on the head, gives another symbol. I don’t what’s the use of it till now. And I don’t know what the symbols in the name files mean too.
How did you know to set it to 8:05?
Im stuck at the globe where i gotta grapple the 2nd gree eye.i put the hook n rope first.i cant put the water in after though
Tapthe eye alot
Hi! I feel like that wasn’t it.. One of the drawers was still locked, and so was one of the little boxes under the clock.. Anyone found out what else could be done?
hi, someone help me please, how am i supposed to get the red cube (?) cause’ i have the brown and the glass ones but i don’t find the red one
It’s in the book on the shelf.
Im stuck in the boxes!!! the handle does not stay down and the water doesnt drain to the submarine help!!! Im a missing something?
You have to move the box with the gear underneath the box with the wine glass first so the pipes are lined up so the water has somewhere to go. I was stuck on that too.
Is there any kind of synopsis of the story of all the Rusty Lake games so far? I’ve played them all but there are so many that it is hard to remember how they all fit together to get us to this point. Like I feel like we’ve learned a lot about Dale and Laura’s respective backstories and their connection but it is almost impossible to remember by now.
Maybe this will help a bit?

does anyone know how to get past the shadow pile at the end to follow the map to the x ? the shadow just keeps coming at me..
You need to tap the weird spot on him that keeps moving. At least, I *think* that’s what did it.
I have the same problem. I keep tapping the weird spot, but it doesn’t work!
How long should the eye thing take?
Not too long.
I can’t gold the water? 😬😬
Ow got it 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

I can’t take the yellow cassette
When I color in the door drawing with the pencil, nothing happens. I’ve tried many times and ways, including exactly as in the walkthrough, the whole picture, etc. Help please!
Sounds like a glitch. 🙁 You might want to contact the developer.
Nothing is happening when I try drawing to fill in the man? The pencil leaves a mark but it won’t change like in the video walk through…!
