As a longtime fan of the series, Underground Blossom is an absolute masterpiece. The gameplay is wonderfully intuitive, and the puzzles are designed with brilliant logic that organically enriches the narrative rather than just stalling it. Rusty Lake managed to make a story that is rich, emotionally resonant, and surprisingly easy to follow. Every single detail feels meticulously thought out, and both the ending and...
This game is such a good find. I seriously mean it, because I discovered the entire Rusty Lake games because of this. 🤣 The puzzles have enough difficulty wherein you will have to use some thinking, but not to the point where you'll get stressed.
