Rusty Lake Hotel is a surreal point-and-click adventure about a series of elegant dinner parties and the sophisticated diners who attend them. Your role, as a sort of ghostly maître d', is to ensure that all the guests are properly served, and I don't want to spoil things too much but I will say that if "served" in this context brings to mind a certain famous 1950s sci-fi short story, you're on the right track.
Hotel is the game that got me into the Rusty Lake/Cube Escape series, and it remains one of my favorites of the bunch. And now you can discover what it's all about yourself, for free: Until May 1, the full game is free for the taking on Steam. It's also been given a major update that adds a number of significant features, including:
- 18 new translations
- Steam achievements and Steam Cloud Save
- Fullscreen function
- And a way to replay each room!
If you give it a go (and I would strongly encourage you to do so) and like what you see, the rest of the Rusty Lake games are on sale for half-price as well, until May 3.
