The puzzles were fun and just the right level of difficulty, and the new notebook mechanic was super helpful closer to the end of the game.

Rusty Lake games have an instantly recognisable art style, and Servant of the Lake is no exception, with its stylised and minimal cartoon visuals making use of the signature bold outlines and solid colours in a heavily muted palette that contrast with the more artistic style of things such as the view from the house, or the paintings on the walls.
