Paradox: A Rusty Lake Film (2018)
The most delightful surprise
I can't begin to describe how the Rusty Lake games make me feel. They're the perfect collision of some of my favorite things: Twin-Peaks-esque creepiness, point-and-click puzzles á la the Nancy Drew games of my childhood, complex storytelling, and cute birds (Harvey!!!). Every time a new game comes out, I'm thinking about the puzzles all day long and hearing the creepy backward voices in my head. I love being immersed in this universe.
I'm not into social media really, so I had no idea about the Kickstarter campaign behind this movie. It was the most incredible surprise to find waiting for me and it perfectly captures the Rusty Lake essence. It's everything I love about the games and slots perfectly into the universe without being too contrived. Perfect casting, uncanny recreation of the familiar environments, and delicious interweaving with the Paradox game. Outstanding work, everyone! Sorry I missed the opportunity to contribute to this project, but count me in for the next one!
