Lake Ridden | Review | Puzzles, Ghosts, and Fog Covered Trees!

I play a lot of games for this channel, and when you have enough experience, you can usually tell pretty early on what you’re getting into. Some games you can surmise from their first hour that you’re in for a good time. While others you realize quickly that you’re in for a bumpy ride. Lake Ridden, however, is one of those titles that falls into a strange pattern of both. Throughout my experience playing this puzzler, I found myself unbelievably frustrated and then charmed by its uniqueness, and then frustrated all over again.
Lake Ridden is an indie puzzle game developed and released by Midnight Hub for PC on the 10th of May, 2018. And right off the bat, I had a hard time figuring out what I was in for. The marketing material and trailers I’d seen suggested a horror experience, which Lake Ridden is not. Oh don’t get me wrong: this game has got foggy hallways and ghosts a plenty, but we all know that the presence of ghosts does not a necessarily a frightening experience make. As I played, I started to get a solid Walking Simulator vibe from it. And while Lake Ridden has plenty of notes for you to collect and soliloquies for you to listen to, it’s really not that sort of experience either.
Lake Ridden is, in fact, a mystery puzzle game. And that’s good, because the puzzles and brain teasers are one hundred percent where this game shines. You play a young woman who is searching for her sister who’s gone missing in a mysterious locale with a mysterious past. As you work your way further and further into Lake Ridden, you learn more about its former inhabitants, and the strange events that took place there. And in order to move forward, you’ve got to solve some puzzles. A ton of puzzles.
