The Loop Is Broken. The Gap Is Closed

It's the only Rusty Lake game you can play with a friend. It is a co-op game that you can play either in the future or in the past. A network connection is not a must, but you need a means of communication to give each other the hints you find around to proceed the game. The story is about Rose, who will carry on her father's Albert Vanderboom plan. Help her through multiple puzzles with your friend to unravel the mystery.

This new experience is exciting, especially with the cooperative puzzles that can be played cross-platforms with your friend. One of the players will play the classic 2d with a creepy atmosphere like how all Rusty lake games plays, and the other will have the 3d mode where he'll have a huge cube with multiple puzzles which can't be solved without a friend's help. There is no in-game chat, you'll have to use either discord or any other communication mean.

I always enjoy games' atmospheric soundtracks, and this one was no different. The music fits the creepy atmosphere well. I also liked the concept of this game, which you'll understand by the end.

Pros:
+Interesting side of Albert Vanderboom and his daughter Rose.
+Co-op gameplay (Two players must play the game, and is cross-platform, with no need for an internet connection)
+Good soundtracks.
+Variety of puzzles.
+Eeirie atmosphere.
+Steam achievements.
Cons:
-The story could be confusing; you must play the series' other games to understand it.
-No hinting system. Sometimes, you get stuck and don't know what to do next.
Although the game is short, the experience was good, and some of the parts were surprising. I highly recommend playing both sides to understand the story more. Each side's gameplay takes about two hours, for a total of four hours to beat the game. Some of the achievements are tricky, though. You might need a guide to get them all.
