Pre-orders and pre-registrations are officially live across Steam, the App Store, and Google Play for Servant of the Lake, the latest premium entry from the creators of the Cube Escape series, The Past Within, and Underground Blossom.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price: Servant of the Lake is priced at US $4.99 \/ UK \u00a33.99 \/ NZ $7.49 on PC via Steam and US $3.99 \/ UK \u00a33.49 \/ NZ $5.99 on iOS and Android. A free playable demo, Servant of the Lake Lite, is currently available across all platform storefronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set decades before the dark events of Rusty Lake: Roots, the game transports players to the Vanderboom estate. Stepping into the shoes of the household&#8217;s newly hired servant, your objective appears straightforward at first glance: complete daily household chores, prepare the estate for incoming guests, and keep the eccentric family comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in signature Rusty Lake fashion, routine duties quickly spiral into surreal horror. From mopping up the aftermath of failed alchemy experiments to exploring hidden chambers within the mansion, every room presents unsettling riddles that piece together the family&#8217;s dark ambitions. Accompanied by a haunting original score composed by Victor Butzelaar, players must navigate daily tasks while facing one simple question: can you survive the weekend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Servant of the Lake officially launches on August 13, 2026, for PC, iOS, and Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Servant of the Lake - Official Narrative Trailer\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9y-zrOyDvw0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">\u00a92026 Rusty Lake B.V.
