Greetings! This is a guide to completing all five levels and unlocking all 23 achievements. I'm getting better at writing these, but I'm still fairly new to this. Sorry if it sucks.

I am writing guides for every game in the Rusty Lake franchise by following the recommended playing order. If you came from my Cube Escape Collection guide, links will be provided to the previous and next games when necessary. If you're just here for Rusty Lake Hotel, feel free to ignore these.

A video walkthrough is planned in the future. Stay tuned!

With that out of the way, let's stay a few nights at the Rusty Lake Hotel. I've heard the dinners are to die for.

---

Grab the five shrimp cocktails from the reception desk and serve one to each guest. Once night falls, pick up the phone. Finish the call and take the mushrooms from Mr. Owl's portrait.
Achievement Get: Mushrooms
Use the elevator and enter Room 1.

Items: Take note of the stamp on Mr. Deer's research plan. Grab the key from behind the left end table and the canteen of vodka behind Mr. Deer. Turn around towards the door and grab the bucket on the table. Check the drawers for some matches and take the glass jar from the grinder.
Puzzles: Find the values of each weight using the scale and put the code (3531) into the box by the windows to get a knife. Cut Mr. Deer's antlers and collect the blood in the glass jar, then fill the glass with blood and vodka. Interact with the antlers on the mounted deer skull until tabasco comes out of the nose and collect some in the empty canteen. Grab the rosemary on the left antler.
Achievement Get: Rosemary
Open the left window, tie the bucket to the rope, lower it and raise it back up to get some water. Unlock the cabinet and pour water into the containers. Move water between the three containers (10-5, 6-10, 5-6, 10-5, 5-6, 6-10, 5-6, 10-5, 5-6, 6-10) and take the eight deciliters of water. Open the right window, refocus until the butterfly is on the windowsill and attempt to stab it.
Achievement Get: Albert's Way
Refocus until it's on the sill again and catch it with the glass jar. Place the butterfly in the frame and interact with them in the right order using the code above the science equipment (from left to right, 213322) to get a seed. Plant the seed in the dirt cup, water it with the bucket, light the candle and cover the cup to get poisonous seeds. Replace the glass jar on the grinder and grind the seeds into poisonous powder. Put the eight deciliters of water and the poisonous powder in the lab setup, then light the candle to make poison. Put the tabasco and the poison in the glass and give the glass to Mr. Deer. Interact to make him drink it, then refocus to kill him. Take the meat.

Play the cup game by Mr. Rabbit to get an eye (there's no set answer, it's randomized). Give Mr. Rabbit his hat and line up the flowers according to the painting to the left of the chained box (purple, red, white, orange), then move Mr. Rabbit's head a few times to get a key. Flick the lever on the box below Mr. Owl's sketch and stab the hand before it closes the box. Take the ring from it. Drop the ring in the glass box to receive a key. Place the four cards with the other two on the sketch and arrange them based on the symbols. The A5 sketch has two clues, the hand sketch has one, the Mr. Owl sketch has one and the Magic Show flyer has two. Make sure you look at the Magic Show flyer to see the stamp. Place the cards in order (from left to right and top to bottom, two, four, five, ace, eight, king) and move the five of clubs to get a key. Unlock the chains and open the box, place the triangle stone in its slot, close and reopen the door, place the eye in the skull, then close and reopen the door twice to find three swords.

I believe I have everything covered so far. However, in case there is anything I missed, or you have suggestions to improve on this guide, please let me know in the comments. Any criticism/help is welcome and strongly encouraged, even if it's something small like a spelling/grammar error. :)

Thank you for taking the time to read my guide. You did it! Why not relax for a bit?

Maybe have a Bloody Mary or two. It's my special recipe. :)
