Servant of the Lake Launches on Steam and Multiple Platforms
Servant of the Lake (AppID 3636770) is now available on Steam, having also launched simultaneously on iOS, Android, and itch.io on August 13, 2026.
The game returns players to the Vanderboom Estate, a setting that developer BloodRaven's studio — operating under the Rusty Lake banner — has wanted to revisit since releasing Rusty Lake: Roots in 2016. The project was first teased as a hidden reward inside The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show during a 10-year anniversary event roughly a year before launch, visible only to players who found all in-game secrets.
What the studio has said
- Development spanned approximately 2.5 years and grew substantially beyond the original scope
- The game incorporates narrative, art, puzzles, music and sound design, a voice cast, translations, and unspecified external collaborations
- It originated partly from brainstorming around Rusty Lake Untold, a pen-and-paper project
- A partial playthrough by a player called Soff is available to watch on the game's Steam page
The developers describe Servant of the Lake as one of the most ambitious productions in Rusty Lake's history — a claim grounded in a decade of franchise context that now has a release to back it up.
