  • gameplay4 mentions

    The gameplay of Emerald Lake is visually impressive and offers engaging variations on the "find the key" mechanic, complemented by well-crafted scripted encounters. However, players have reported significant issues with stability, as many experienced frequent crashes and lengthy loading times, resulting in only a fraction of the gameplay being actually playable.

    • “It's visually extremely well crafted and manages to keep you interested with enough variation on the 'find the key' mechanic and enough well-made scripted encounters to fill its runtime.”
    • “When checking out YouTube videos of the gameplay from July 2020, Emerald Lake appeared to be in a semi-playable state.”
    • “I recorded an hour of gameplay and after cutting out all of the game crashes and loading screens (which were a couple of minutes each), only 25 minutes of the 60 minutes was playable.”
    • “Easy to break down the gameplay.”
  • story3 mentions

    The game features a compelling story and setting, but it is marred by an unpopular escort quest involving a wounded character who struggles to navigate the environment. Overall, while the narrative is praised, the escort mechanics detract from the experience.

    • “The lack of a graphical options menu has made the game unplayable for me.”
  • music2 mentions
