Moth Lake is a classic arcade-type puzzle game that has hooked its audience through the music, visuals, and narrative content that motivates players to uncover the thrilling and horrific secrets of the characters and the City of Moth Lake. With the kick of a psychological thriller and the spice of a comedy story, it has over over 500K+ downloads, indicating that this is a worthwhile game to play.

The game starts with a nightmare in little Cameron’s bedroom, when a monster appears in his closet trying to get hold of him but suddenly disappears. After a while, the monster appears again, but this time it’s under his bed and when it wraps its arms around him, it covers his mouth as he was trying to scream for help. Luckily, he wakes up and the tutorial of the game starts. 

When Cameron interacts with an object or a person, there is a shiny golden moth that hovers above his head, indicating a hotspot for characters to interact with. You can re-read the past conversations by pressing H on a PC; on a smartphone, a book button is at the top of the screen. Once Cameron is outside of his bedroom, you will be accompanying him to the bathroom. The game does not indicate the bathroom’s location, so you will need to look for it.
