Aldous and William Vanderboom
Rusty Lake’s press kit confirms that the game takes place in the Vanderboom house during the era of Aldous and William Vanderboom. The player serves the household while the brothers pursue their alchemical ambitions.
Alexandra
Alexandra is part of the game’s central household story. This page limits itself to the role shown in official materials; interpretation of her wider significance belongs on the spoiler-heavy timeline page.
Where the story sits
Official descriptions place the events decades before Rusty Lake: Roots. That makes the game a narrative prequel, but it does not make every community family-tree theory confirmed.
For theory and chronology, continue to the timeline and family tree, which is deliberately marked Reported.
