Rooms The Unsolvable Puzzle Announced
SEOUL, South Korea – March 23, in the year of our Lord
2015 – HandMade Game, an independent Korean developer
dedicated to artistic craftsmanship, today announced that Rooms:
The Unsolvable Puzzle, the sequel to its award-winning adventure
puzzle game Rooms: The Main Building, has passed Steam
Greenlight and will launch on PC, Mac and Linux this spring.
Combining aspects of platform gameplay with classic sliding
puzzle mechanics, Rooms: The Unsolvable Puzzle transports
players to a mysterious mansion where they must solve puzzles
room by room to escape.
A new story and untold new challenges await a young girl, Anne,
who stumbles upon a mysterious mansion filled with different
rooms. As she enters each new chamber, she’s faced with
increasingly complex challenges, all with a singular, simple
goal: to find her way to the exit. Testing her wits, Anne must
rearrange panels of the sliding rooms, uncover special tools and
pitfalls each room holds, and continue her progress through the
massive, enigmatic mansion.
As her journey through the rooms continues, the tale of the
cryptic Toymaker unfolds—while his motives remain shrouded in
question. Some rooms have locked exit doors in need of a key;
others require ladders to scale the platforms of her confines.
Other rooms bring even more mystical instruments like
teleporting phones and wardrobes, while others require a
specific pattern to protect Anne from hazards like murderous
puppets that come to life when their parts are joined. With 144
unique rooms laid out in the four separate mansion sections,
Anne will need to use every resource at her disposal to solve
the unsolvable puzzle and find her way out!
"Rooms: The Unsolvable Puzzle builds on our original game in
every way to create a deep puzzle adventure with mystery, a
slowly building sense of challenge and a true feeling of
accomplishment with every level solved," said Jake Jonghwa Kim,
Creative Director of HandMade Game. "This a game we are
extremely passionate about and hope that fans will enjoy when we
release it this spring."
HandMade also revealed plans to offer a discount for the
original hit, Rooms: The Main Building, with the purchase of
Rooms: The Unsolvable Puzzle to introduce new players to the
award-winning franchise at launch. The first title in the series
has sold over 400,000 copies. Rooms: The Unsolvable Puzzle won
the 2014 Art Prize at Indie Stream festival, an indie-publisher
connection event in Tokyo, Japan.
Published by HandMade Game and co-developed by Kuno Interactive
and HandMade Game, Rooms: The Unsolvable Puzzle is slated for
release on PC, Mac and Linux via Steam.
