Evaluation
Rooms: The Main Building launched on July 11, 2014 as a complete, self-contained puzzle game featuring over 100 sliding tile puzzles. Post-launch activity was limited to bug fixes and a minor feature patch (adding a puzzle-building tool in August 2014), along with promotional posts for a separate sequel title, Rooms: The Unsolvable Puzzle, which launched on May 1, 2015. The last developer communication of any kind was a September 1, 2015 patch adding Steam Cloud support on Mac. There has been no developer communication since September 1, 2015, no unreleased DLC, no announced future content, and no post-launch content cadence beyond maintenance updates. The sequel announcements and cross-promotions relate to an entirely separate game on Steam, not additional content for this title. The game launched as a finished product and has received no content expansions at any point in its history.

About this game
Rooms is set in a dark and mysterious house called ‘Rooms Mansion’, the game plunges you into a virtual world based around 100 challenging sliding puzzles with a twist. In each room or level, you must think carefully and strategically navigate your character to the room’s exit by sliding sections of the room, the same way as a slide puzzle. Your character can walk from tile to tile, but remember that only the tile that your character is standing in can be moved.
In this parallel world you need to use an amazing array of unusual items and devices, including telephones that teleport you from one side of the room to the other and explosives, to break through brick walls or other obstacles. And watch out – some rooms are filled with water and will need to be pumped out!
After escaping each puzzle you will be rewarded with four golden puzzle pieces that are required to secure your way home.
The solution is only a doorstep away. Getting there is the easy part. Finding a way home will be the adventure.
