Evaluation

Wayout launched on November 4, 2016 as a complete puzzle game featuring 100+ handcrafted levels across 6 chapters. The developer (then operating as Konstructors, later rebranded as Hook Games) released one notable post-launch update on March 23, 2018, adding 10 bonus levels that unlock after completing the main game. That appears to be the last update made to Wayout itself. Subsequent developer communications shifted focus entirely to other projects — most notably Anomaly Hunter, a separate game — with no mention of further Wayout content. The studio's last reference to Wayout was that March 2018 patch, and no roadmaps, DLC announcements, or promises of future updates have been made. The game shipped as a self-contained puzzle experience and has received no content additions since March 23, 2018.

About this game

Based on Lights Out gameplay, WayOut goes beyond that and brings great variety of level shapes and mechanics into it. Each level has the same goal - switch off all tiles using the least amount of moves. Test limits of your brain by perfecting each puzzle. Let your mind be your guide in meditative and relaxing, yet challenging, journey.

According to Zen philosophy, game has minimalistic UI - no timers, score or move limit labels. No distraction, just you and puzzle.
