Unofficial fan guide · checked Oct 12, 2026
Jonathan Blow's 1,000-puzzle block-pushing adventure came out on October 8, 2026, on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2. Start North at the Crossroads, and leave any puzzle that blocks you: every direction is open from the start.
Fan-made and unofficial. Not affiliated with Thekla, Inc. or Arc Games. How we source our facts.
A party of movers: the Warrior pushes, the Thief pulls, the Wizard swaps places. The Bard, Cleric and Druid join later.
The Trader swaps places with his reflection in magic mirrors. Later you send objects through mirrors and clone yourself.
The Explorer powers coloured beams with gems. Standing in a beam lets you pass through walls, smash boulders or teleport.
A marooned Sailor skips giant stones across water and rides lily pads along currents she redirects.
Each guide gives the answer in its first lines, then the detail and the sources.
North, then East, then West, then South. After that, open the six Gold Rooms. Most players open Heroes × Mirrors (HxM) first.
Includes Steam achievement data showing how far players actually get in each world, plus first-pass tips for all four.
Read the walkthroughWarrior pushes, Thief pulls, Wizard swaps with what he faces, Bard charms monsters, Cleric shields neighbours, Druid transmutes blocks.
Every playable character in one table, plus monsters, beam colours and where sources disagree on names.
See every heroThere is no hint button. Unsolved puzzles blink pink on the overworld, and locked birdcages point to the puzzle they need.
Undo and reset controls, plus bugs reported on Steam (demo save resets, 0x11C7 launch block, the Mirror Isles achievement) and their fixes.
Get unstuckChecked October 12, 2026, against the Steam store page (opens external site) and the developer's Steam announcements. Prices and review scores change, so check the store before buying.
Each direction is a reworked version of an existing indie puzzle game, licensed and expanded:
Clearing a Gold Room merges two worlds. There are six pairings, and each one opens a combined area where both sets of rules apply. The walkthrough lists them in the order players open them.

We have not played the full game for this site yet, so nothing here says "we tested". Every fact comes from Steam, the developer's announcements, published reviews, or player reports on the Steam forums, and we name the source and date in the text. Puzzle-by-puzzle solutions are not posted here. We cover the questions that matter before you need one: where to go, what each hero does, and whether you are stuck or hitting a bug.
