Wilmot, the beloved character from the popular puzzle game Wilmot’s Warehouse, is back with a sequel titled Wilmot Works it Out. This time, instead of organizing a bustling warehouse, Wilmot will be relaxing at home, completing jigsaw puzzles. The new game aims to provide a more laid-back experience, allowing players to unwind while solving puzzles delivered to Wilmot’s home. The sequel will offer enhanced customization options, letting players decorate Wilmot’s house as they progress through the game. The much-anticipated release date is set for October 23, with a demo currently available for eager fans to try out.
When Wilmot’s Warehouse was first released, it quickly gained a reputation for its soothing organizational puzzles, which allowed players to decide how best to arrange items for optimal efficiency. The original game’s success was attributed to this unique blend of strategy and relaxation, making it a favorite among puzzle enthusiasts. In contrast, Wilmot Works it Out shifts the focus to a more leisurely activity, possibly broadening its appeal.
A New Take on Puzzle Solving
In Wilmot Works it Out, players will tackle sixty different jigsaw puzzles, delivered via mail to Wilmot’s residence. As players complete these puzzles, they can hang them up in picture frames around Wilmot’s home, unlocking more rooms and additional customization items. This new approach maintains the core puzzle elements while introducing a homely, decorative aspect to the gameplay.
Developers’ Expertise
Richard Hogg and Hollow Ponds, the developers behind Wilmot Works it Out, have been busy since the original game’s release in 2019. They brought out I Am Dead in 2020, a puzzle adventure game, and Flock earlier this year, an open-ended adventure game that received positive reviews. These titles showcase their ability to create engaging, puzzle-oriented games, adding credibility to the upcoming sequel.
Comparatively, the new game’s direction mirrors trends seen in recent titles by Hogg and Hollow Ponds. I Am Dead focused on exploratory puzzles, while Flock emphasized a relaxing, adventure-based approach. Wilmot Works it Out seems to integrate these elements by allowing players to both puzzle-solve and decorate, ensuring a well-rounded, enjoyable experience.
Given the developers’ track record, Wilmot Works it Out promises to be an engaging and relaxing experience for fans of the original and newcomers alike. The upcoming release on October 23 has created a buzz, and the available demo provides a sneak peek into what players can expect. As the game combines familiar elements with new features, it could set a new standard for relaxation-based puzzle games.
