Four worlds: directions, heroes and Gold Rooms

Quick answer

The September 23 announcement maps four paths from the Overworld. Choose a branch by its puzzle system; the publisher describes no single required route. The table covers the announced full game, not a census of the current demo.

Confirmed characters

The main store names a queen, thief, warrior, wizard and talking boat. Their presence does not verify every ability attributed to them in community summaries. Our reference records link a named character to the evidence available, rather than assigning an unsourced move set.

Gold Rooms: how worlds connect

Reveal solution / story details

The publisher says clearing Gold Rooms connects pairs of worlds, producing six combined areas. Exact unlock requirements and room coordinates are not established here.

Keep an observation separate from a theory

For your own notes, write what moved, what stayed still and which hero caused the change. Put a not yet tested explanation on a separate line. This is a suggested way to study the announced interacting systems, not a hidden rule supplied by the game.

Find a matching demo route

Use the Mirror Isles atlas for its 23 illustrated starting layouts. The Heroes guides cover eight recorded rooms; The Promise guide covers one recorded route. Compare your room before following a solution. Skipping Stones has no verified route here yet.

These route limits remain separate from the full-game announcement. A matching world name alone does not establish that an older demo solution fits your room.
