R.O.O.T. is a puzzle game that utilizes the Slide mechanic:
Units move on the mainboard.
Units can generate and transmit Signals.
Signal can connect Units and activate them.

As more Units connect together, it becomes Unit chains. Those chains will activate more Units, and activated units can generate profits.
 
 You have the option of saving up profits or using them to increase the number of Units in your production line. It’s up to you!



Don't forget your time is not infinite. The concept of time is different in R.O.O.T., You can take as long as you can to consider your next move, but how many moves you can take is restricted.
 
Another crucial mechanic is called the Phase. It will track the number of moves you've already made. You must perform different actions during different phases.

The game isn't just about finishing tasks. Soak in the role of Bert Griffith, the new guy in RavenTech. As your curiosity drives you to dig deeper into weird things that happened recently, you feel the truth is more than meets the eye.

Or you can forget about all that, follow the story, and complete tasks one by one as the game tells you to, will you?
