Arc Games and Thekla, Inc have released puzzle-adventure game Order of the Sinking Star, the highly anticipated puzzle game by lead designer, Jonathan Blow (The Witness, Braid). Order of the Sinking Star is out now on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Switch 2 ($29.99).
The announcement also revealed the game’s professional voice cast. Order of the Sinking Star features a ridiculously star-studded cast among fan-favorite voice actors, including Emily O’Brien (Death Stranding), Liam O’Brien (Critical Role), Anjali Bhimani (Overwatch, Ms. Marvel), Erica Luttrell (Steven Universe) and more.
Order of the Sinking Star features over 1,000 grid-based (also known as sokoban) puzzles spread among four primary paths and worlds, which players can tackle at any time, and in any order. As the paths collide, so too do the puzzles, and the stories and characters of each branch. Players are free to leave and revisit other paths at any time, and solve puzzles at their own pace as they uncover the game’s biggest mysteries.
Order of the Sinking Star is designer Jonathan Blow’s first new game in 10 years. He made waves in the indie gaming community after developing Braid in 2008, and then again with The Witness in 2016.
“Building this game, Order of the Sinking Star, has been an extraordinary collaborative effort lasting a decade, and it’s without a doubt the largest and greatest puzzle game I’ve ever worked on,” said Jonathan Blow, Founder of Thekla, Inc. and Game Director of Order of the Sinking Star. “From the puzzle designers who contributed to push the limits of what’s possible in a puzzle adventure to the brilliant voice-over cast and the fans who supported us along the way, we have all made a good contribution to the history of video games. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who helped shape this project over the years, and we’re thrilled to finally let everyone play it today!”
Order of the Sinking Star is out now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Switch 2. It’s rated E for Everyone with Mild Fantasy Violence.
