Overview
- Thekla and publisher Arc Games announced Tuesday that Order of the Sinking Star will release on October 8 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Windows PC.
- A playable PC demo is available now through Steam Next Fest and its save data will carry over to the full game.
- Thekla and Arc describe the game as a vast puzzle adventure with more than 1,000 handcrafted challenges and a playtime scope that Jonathan Blow has said could exceed 500 hours to finish every puzzle.
- The announcement lists named outside contributors such as Alan Hazelden, Sean Barrett, Jonah Ostroff, Zach Polansky, Patrick Traynor, and Marc ten Bosch, and a PR representative confirmed full in-game credits and external listings on sites like MobyGames.
- The project has been in development for roughly a decade and the credits clarification may shape how contributors and players respond to the release given past public tension around Jonathan Blow and some designers distancing themselves.
