ARDORBIT's Poreia is a 3D puzzle adventure for PC. Players guide a small robot named Soma through a ruined city, using magnetism on objects marked with an EIDOS pattern to pull, lift, stack, and launch them. The demo at BIC 2026 introduced a shadow monster called Skia that reacts to sound, plus flashback scenes and a story about lost memories.
Poreia opens with Soma waking in a junkyard, holding only faint memories of family. He walks through a city where decaying English signs evoke real metropolises, and old posters and broadcasts still praise an AI called IDEA, hinting that people once trusted it with their prosperity.
Magnetism works only on objects bearing the EIDOS pattern. Lighter objects can be pulled, lifted, placed, or launched. In the early alley stage, players move boxes to clear paths and stack footholds, then repair Soma at a city machine after collecting three parts. A spherical robot named RS1 later joins the journey.
Underground, magnetism pulls Soma toward heavy EIDOS objects, sending him flying. There he meets Skia, a shadow monster that attacks robots and reacts to sound. Players crouch or move in stop-and-go patterns to avoid it, and can throw boxes to lure it away. The demo ends with an escape from pursuing Skia.
ARDORBIT is a team of eight university friends who started development about a year ago. The demo supported Korean and English, and Japanese support is under consideration.
