Thekla's 'Order of the Sinking Star' Sets October 8 Launch

Thekla announced on August 18 that Order of the Sinking Star, Jonathan Blow's puzzle adventure, will launch October 8 on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch 2, and PS5. The game features over 1,000 puzzles across four vast worlds, with playable characters including a thief, warrior, and mage. A demo is on Steam.

Thekla has set a release date for its long-gestating puzzle adventure. Order of the Sinking Star arrives October 8 on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch 2, and PS5, with in-game Japanese language support planned. The project first surfaced as a prototype at Reboot Develop 2017, and the studio has now confirmed a launch roughly a decade later.

Players control a queen exploring four vast worlds, entering puzzle stages that use dozens of mechanics. Characters such as a thief, warrior, and mage each bring unique abilities, and some stages require switching between multiple characters to get everyone to the goal. A demo is currently available on Steam.
