Arc Games, a leading publisher of AA and indie titles for PC and consoles, and Thekla, Inc. are excited to launch Order of the Sinking Star, the massive, highly anticipated, enigmatic puzzle adventure led by award-winning game designer Jonathan Blow (The Witness, Braid). Order of the Sinking Star is available now on PC via Steam and Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 for $29.99!
To celebrate the launch, three special bundles are now available on Steam at a 10% discount. Players can pair the massive puzzle adventure with a deep cat-tactics roguelite by getting the Order of the Sinking Star + Mewgenics Bundle, or opt for the Order of the Sinking Star + Animal Well Bundle for those looking to jump into atmospheric, secret-filled worlds. Additionally, the Order of the Sinking Star + Original Soundtrack Bundle offers the full game alongside its original soundtrack, which is also sold separately.
After a decade, Jonathan Blow is finally back with a brand-new puzzle adventure that mixes uniquely distinct mechanics to create unexpected results and challenge how you think about puzzle games. Explore a realm of curious magic and ravenous monsters in this massive experience that seamlessly intertwines an epic, colliding tale with more than a thousand handcrafted challenges, hundreds of hours of gameplay, and a slew of surprises along the way.
To shepherd players through this enigmatic journey, Order of the Sinking Star features a fully voiced ensemble cast of fan-favorite talent. The massive puzzle adventure’s voice cast includes, Emily O’Brien (Death Stranding) as The Queen, Liam O’Brien (Critical Role) as The Warrior, Darin De Paul (Overwatch, Marvel’s Spider-Man) as The Wizard, Anjali Bhimani (Overwatch, Ms. Marvel) as The Bard, Erica Luttrell (Steven Universe) as The Sailor, Matthew Waterson (X-Men ’97) as The Druid, and a special appearance by award-winning game designer Jonathan Blow.
Take the helm of a motley crew of heroes and experience what happens when their worlds collide. Designed to respect players’ boundless curiosity, Order of the Sinking Star delivers a deeply satisfying, “just one more puzzle” gameplay loop — while its open-ended, interconnected world gives players total freedom to solve puzzles at their own pace.
As you venture into intercardinal regions where puzzle mechanics collide, you’ll piece together a deep mythos through exploration, cryptic notes, and professional voice-over narration from a talented cast of actors. Whether you’re a major puzzle fan or a newcomer, the game’s non-linear, open design ensures that hitting a challenging roadblock in one realm simply means you can pivot to another world and return whenever you are ready.
“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!”
