Order of the Sinking Star, a massive puzzle game by Jonathan Blow, launched on October 8, 2026. It features over 1,000 puzzles blending mechanics from four indie games. While praised for its intricate design, critics note weak narrative elements and visual clutter. The game's release is overshadowed by Blow's controversial political views and the original creators' distancing from him.
Jonathan Blow’s ambitious puzzle game, Order of the Sinking Star, launches on October 8 after a ten-year development cycle. The title features approximately 1,500 puzzles and a voice cast led by Emily and Liam O'Brien. Developed using a custom programming language and engine, the game blends mechanics from four distinct free games into a single, non-linear experience across four worlds.
Arc Games announced that Order of the Sinking Star, Jonathan Blow’s new puzzle title following Braid and The Witness, is coming to Switch 2 later this year. The game features four interconnected worlds, 1000+ puzzles, multiple playable characters, and a narrative-driven, exploratory “living puzzle” experience that evolves as you progress. Blow says Switch 2’s portability fits the game well, and Arc Games calls this its first Switch 2 release.
