Creator of the cult puzzle games Braid and The Witness Jonathan Blow is preparing to release his new large-scale project — Order of the Sinking Star. Ahead of the release, a documentary has come out detailing the game's lengthy development and the author's life journey.
A decade of work and exploration
After completing The Witness, Blow planned to spend only two years on the new game. However, development stretched out for an entire decade: the author managed to create his own programming language, completely rewrite the game engine, and reorganize the team. The documentary film covers events from Jonathan Blow's life — from his student years to his visit to Shanghai with the new game this July.
What awaits players?
Order of the Sinking Star will transport players into a mysterious world of unusual magic, dangerous mechanisms, and monsters. The project promises an impressive scale:
- Over 1,000 handcrafted puzzles;
- Dozens of unique gameplay mechanics;
- Hundreds of hours of mysterious and exciting gameplay.
The release of Order of the Sinking Star on the Switch 2 platform is scheduled for October 8, 2026.
