Renowned game developer Jonathan Blow has spent a decade crafting his new title ‘Order of the Sinking Star’, featuring 1400 meticulously designed puzzles. The game is built on a grid-based navigation system where players explore a puzzle world in four directions: pushing and pulling blocks, mirror teleportation, stone jumping, and exoskeleton energy beams. During development, Blow leveraged the financial success of ‘The Witness’ to pursue the perfect fusion of algorithms and design. The game is expected to release in 2026, requiring 400-500 hours to complete. The first ending can be reached within 60-100 hours, with additional hidden content. Blow emphasizes the combinatorial explosion of puzzles, showcasing the depth and complexity of the game’s design.
