Order of the Sinking Star Brings 1,000-Plus Puzzles to PS5 After 10 Years

Summary
Thekla’s Order of the Sinking Star is set for PS5 later this year, with a hands-on preview outlining a puzzle adventure built around 1,000-plus puzzles, 900-plus levels and multiple endings.
Three main regions in the demo each center on different character abilities—pushing, pulling, swapping, beam-casting and reflection tricks—while a rewind system lets players undo moves as Sokoban-style challenges escalate.
The game’s key twist comes when characters from separate worlds begin combining powers across realms, expanding puzzle design well beyond the early overworld and tutorial structure.
A fourth area was absent from the demo, but Thekla says the game still has hundreds of hours of play after roughly 10 years of development by a team of about 20.
