- Jonathan Blow started a new project after completing The Witness in 2016, initially intended as a short proof of concept for a new engine and programming language.
- The project, Order of the Sinking Star, has now been in development for nine years, far exceeding the original timeline of 1.5 to 2 years.
- Order of the Sinking Star features around 1,400 puzzles and could take completionists 400 to 500 hours to finish.
- The game is built around 2D, grid-based navigation puzzles with four distinct variations, each offering unique mechanics.
- Variations include block-pushing puzzles, teleportation/cloning via mirrors, stepping-stone path-building, and an exoskeleton with moveable energy beam abilities.
