00:02Hello. I'm here to announce that our new game, Order of the Sinking Star, is coming
00:07this year to Nintendo Switch 2. It's a huge puzzle adventure where you explore a big overworld
00:14and drop down into different sub-games. I say sub-games because it starts out as an anthology
00:21of four different games. First, The Heroes of Hauling, a band of fantasy heroes who started
00:27a moving company and ran into trouble. A warrior, thief, wizard, bard, cleric, and druid, all
00:35of whom have different puzzle powers. In another game, The Mirror Isles, a wealthy trader is
00:41navigating this archipelago where, in a blink, the mirrors can swap him with his reflection.
00:48In The Promise, there's an explorer of deep caverns who uses giant gems to power beams of
00:54light, the different colors allowing him to walk through walls, smash boulders, or perform
00:59twelve different abilities in all. In Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes, there's a marooned
01:04sailor in a world of big stones that skip across the water, lily pads she can ride, and rivers
01:10she can redirect. You can play these four games in any order. At first, Order of the Sinking
01:17Star appears to just be an anthology of these games. Then we get to the real point of the
01:22game. The worlds collide, the characters meet each other, and we enter a complex universe
01:28where the objects from each world interact. What surprises happen when the wizard can teleport
01:33swap with whatever he sees in a mirror? What happens when you can mirror a fire-breathing
01:38dragon? What can you do by shining the colored beams on monsters?
01:43At this point, you travel the overworld to explore all the different ways these worlds can combine.
01:48The combinatorics are huge, and that generates many, many levels, and that's why there are
01:53over a thousand puzzles in the game. And the levels are fun. They're not a headache. They're
02:00not hard just to be hard. Every puzzle has something unique and interesting to show you.
02:05In the story, you'll find that all this world combining is being done by a mysterious organization
02:11called the Order of the Sinking Star, whose secrets you may uncover if you can get far enough.
02:18We'll share more information about Order of the Sinking Star, including release date and
02:23other details, over the next few months. Thank you for watching.
