Reference FAQ

What is Order of the Sinking Star?

It is a single-player puzzle adventure directed by Jonathan Blow. It combines exploration, unique playable heroes, and more than 1,000 interconnected handcrafted puzzles across four mysterious worlds.

Where does the game data come from?

Official listings support the release facts, premise, and basic systems. Map group counts and route references come from independently collected community snapshots and are labeled as research data rather than an official completion checklist.

What happens when information is unconfirmed?

Unconfirmed mechanics and routes are marked as pending, moved into draft coverage, or kept out of public search indexes until they can be verified.
