[h3]What is MIO: Memories in Orbit?[/h3]
MIO: Memories in Orbit is a single-player metroidvania that blends challenge and breathtaking sceneries set in a vast and mysterious universe.
You wake up in the Vessel, a space ship drifting aimlessly in space. This enormous technological ark, whose initial purpose remains unknown, lies now as a field of ruins, overgrown with lush vegetation and machines gone rogue. And nobody knows why the Pearls, The Vessel's AI caretakers, have ceased functioning! Forgotten by all, the Vessel faces imminent shutdown. To uncover what happened to the ship - and to yourself - you will have to let your curiosity guide you as you discover the Vessel’s dark secrets and pathways…
[h3]When will the game be available?[/h3]
MIO: Memory in Orbit’s release date isn’t announced yet. However, you can already wishlist the game on Steam!
[h3]Can I try the game already?[/h3]

It should last between 1 and 3 hours and will give you a taste of what MIO has to offer. We’d be really grateful to receive your feedback on our community platform, Focus Together or on our Discord server. We’ll be happy to read, answer and perhaps help you, and we will be able to take your comments into account.
[h3]Here are the system requirements you'll need to play the Demo: [/h3]
[h3]Is MIO’s gameplay challenging?[/h3]
YES. Never judge a book game by its cover atmosphere… While MIO: Memories in Orbit may look serene at first glance, its gameplay will pleasantly surprise you and challenge you. Expect to die. A lot!
Don’t worry though: while the game will test your reflexes and patience, the satisfaction of mastering MIO’s abilities is worth every death!
Regarding the Demo, you can tweak the difficulty in Settings > Accessibility, if you’re struggling to progress in the game!
[h3]What is combat like?[/h3]
You will face off a diverse array of over 30 enemy units and 15 formidable guardian bosses. From the relentless Mosquito to the menacing Scarecrow, get ready to confront a variety of deadly adversaries each with their own distinct fighting styles and movement patterns. To defeat them, use your arsenal of powers to adapt to every encounter: evade foes using your Hairpin, unleash orbs as powerful projectiles, or even create decoy clones to strike from unexpected angles!
You will be able to enhance and customize MIO’s abilities by scavenging enemy components. Spice up your fighting skills with many Modifiers and transform MIO into a formidable force tailored to your playstyle. Would you make your grappling Hairpin a deadly lasso or an evade move? Sacrifice your Shield to boost your damage? It’s always your choice!
Fans of Hollow Knight, Celeste, Dead CeIlls will feel right at home. The game features exploration, challenging combat, and a deep, atmospheric world!
[h3]How’s the environment like?[/h3]
The ship is a vast, interconnected environment with multiple biomes, secrets, and shortcuts to discover. As a gigantic labyrinth, the Vessel is a true living organism, with its own ecosystems, bestiaries and architectures. You will need to master precision, rythm and timing, and also use a variety of abilities, like grappling hook, air gliding or spider-like wall clinging, to help MIO progress through this twisted and interconnected space.
