About MIO: Memories in Orbit

About this game

A mesmerizing, intertwined, decaying world awaits.

Awaken MIO, a nimble robot with extraordinary abilities, and unravel the mysteries of the Vessel, an enormous technological ark overgrown with lush vegetation and machines gone rogue.

Nobody knows why the Pearls, The Vessel's AI caretakers, have ceased functioning. Forgotten by all, the Vessel faces imminent shutdown. Dive into its depths to revive its lost memories, as you unravel your true past and destiny, in this mesmerizing metroidvania.

Will you rise to the challenge and save the Vessel from destruction? Will you dare to seek and wake its memories?

  • Explore a captivating universe, full of wonder and artistic curiosities. Interact with the Vessel’s environments to learn more about its past and memories.
  • Earn game-changer abilities to help MIO progress through this twisted and interconnected space. Climb walls like a spider or float through the air with your Glide power. Master precision, rhythm, and timing to find the perfect flow!
  • Face off a diverse array of over 30 enemy units and 15 formidable guardian bosses. Use your arsenal of powers to adapt to every encounter. Evade foes using your Hook, unleash orbs as powerful projectiles, and even create decoy clones to strike from unexpected angles. It’s always your choice!
  • Enhance and customize MIO abilities by scavenging components. Spice up your fighting skills with many Modifiers and transform MIO into a formidable force tailored to your playstyle.

Yeah, it looks like a game where you play as a cute robot... but this is a brutally hard precision platformer with soulslike boss battles. The devs have addressed issues post-launch and I definitely think it's a unique experience as a game... but if you dislike precision platformers or harsh boss battles you may not enjoy this ones. Especially since the story is French-tragedic.
