MIO: Memories in Orbit, a stunning metroidvania planned for 2025, revealed at Nintendo Direct

After their first indie game, Shady Part of Me, a poetic and moving fable that won critical acclaim, Focus Entertainment and Douze Dixièmes are excited to renew their collaboration on MIO: Memories in Orbit, a new SF odyssey that combines metroidvania and unique art direction. As robot MIO, players will explore and conquer the Vessel, a gigantic and mazelike spaceship, to save it from extinction.

A dangerous and mesmerizing world to explore

You are MIO, a nimble robot with extraordinary abilities. 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.

Delve into the heart of this technological labyrinth to revive its lost memories, as you guide MIO through the vast expanse of the Vessel. Unlock new powers and abilities to explore new areas, face off against a fearsome bestiary, and set out on a quest to unlock the secrets of the Vessel.
