Mio: Memories in Orbit

Mio: Memories in Orbit follows MIO, a nimble robot who wakes aboard the Vessel, a drifting technological ark now filled with ruins, lush vegetation and rogue machines. Its original purpose is unknown, and its AI caretakers, the Pearls, have stopped functioning. With the Vessel facing shutdown, you explore its depths to restore its lost memories and uncover MIO’s past and destiny.

Explore the Vessel

The Vessel is a vast, interconnected labyrinth with its own ecosystems, bestiaries and architecture. You interact with the environment to learn about its history, search for secret paths and investigate the secrets behind the ark’s blackout. The world draws on comics, paintings and anime, with a soundtrack that combines lo-fi beats and choral melodies.

You can repair damaged robots and help them reveal the Vessel’s past, earning valuable bonuses along the way. As you progress, you gain abilities such as a grappling hook, air gliding and spider-like wall clinging, which help you navigate the ark. Precision, rhythm and timing are central to moving through its spaces.

Fight and adapt

You face more than 30 enemy units and 15 guardian bosses, including the Mosquito and the Scarecrow. Each has its own fighting style and movement patterns. Use MIO’s abilities to respond to different encounters: evade with the Hook, fire orbs as projectiles or create decoy clones to attack from unexpected angles.

Scavenge components from enemies to enhance and customize MIO’s abilities with Modifiers. These let you tailor your fighting skills, such as turning the grappling Hook into a deadly lasso or an evasive move, or sacrificing the Shield to increase damage.
