MIO: Memories in Orbit

Om spillet

MIO: Memories in Orbit is a metroidvania from Douze Dixièmes. You play MIO, a nimble robot who wakes up in the Vessel, a huge ark drifting through space that now lies in ruins, overgrown with plants and rogue machines. The Pearls, its AI caretakers, have stopped working, and the Vessel faces shutdown. Exploring it brings back its lost memories and MIO's own past, and repairing damaged robots along the way earns bonuses and reveals more of the ark's history. The art draws on comics, paintings and anime, with a soundtrack of lo-fi beats and choral melodies. The Vessel is one large, interconnected labyrinth with its own ecosystems and secret paths. Abilities such as a grappling hook, air gliding and spider-like wall clinging open new routes, and getting around depends on precision and timing. You face more than 30 enemy types and 15 guardian bosses, among them the Mosquito and the Scarecrow, using the Hook to evade, orbs as projectiles and decoy clones. Components scavenged from enemies upgrade MIO, and Modifiers change your build, for example turning the Hook into a lasso or trading the Shield for more damage.
