Embargoed until Monday, 11th August at 2pm BST

11th August, 2025 – Welcome to Orbyss, a visually stunning, mind-expanding logic puzzle game where strategic thinking and creative problem-solving collide in a world of light and shadow. Developed and published by Misty Whale, Orbyss invites players into a mysterious, bioluminescent realm where thinking ahead, switching between Orbs, and bending time are the keys to restoring light to a world under siege.

In Orbyss, you are a luminous firefly of energy, navigating from Orb to Orb to solve intricate puzzles and push back a growing darkness. You’ll combine mechanics like time-freezing, drone flying, and sound-based puzzles (with full accessibility support) to overcome shadowy threats and restore harmony to your fragmented world.



“Orbyss is about transformation - of the world and of your own perception,” says Game Creator, Yannick Audéoud. “I wanted to create a puzzle game that feels logical but alive. Each room is like a poem of precision - no pixel-perfect jumps, no stress, just pure mental flow.”

Inspired by the likes of Portal and Tron, and featuring music from Pierre Estève (Atlantis series), Orbyss offers a meditative yet intense journey through 40+ handcrafted puzzles, punctuated by atmospheric cutscenes and dramatic boss encounters.
