Evaluation

MIO: Memories in Orbit launched on January 20, 2026, after five years of development by Douze Dixièmes. The developer described it as a complete metroidvania experience — a self-contained story and world with no post-launch content roadmap, no DLC listed on the store, and no season pass or expansion announced. Since launch, the developer has released two patches: Patch 1.2 on February 6, 2026 (quality-of-life improvements, balance tweaks, and bug fixes) and Patch 2 on March 12, 2026 (hard lock and soft lock fixes, localization corrections, and a visual addition to the true ending). Both are maintenance updates, not new content. There have been no developer communications since March 12, 2026. As of July 23, 2026, that is the last official post. No DLC has been announced or listed. The game was presented throughout development as a singular, complete artistic project ("five years of passion"), and post-launch activity has been consistent with a finished product receiving bug-fix support rather than a game in ongoing content development. The game is now outside the recently-launched window, and the post-launch record — two bug-fix patches and then silence — is consistent with a shipped, complete game. There is no evidence of planned future content.

About this game

A mesmerizing, intertwined, decaying world awaits.

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.

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.

Delve into this mesmerizing metroidvania, as you guide MIO through the vast expanse of the Vessel. You won’t be alone on your journey. Repair damaged robots and help them to unveil the Ark's past and gain valuable bonuses. Interact with the environment to learn more about its past and memories. Unravel the dark secrets behind its tragic blackout. And let your curiosity guide you as you discover its many secret pathways.

Experience a magnificent world of breathtaking scenery and innumerable details. Inspired by comics, paintings, and anime, its universe is full of wonder and artistic curiosities. Let its unique and dynamic soundtrack, blending lo-fi beats and choral melodies, carry you through this captivating universe.

As a gigantic labyrinth, the Vessel is a true living organism, with its own ecosystems, bestiaries and architectures. Earn game-changer abilities, like grappling hook, air gliding or spider-like wall clinging, to help MIO progress through this twisted and interconnected space. 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. From the relentless Mosquito to the menacing Scarecrow, confront a variety of deadly adversaries each with their own distinct fighting styles and movement patterns. 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.

Enhance and customize MIO abilities by scavenging enemy components. Spice up your fighting skills with many Modifiers and transform MIO into a formidable force tailored to your playstyle. Would you make your grappling Hook a deadly lasso or an evade move? Sacrifice your Shield to boost your damage? It’s always your choice!

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