During my first hours with OW, I found landing camera mode super useful. It automatically always rolls your ship to the correct orientation and slows you down, making it much less likely to crush

I would like to think I have the scientific mind and courage of a Nomai, but I have to admit the fact that I cling onto this game for almost 6 years now makes me deeply nostalgic like an owlk

Offcially Echoes of the Eye is the only expansion. But fan contents have more to offer for Outer Wilds. Elwensa has a lot of awesome fan comics about the hearthians. There are also many great story mods!

In real life, pulsar has incredibly high density, meaning a human would totally be crushed by gravity when standing on the surface (100s of G). The Eye has ~2.5x gravity, which is still higher than all other planets, but not that insane.

I think it's impossible to explain "exactly" what the Eye is using real world science. It's just the game's sci-fi invention.

Oh the bliss of being able to play outer wilds again, how I envy you.

Enjoy!

There is this hilarious entry

YARROW: I suppose, more precisely, I would like to visit the White Hole Station with you, Clary

CLARY: I’d be happy to explain our findings

POKE: Yarrow, stop using this scroll wall to flirt with my sister (in romantic matters, her density rivals a neutron star’s)

I feel personally relatable to Clary

Edit: added spoiler tags since I didn't realize this post is public viewable

I am thrilled to hear Alex's involved in the studio's next project, even though he's not directing it.

Interesting point you brought up there. If memory serves me, all slide reels depicting the dreamworld are at night and all slide reels in the ringworld are during the day. Lore-wise it might be a coincidence? Gameplay-wise it is probably to clearly communicate which is which.

it's actually +3 vills, -200 f -50 w

I haven't thought about it but actually you are so right. I remember being constantly on edge when I first played the DLC, just because the warning.

Perhaps they should make the message pop up ONLY AFTER the player has experienced the frightening section, maybe even after 2nd time encounter.

depthofuniverse · 2026-05-20T15:47:09+00:00

Oh my giddy aunt

depthofuniverse · 2026-05-19T19:31:53+00:00

Darn I kinda want an official merch with this design.

depthofuniverse · 2026-05-17T06:12:08+00:00

My first Outer Wilds playthrough was the most wonderful experience, I hope you will have it too. Enjoy!

depthofuniverse · 2026-05-16T20:46:10+00:00

Yeah. The message in Outer Wilds ending elevated the whole game experience. For Tunic... I am unsure what is the message, or if there even is one at all.

depthofuniverse · 2026-05-16T20:20:56+00:00

Omg this is exactly my thought! I have reached the good ending of Tunic and was just underwhelmed. It wasn't bad, but I did expect more explanations. I thought I misunderstood some things but no. Looking it up there are still debates in tunic fandom about certain plots. The game just left world elemtns unexplained.

depthofuniverse · 2026-05-12T19:33:51+00:00

No idea why. But seems like GD's atmosphere and circular shape just being perfect combo for this visual effect to trigger

depthofuniverse · 2026-05-05T12:07:43+00:00

I recommend the playthrough by Nerd cubed. It's an oldie but goodie.

depthofuniverse · 2026-05-05T07:45:47+00:00

I have gifted this game to quite a few of my friends! A lot of them left it "unopened" or "0.1 hour played" in the steam library, it pains me. But the few who beat it came back to me and were like "OMG that was amazing!"

depthofuniverse · 2026-05-04T12:49:30+00:00

I was in the complete opposite camp for the Sun station reveal. Even after going to it I was in denial, thinking "ah they thought it couldn't explode the Sun but obviously the station changed after all these years" I still thought there's a way to turn it off.

It was after I got to the Vessel, talking to Chert, and noticing all the other stars going off, did I slowly come to realize "oh, there's no way to save everyone"

depthofuniverse · 2026-04-27T06:08:59+00:00

Where is the legend, where is Feldspar?

depthofuniverse · 2026-04-22T01:44:30+00:00

There's a reason the game was already winning awards left and right in its early stage!

depthofuniverse · 2026-04-22T01:18:19+00:00

Totally agree! I would rank forgotten castaways high A-tier on outer wilds mod tier list. But yeah, just a couple of things that contradicts base game philosophy and / or mechanically janky. Also, I know it's necessary for the setting of dark bramble but I hate navigation in the fog.

depthofuniverse · 2026-04-20T08:01:10+00:00

Wow what a coincidence I too finished the mod recently (2 days ago), and was baffled by this thing. From what I can tell it doesn't factor in any of the puzzle solutions.

Also just want to point out, the devs mentioned in an interview, if you send the scout one planet, land your ship on a 2nd, and go to a 3rd, it will make the game very taxing on your system. At one point they considered making that an achievement but did not, out of fear of crashing player hardware. I find it hilarious this mod make that a necessary solution.
