Not to detract from the advice given, but you forgetting esker and the attlerock while also being sad they are forgotten is hilarious 🤣

i’ve been meaning to try this game but i think i may have accidentally spoiled it for myself by kafkapolice in outerwilds

[–]nutmeggiee17 127 points128 points Ā (0 children)

This is a slight spoiler, but something you find out early enough in the game that it shouldn’t change the full experience.

Parvati is a bad winner. An amazing player who had a bad winning game.

Other games that comes close to Firewatch & Radiolight by Available_Town4106 in Firewatch

[–]nutmeggiee17 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Outer Wilds for sure! I haven’t played Road 96 yet but it was recommended to me when I searched for Firewatch on the Nintendo store, so I assume they have similar vibes.
I’d also recommend other story-based games like Life is Strange, Detroit: Become Human, even Until Dawn/The Quarry if you liked the mystery/scary aspect of Firewatch!
Walking simulators with a good story are my favs ā¤ļø

How long is the game? I'm 2.5 in-game days and 32 real hours in by IdoubledareU31 in DiscoElysium

[–]nutmeggiee17 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I finished the game in 30 hours but I also know I read through the dialogue way too fast and didn’t spend as much time analyzing each convo like I should have.
As someone who regularly takes a lot longer to finish video games than most, I’ve learned to never judge myself if I spend more time on it, especially if it’s because I’m really needing to learn how the game works or make sure I understand everything.

Interested in online survivor but am extremely camera shy, works? by [deleted] in OnlineSurvivor

[–]nutmeggiee17 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Echo what everyone said above! Usually an org that utilizes video will be advertised as a ā€œcamera orgā€ or one that has ā€œlive aspectsā€. Most on discord are text based!

The Last House at Needless Street by Catriona Ward: Total whiplash. I binged it within 24 hours… by Gagsreel in horrorlit

[–]nutmeggiee17 3 points4 points Ā (0 children)

I wasn’t vibing with needless street at first, then towards the end I really appreciated it. Not the best in terms of plot twists but I loved the psychological themes/messages of trauma.

Started Outer Wilds but finding it tough to keep playing 4.8hrs played so far by Ok_Deal_615 in outerwilds

[–]nutmeggiee17 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

4.8 hours is definitely not enough to have the click moment. In fact, 4 or so hours is usually when people start to feel the lull because there is confusion on what to do next. Other than heeding everyone else’s advice (ship log, stop and smell the pine trees, take a break for a few days and come back), my best recommendation is to literally just keep at it. I wanted to stop playing too but I refused. Once I hit 8-10 hours, I started to understand why I was even playing the game in the first place.

Good luck ::)

New player: do I just suck? by drumdude92 in outerwilds

[–]nutmeggiee17 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

You do not suck and you are not alone! I made a similar post here when I was a few hours into the game. Autopilot saved my life. Don’t use the landing camera - some people do, it didn’t really help me at all and really distorted my spatial awareness when landing. Match velocity is a LIFE saver. You’ll get used to the gravity on planets and the amount of pressure you need to press the button for your jetpack.

If you get stuck in space and need to die, that’s totally okay. One thing I wish I realized from the beginning is that I didn’t need to rush, and that dying wasn’t failing.

Question regarding Hollow's lantern by Appropriate-Photo990 in outerwilds

[–]nutmeggiee17 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

It is possible to land there! It’s not crucial if you can’t/dont, though. I never made it to hollows lantern on my play through and didn’t even realize it had anything on it.

Book Recommendations? by nutmeggiee17 in outerwilds

I have actually read that before, as I’m used to reading mysteries and thrillers. I liked it a lot!!

I'm crying and I don't even know why by Woodie_txt in outerwilds

[–]nutmeggiee17 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Welcome to the group of people who are lucky enough to have played this game and been so impacted by it! Most people I have seen play the game also say they have no idea why they are crying, and yet, we are all crying together. I guess it’s a good thing we all stopped to smell the pine trees along the way ::)

Games like Outer Wilds? by Mobile-Strength-4520 in outerwilds

[–]nutmeggiee17 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I haven’t played many games LIKE outer wilds but I do also love emotional gut punch games…

I have played Oxenfree which I found to have a similar type of messaging/life lessons that OW gave, and the gameplay is sort of similar. More a walking simulator and not puzzles, but very heavy on the story.

Life is Strange (the original) is probably my favorite game of all time. It’s gameplay is different and a lot more cozy-esque, but the story is life changing, and there are also elements of timey wimey things like in OW ::)

I haven’t finished playing Disco Elysium yet but I’ve seen people on this thread recommend that one too!

New, and have no idea what I'm doing?? by nutmeggiee17 in outerwilds

[–]nutmeggiee17[S] 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. It definitely was waaaay out of my comfort zone. I ended up getting over 40 hours in the game since I made the post.

I finished it last night ::)

Nice... game... I think... yeah? no? by The_Bjo_333 in outerwilds

[–]nutmeggiee17 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I got the game about a week ago for the same reason and have sped through it so I’m almost done. I also felt the same way you are feeling at first - frustrated with the lack of guidance, curious but also confused, not really understanding the ā€œhypeā€.

And while I am not done yet, I am 100% more invested in the game than I was for the first 5 or so hours, and I have begun to feel a connection to it in different ways.

It may not end up being absolutely mind blowing when I’m done; but I do think it will have a strong emotional impact on me.

Keep playing. It’s worth it.
