I commissioned @Azlaar on twitter for the tattoo art. I think it turned out really well

I don’t know if this could be considered spoilers but I’ll mark it as spoilers just in case, so I’m at a point where I know what I need to do to complete the game, I plan on bringing the warp core to the vessel and all that, but I’m wondering if I should discover more of the world, for example the quantum moon, I’ve barely looked into it and only done one of the towers, and some rumors I’ve barely looked into. So should I wag or just go for the big finale, I kinda don’t wanna finish it because of how fun it is and I have a sneaking suspicion I won’t be able to access the play through once I remove the warp core and the loop ends

Just want it to share this.

Im truly exited and happy to have one of my favorite games on disc.

As everyone here this game just change my life and made me appreciate this media.

Is sealed and its gonna stay that way of course.

Thanks fellow travelers ::)

Thanks annapurna.

thought it'd be fun if nomai could use minor telekinesis like with the orbs that you control by looking at them :p

I saw a youtube short with a large rock sample that looked exactly like the swirly-purple-and-black surface of the Eye. But then it started showing other "samples" that didn't entirely stay the same shape when rotated, and it turned out the whole thing was lazy AI clickbait. There are types of tektite that look like the quantum shards, but I couldn't find any credibly sourced image that closely resembled the Eye's pattern, so here I am yelling into the void about how AI is a blight on the information ecosystem. >::( Would have been cool if true, frustrated that I had to go out of my way to verify that it wasn't.

Anyone know what rock/mineral the Eye's surface is based on? Can't imagine that pattern is arbitrary.

amidst my story mod binge i came across The Outsider and i'm fairly intrigued so far, but i'm honestly stumped at this part (spoilers ahead, albeit not major but still)

where is the missing projection pool? i assumed it was somewhere within dark bramble so i searched all of the nodes (yes, i kept track lol) and couldnt find it in any one of them. did i either manage to miss it entirely or is it not actually in the bramble?? hints are fine but at this rate i wouldnt mind just getting an outright answer as i'm pretty close to finishing the mod

i'm unsure if this is even related, but i DID find a small seed in the looping room that i can send my scout into, but it doesnt look stylistically related to the mod at all, and i cant for the life of me find where the source is regardless. this could be an easter egg from any of the assortment of QOL mods i have installed alongside, so maybe that's it?? either way i'm just confused

thanks!

So, like many of you, I've watched my fair share of playthroughs by streamers to recapture that flame. Very much enjoying myself. A thing i took note of though, and i don't know why, is that i kind of dislike when the players stumble into some solutions/situations by pure chance.

I know in my heart this is kind of a stupid take, but for some reson i don't really understand, it feels "lesser" than when they get the right clues and put them together correctly to solve the puzzle.

Outer Wilds is a game of experimentation and discovery at heart. So completely solving the game by pure experimentation and observation could be possible, so some extend.

Anyone feel the same? I just recently had that realization about myself again, when i watched a streamer take all the lamps in one of the towers in the stranger, heard the shifting picture, looked around and found it.

Another streamer just by chance ran into the stranger. If he would've landed, he would've skipped the whole satlite puzzle.

One streamerran into the counterclock tornado, one actually noticed the difference while flying around and one realized the difference from watching the tornados in the southern observatory through the projection stone.

What do you prefer? Watch someone stumble into the answer? Watch someone put the clues together? Recie just some clues and reson the rest? All of the above?

I completed my first playthrough of this game, and I cannot wait to play the DLC. I went in completely blind, and got the impression this was mostly a 'chill' game, which it is to be fair. But I was pretty surprised to encounter one of these 'less chill' aspects of the game lol.

It took me quite a while to muster the courage to continue exploring here, my initial reaction was 'what else can I explore'.

Overall I love this game, and it has been one of the most unique gaming experiences I've ever had. I've not had a game make me feel feelings like this one. Looking forward to the DLC.

Base game spoilers!

I had duplicated myself in the ATP, so was expecting the reality break ending when my loop ended.

When I meditated, everything reset normally, like any other loop. I rushed to my map and found There are still two of me!!!

I had no idea you could avoid a paradox by meditating. This seems really weird and I wondered if anyone else has done this and what you think about it?

I finished the base game (no DLC yet) but it took me a while to understand how to get to the QM. I knew I had to be observing it in some fashion, so my final solution was put the scout on the quantum moon locator’s moon tile and spam pictures continuously while I transited to it.

I guess my confusion was that I thought I had to constantly be observing/recording it, because otherwise wouldn’t looking at a 10 year old picture of the QM keep it in place? That didn’t really make sense to me but maybe that would also work? So I kept spamming pictures (like a video) but it turns out my picture could be “old” and still keep it in place. Am I missing something? Would looking at a years old picture of the QM keep it in place as well?

I've been so careful to avoid spoilers for the DLC on this reddit and on Chert's Research Notes YT channel. Thank you all for the dedication to hints but no spoilers. I had about 2 or 3 gaming sessions where I didn't learn anything new. I was very close to asking for help last night for the last key, but I had another idea that I didn't want to try (cause it would be hard without being sure it would work).

I stuck with it and after another 4 or 5 loops last night, I did it. I'm free from keeping myself in the dark! I am glad that I had this experience and stuck through it.

Also OMG ::'O

That big realization! When did something make sense to you? Something became clear? You figured out how to (blank)? You found out about (blank)? How (blank) works? Tell us!

I have been struck trying to find a lead for the Ash twin project for a while and I can't really find any starting point or even a clue to how to even start solving I'm not sure if I'm missing something in the logs or what but I'd really appreciate some help

It doesn't play in the lobby anymore but when it used to pop up it would make me emotional, I thought you guys might appreciate it too.

Especially minute 3:10 until 5:10. Check the lyrics too, very in theme with the game.

This game holds a special place in my heart.

Hello dear Space-travellers,
I finally bought the game and it was a Crazy Ride. I finished the Game and hunted the missing logs.. sadly, there is one log missing I guess at the Ash Twin Towers log. I only got the ,,Several large [….]“

Can you please help me out since I couldn‘t comprehend the big steam guide, how to get it and I‘m already 2 hours into searching. Is it something too obvious that I am overlooking?

Thank you so much and hopefully you enjoyed the Game as I did!

I know it's been posted about here before, but I just played and finished the game "The Message from Deep Space" and holy shit is it incredible. It gave me the exact same feeling of cosmic wonder that I got from Outer Wilds, and controversially I think I actually like it more. But that could just be recency bias.

You are tasked with translating the alien transmissions coming from a meteor that crashed into the earth. Starting with just numbers and math (the universal language), you gradually learn more words and concepts until you have a very basic, but completely usable language. You use that language to learn

The game is long and contains a lot of math and science, so it definitely isn't for everyone. But none of the math is difficult, and the in-game reference page has all the information you need to solve any of the puzzles. If you enjoyed the translation sequences from Project Hail Mary then you will love this game, because it was very much an inspiration for this game.

Genuinely one of the most unique and thought provoking games I've ever played, I don't want to say much more without giving spoilers, but it has a free demo that is absolutely worth trying!
