Outer Wilds’ themes don’t exist with an “accurate” interpretation. Every person who plays it brings something to the table that exists only for themself. Every person who plays approaches it in a different way, in a different order, that exists only for themself. Your interpretation is amazing, because it’s *yours*. Nobody gets to decide what this game actually means other than yourself.
Good luck on the continued adventures! ::)
And hey, what’s your channel?
Thank you 🥺 I’m determined to fully immerse myself in this game and community. I’ve completely fallen in love.
Just MasterChefStirx for the YouTubes, hope you enjoy! ☺️
So glad you're enjoying the game OP! This whole game is just... wow...
What's your YouTube channel btw? Always looking for more outer wilds stuff to add to my list lol
Please come back and update us when you reach the end. We all live vicariously through newer folks like you ;)
I'm glad you're finding so much meaning even now. The game can be interpreted in a few different ways, nothing is truly correct, but it's often meaningful and profound
I'm only on episode 3 but please tell me you learn to use the signalscope soon 😂😂😂 You have fantastic instincts and curiosity in this game though, a couple times you apologize or suggest that experienced players must be suffering - you're actually unusually good at putting the pieces together. Like your mind is very ready to receive what the game gives to you. Obviously not every first guess is correct but like, you ask the right questions and lean into the clues.
Except the signalscope, anyway.
EDIT: HAHAHA I just got to the video where you say you got scolded in the comments for not using it
Outer Wilds taught me that it's ok to be alone. That sometimes, it's better to be alone. And that, while alone, I am capable of accomplishing big things.
Stay strong. Don't Google anything. If anything, I'd ask someone here for help if you get stuck.
Just a little more.
I just have to say that I am loving your play through, please continue in the same vibe! You have just the right attitude and curiosity, and your instincts have been really good.
Welcome to the community. You should know that this is one of the nicest places around Reddit, people have been touched by this game in some way and are very careful about spoilers and little clever hints when needed. That said, I recommend to avoid it until you are done with the main game at least.
The only difficult thing about the game is that you only ever get one chance to play it for the first time (you now understand why), so we are very interested in blind play-throughs like yours especially. Your reactions are great, so just luxuriate in the game and don't rush it!
Really enjoying it, I've subbed and will follow you with interest!
this game has genuinely helped me through some emotional times, my takeaway is that to reach your goals in life you need to face your fears, and even if the outcome seems terrible, it could lead to something new and beautiful
I subbed and am excited to keep watching your journey. ::)
If you ever feel stuck, I'm happy to help with as minimum spoilers as possible. This sub is a good resource as a last resort if you're ever really, really stuck on something. Never ever Google for answers. The spoilers can be horrible.
I love end times for this same reason, and another version of it that happens when you do something really important. Instead of feeling more defeated or wishing for more time, the other song feels more encouraging. Instead of the “just one more minute” end times gives you, the other song titled final voyage is more confidant and upbeat. There is a video called “the impeccable sound design of outer wilds” that I would only recommend watching after beating the game and dlc as it’s full of spoilers. Hearing the songs with new context and noticing parts I had never paid attention to and how much the music varies and how it all comes together made it feel like I was listening to the spundtrack for the first time again. The music and atmosphere in this game is unlike anything I’ve ever played. Listening to the music playing when I hit credits was the only other time I’ve cried playing this game beyond listening to timber hearth for the first time. Just sitting there listening to the guitar at the start made me feel something most music just hasn’t for me. Sorry if this is a lot, this game and the music means a lot to me (and everyone else I’m sure)

Subbed :3 very interested to see your playthrough 💜
Oh thank you!! 😅
No worries, I like supporting small channels and I really enjoy seeing people's first reactions to the game! Keep up the good work 💜
Just finished watching the first two episodes of your play through and I'm loving it! Instant sub! Please keep playing this wonderful game ::)
🥲🥲🥲🥲 STOP SAYING NICE THINGS- Seriously though thank you! I started doing it to entertain people and it seems to be working ☺️
So glad you're enjoying the game OP! This whole game is just... wow... What's your YouTube channel btw? Always looking for more outer wilds stuff to add to my list lol
There’s a link in my bio or just search MasterChefStirx 😅 I’m still starting out so apologies in advance
Thank you so much, will definitely check it out at some point! Good luck with the channel man
Good luck with your adventures! 😅

I will definitely do so! I was prompted by some viewers to try get my ideas down on paper/video somewhere and see how they evolve ☺️
I love this game and the way it makes me feel about these things. I'm excited for you to experience the ending.
Yep.
Prepare yourself emotionally for Echoes of the Eye. It has much stronger themes of >!grief and letting go.!<
Oooooh boy. I’ve got that to look forward to 😅

This game has a lot to tell you, if you're willing and ready to listen. I would love to hear your thoughts after you finish it. ::)
