11:50 coming back after the dlc this is a perfect question
11:50 i think the dlc gave this question a whole new answer
4:48 Sunglasses, real-life astronaut helmets and two-way mirrors all work on the principle that one side of the transparent barrier is darker than the other side. This means that the light being reflected by the transparent barrier totally overwhelms the light coming from inside the barrier, so the surface appears completely reflective.
Astronaut helmets also have a thin layer of gold coating them to protect against radiation, which gives them their gold colouring.
Nice tidbit, never knew that about astronauts
It’s interesting- I had a theory for a while that Dark Bramble was situated in a totally different system, and that the entrance in our system simply warped us to the main bit elsewhere. It made sense concerning the Anglerfish origin. However, based on how the supernova still hits, I don’t think it’s the case.
I feel like your theory still holds up. The blast from the supernova could simply enter the seed through the hole in our solar system and spread out amongst the entire network of seeds. That's how I always rationalized it.
Even better, the many seeds that exist inside the other seeds would spread the supernova in all sorts of directions from within Dark Bramble. I mean, it would first hit Dark Bramble as it went through the seed in Timber Hearth, then once again once it entered through each of the OG Dark Bramble's entrances, then every time the explosion reaches a new seed inside Dark Bramble's realm or whatever, it would spread across it's internal spaces. I mean, for all we know if there are other seeds spread across different systems, maybe the supernovas hitting all at once would completely obliterate that place. Poor Feldspar.
Maybe Dark Bramble is an explanation as to why all the stars are going supernova simultaniously. Since a supernova at one would spread to all locations. However, there would need to be multiple and separate Dark Bramble networks. Especially since we can only exit Dark Bramble in our own system.
I Love that we now know the answer to the question of why the I stopped and hitting its signal. It never stopped. It was just blocked by the strangers.
8:00 Its possible chert means on a Brachistochrone trajectory (like what autopilot does). Hearthians might not have developed the proper knowledge of orbital mechanics to intercept an object as extremely far away as the Eye (given they never needed to learn that because the solar system was so small). The idea of an intercept or a straight ballistic trajectory might just be out of the question for him.
He also could be totally wrong about how far away the eye is.
Yeah I think the eye is much farther than we think it is, so far we can’t even see it. Now in this latest patch you can fly so far away towards the eyes distance and still see the sun, further than 50km they said the sun is still visible, which looks very cool
You can catch and outrace the probe so easily that I don't think there's a good gameplay explanation.
Gameplay wise i think its mainly because there is no way to tell what direction they eye is in for the average player.
Sure if you're dedicated you could use the stars especially the last groups left to figure it out but most players either lack the skill or dedication to do so
11:41 ok this clip here actualy shows the supernova getting in, the swirl frost effect is the ash twin "forcing" you back as a safeguard(gameplay wise) for surviving the supernova or flying away
czcams.com/video/824BMlGPcrs/video.html
Yes. The swirl effect on our mask is just that. And if i just removed the atp core youd be see it better(dont make videos late at night), but you still see the supernova break in just before our helmet effect hits in this video.
Not a safeguard. The swirl happens because as soon as the last bit of memories is send through everything that happens after wouldn't be send backwards. So your character only remembers as much as up to the closure of the black hole.
@@Blubbpaule but essentially that old you is now adrift in the endless space. Bit like how you take the energy core out.
Great video! Been watching things in preparation to play again and it was nice to see a newer video, I'm glad this game is still just as captivating as it ever was. Might have to watch your Subnautica stuff now too since I didn't get along with that game gameplay-wise.
This is really fun to watch, can't wait for the dlc! Love ur content, keep it up
And the dlc for Outer Wilds is here, yay!
Great video, does a great job explaining all these confusions. Now im sure I will understand 100% of the dlc on my first playthrough no problem.
That’s actually a really cool reasoning behind the quantum moon and the shards! It makes sense too
I think the golden screens used in the hearthian helmets and ship cockpits might be another borrowed technology from the nomai- specifically their gold fluid projection stone stuff. Theyare both gold and the hearthians might have used this weird projection tech in order to show the HUD and map pins and such while you are wearing the suit! But it could also just be a coincidence, and that they are unrelated technologies that both happen to be gold... But i personally think its modified projection stone technology!
Naw. Its a good thought but like I said the gold on the helmet is real world science. Our astronauts have those as well.
With flying to the eye I think that remembering the probe took over 9 million tries to reach it and where we don’t actually even know WHERE it is in terms of distance. The probe just keeps going “yes/no” until it finds the match then it sends coordinates back, I think that the chances are so tiny that you would actually find it even if you got the probes speed and went straight for 22 minutes that you just wouldn’t find it so the devs just made it impossible
In the games code I imagine the eye is a totally separate scene hence the warp so it probably isn’t ACTUALLY doing a quantum orbit. Same as the moon is probably it’s own separate scene and probably isn’t actually taking place in real time at the locations the temple claims it to be at
Thanks for answering my questions ^^
I love the fact that you can still make fresh content about this game even after 2 years. Will you make videos about other games that you're passionate about in the future?
Hey Danny! Thanks! Yes! I plan to cover other games. I covered the first subnautica you can find on my channel. And the next game I plan to cover is a game called claire de lune! (id cover subnautica below zero bud....i dont really like its story(
@@TheLoreExplorer I've been putting off Subnautica for a while but I think you convinced me to try it next. Claire de lune sounds awesome too! I enjoy your detailed breakdowns so keep it up! I'll surely tune in.
I feel I should warn you on subnautica. At least for me, the gameplay was fun enough but bordering tedious. If you dont like resource gathering games it may not be for you! But I REALLY liked the story there. Glad you like my content and thanks for letting me know. People underestimate how encouraging kind comments are! Thanks again Danny.
@@TheLoreExplorer I can be a hoarder in games that encourage this behaviour (although irl it's terrible) so maybe the resource gathering part won't affect my experience that much but thanks for the heads-up!

I did not know that jellyfish planet fact! Thanks!
Thanks for answering my question! :)
Of course! Thanks for asking!
I can't get enough of this game
Dark bramble can easily be likened to kudzu, it soreads invasively across anything it can.
12:15 well we have that answer now
in the footage playing while you explain that the ash twin project eventually gets destroyed by the supernova, the protagonist is not shown being killed by the supernova, but rather they were sent to the beginning of the loop because the warp core was not removed from the ash twin project
I know. You can clearly see the suns effects burst through just before the fade out though. That character would die, even if we dont see it.
Outer wilds and Hypnospace outlaw are the best indie games I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing!
Great video as always, clear and interesting to listen to, even for the questions I already knew the answers to!
However one question, "why can't you reach the eye from the sixth location", got me thinking.. the quantum moon is visible on the eye sometimes, so could it be possible to reach the moon's sixth location from the eye ? I know its gravity is too strong and all, but assuming you could find a way to mod the game to deactivate that somehow ?
Yeah. Youre able to go there if you use mods. But its not the normal qm. It just holds something that needs to be loaded in later.
@@TheLoreExplorer Thanks !!
I just realized something. The would have only held a few Nomai. Maybe 50-100. And the vessel got stuck. As we know there were still other Nomai at the time to vessel the vessel warped into DB. There would still be other Nomai out there. That means that there is a chance that there are still living Nomai Out there in the Universe if the Hearthians keep looking. I honestly really hope that there are still living Nomai in distant Solar Systems.
Have you ever been able to get close enough to the eyes signal to scan it with your signalscope
Hey thanks for answering my question! (By the way, my question was a joke question)
Mine as well lol
I wonder if the quantum moon splitting off of the Eye is the event that causes the Eye's signal to start being emitted (or the Eye's signal going out causes the Quantum Moon to break off).
I would say one fair criticism of the game is its lack of hearthian culture represented. We learn so so so much about the nomai, it fuels the entire game. Then the hearthians get one village with several people (ik its abstracted but).
It would be nice to see an update that makes it more apparent that hearthians at the very least have settled the entire planet. Maybe you could add a hearthian music festival somewhere that you could visit. or find fishermen in a timber hearth ocean
Inside the Ashtwin project, there are three active masks. One is linked to Gabbro, one linked to me... soo who is the third individual aware of the time loop?
Nobody. The third active statue is for the probe tracking module. That way the probes data can be sent back in time along with the planned nomai memories.
@@TheLoreExplorer Ah, that makes sense. Thank's a lot.
You’re welcome bud.
late comer, but i finished the game 2 days back, and was scouring for lore/reasons etc. :D
my theory (not lore) on the eye of the universe and whether we can fly to it conventionally, and why the quantum shards appear across the system. the soundtrack at the end is 14.3 billion years, which is what ties my theory together, it is the age of the universe.
the eye - this universe is finally coming to its actual end, with no more possibilities of warping, travelling, exploring, living etc. Basically, the big bang is running out. the game might be saying there is no end at all, one end leads to another beginning. at the end, a final black hole appears, that warps to a white hole in a new universe. this white hole, is the big bang of the new universe. the black hole to this white hole (the big bang) is the edge of the universe, the end of spacetime (etc.). clearly, this can only be seen when the expansion stops.
this is sort of backed up by the ending of outer wilds, the ending is a new explosion, signifying a new universe. the reason the signal of the eye of the universe is eerie and weird on the signaloscope, is because it is new, unexplored, dark and scary.
can we fly to the eye conventionally - if we look at the eye of the universe, it is the end of the big bang, the edge of the universe, and no object with mass can travel to it. this is where the quantum moon comes in.
the quantum moon requires constant observation, basically a way to continuously be aware of the how things have come to an end, but also towards the myriad of possibilities that exist. only when these two thoughts exist in tandem, can we move forward.
basically, the game (i want to hope) wants to say, stay in the present, know all your past, but know the possibilities of the future.
for the time loop, (this one gets philosophical), is that they might just be at the brink of discovering the new universe, at the cost of their civilisation. that one idea, is what they wanted to preserve, and pass on to the future (we know they are deeply caring about future generations), they put all their energy, lives, love, knowledge (and humour) into creating a small tear in space time, so that their knowledge gets repeated, over and over, they stopped spacetime, hoping one of the infinite possibilities of us (the player) might be able to figure this out, and enter into the eye of the universe intact.
why quantum shards appear across the solar system (this gets more philosophical and romantic) - i’m calling the eye the end of the universe, but it is basically knowledge (of keeping both the past and the future in your sights), given that this was observed by the nomai, the shards are pieces of that knowledge shattered (but recorded) across the solar system (maybe the universe). it is knowledge, it is the written word (kind of like books), where all emotions are written down once, and they stay. interpretations will be different every time you read it. the game also shows that the first sign of curiosity and something new that the nomai discovered was that the shard moves every time no one is looking at it.
9:40 I thought the ghost matter hit when Solanum was already checking out the 6th location at the place where she was standing. And while she was still there her other 5 possibilities died from the ghost matter blast. And when she jumped into the "eye" to return home then she actually didn't cause otherwise she would land on the south pole of another location but that can't happen cause she was already dead there. So she could never leave. So she simultaneously stayed on the 6th location like she never left. I'm thinking that because when you jump into the eye on the 6th location you will fall down on the south pole of any of the 5 locations, just where her body (and her alive body on 6th location) is. And she had to travel on foot to even reach the 6th location so she had to have enough "alive time" on the moon to get to the 6th location so it can't have happened when she just arrived on the quantum moon. This aint a waterproof theory but I think it makes more sense than "ghost matter happened as soon as she landed on the moon".
I suppose its hard to say when and where it all happens. When we land on the moon and stop observing it we entangle with it. When solanum dies. She technically stops observing everything. And so she couldve entangled and became quantum. This causes the other 5 quantum versions. But luckily for her. One wouldnt have died from the gm. She wouldnt really have to travel there on foot or need the time to do so. She wouldve split right where shes standing. At the same pole on all versions of the qm. Which is where we find her. Imagine her just shortcutting the quantum tower because she was able to unobserve everything by dying. I feel like if she naturally made it to the 6th location then that version of her would be certain. The other 5 wouldnt be there to die. But of course I could be wrong
3 questions:
1. Feldspar says the anglerfish are territorial and they avoid each other... so why do we have THREE of them clumped together at the entrance to the red seed?!
2. Why is Brittle Hollow intact at the start of the loop? Has the planet been intact for the 5 or so million years, and only now it started falling apart? Oh yeah - how the hell did a BLACK HOLE form inside a planet?!
3. The Hourglass Twins make no sense. How does one planet send sand to the other? I can't think of any way where that could actually happen.
Those are the anglerfish eggs. So probably Multiple mommas trying to protest their young.
Inside the hollows lantern it’ll tell you increased sun activity has multiplied
The bombardment many times over.
They are tidal forces that’s what would happen if the moons gravity were strong enough to steal our oceans. How exactly they reverse I’m not sure. It may have something to do with binary systems sharing a center of mass.
if a normal run us 22 minutes - and staying inside the ATP you live a little longer, what is the runtime if you stay in ATP? Is it an extra 10 seconds? or like 2 minutes?
Stupid question right here: Why after the first loop, when Slate asks you the launch codes and you say you already got them, he won't ever ask them again? Could it be a sort of memory?
I think its just a gameplay thing to let the player know what just happened. After that it would just get old and serve no purpose.
Gameplay Convenience at best.
Yeah I know, I just hoped it could be explained through lore in some way
in my headcanon the answer is you look so determined or angry or whatever intense facial expression that he just lets you go without stopping you
@@maple... thank you, this answer make sense (at least for me) and it also made me laugh really hard, don't know why xD
Can you see a white hole if you are inside the ash twin project at the begining of the loop? Did they animate it?
It’s not possible to get there in time. Even with mods. So no. I doubt they animated it.

I guess I had formulated my question wrong, but it was nicely answered anyway.
I guess I'll just put it to game design that you could stay on Timber Hearth as long as you want before you activate the statue and start game loop 1, which is lore loop 9-million whatever
yeah....thats not lore. Thats game design. You can spend as long as you want in the solar system before syncing with the statue. The statue is the gameplay trigger for time based events such as brittle hollow breaking up, the sand draining from ash, and the sun expansion and subsequent nova. As soon as you sync with your statue, everything reverts to where it was at the beginning of the loop, and the timer starts from there.
At 1.40, where is this place ? Don't remember a hole in a wall near a big door. With all theses torches, pretty sure i didn't see this.
Its the top floor of the sunless city!
11:51 is answered in echoes of the eye
SPOILERS: the eye was silenced by a probe launched by owlks.
If a quantum object stays where it is, if you look at it, where does it go, when you stop looking?
The game says that the quantum object is in a superposition and therefore in multiple positions at once.
Can that be proven by not looking at the quantum object, but then trying to collide with it, because you can still detect it that way? I would really like to know.
Another question I had:
How did the probe cannon turn before the time loop started? Or rather, how didnt it fire in the same direction at every beginning of a time loop?
I thought about the 2. question. Maybe the cannon turnd after the time loop started, but we just became awake after that.
Yeah. If we park our ship in quantum groves we can see them eventually get flung about
So what exactly started the time loop? To my knowledge, the time loop was set to go off after the Nomai activated the probe. But if they were all killed before the time loop started and before the first probe firing, then what activates the probe cannon the first time? Its been about a year since I played so if this got answered in the game then I'm sorry.
So, the timeloop was originally set by the nomai to activate with the suns explosion. Theyd fire the sun station, and the resulting explosion would activate the atp. Unfortunately for the Nomai, the sun station never worked. Luckily for us, 200k years later, our sun blew up on its own.(naturally). This initial natural supernova is what started the 9 million long loop
I'm guessing part of the masks instructions were to fire the probe? I guess on the very first loop the probe didn't fire, it only started firing on the second loop once it has been given instructions by the mask in ATP.
The probe would fire on the first actual loop. Time is moving normally to start. Theyd dont start by shooting the probe. The nomai first blow up the sun, powering the first time loop. The timeloop has one statue active that tracks the probe. Now powered, This statue sends a command back in time saying "Pick a random trajectory and fire". This is the first real timeloop. So as soon as the time loop starts, the probe is off and running.
My questions were always like why did the statue trigger when WE walked by it and now any other hearthians before it? And how long has the probe cannon been shooting for? When we first wake up we see it fire for the first time in our loop, and technically it IS the first time.
But why did the probe cannon wait like 280,000 years after the Nomai died to start firing itself? Weird time causality questions like that I still haven’t wrapped my head around, and I’m sure the answer is out there but I keep thinking about them.
I would’ve expected the statue back on timber Heath to pick someone else to grab in it’s time loop with everyone walking by.
I guess it could be answered it turned on the same time it got gabro, us, and when the probe first fired? So we all got attached to the time loop at exactly the same moment, but I don’t think that’s right since I believe the probes been in the time loop for 9 million shots, but we still see it fire for the first time “technically” when we wake up next to the camp fire.
See how I can’t wrap my head around it? Think I’m going in circles here.
Edit:
Oh I like how in the new echoes dlc prisoner vision they clarify that the Nomai teleported into dark bramble and it was just a story from Nomai children about how dark bramble attacked them and reached out with Its vines to ensnare the mothership.
Also oh man 9:45 ish I just realized the quantum possibilities of Solanum.. that means when we reach the eye and can see the Quantum Moon she must be alive ON that version of the moon!
I think Ive answered these all in videos before. But since youre always so kind Ill answer them again!.
1.) When the Nomai made the statues they created them so they only activated and brought them consciously into the loop after the nomai probe found the eye. That way they wouldnt have to consciously experience the 9 million loops. So when we go talk to hal before we get the launch codes, the statues arent active yet. When we get the launch codes is the exact moment the nomai probe found the eye. Once it found the eye it sent the signal to the atp to activate the statues. And so when we go to leave and walk by the statue, its activated for the first time. So in short, we are the first one to walk past it after it had been activated. And it was activated by the probe having finally found the eye. This is not the first time the probe fired.
2.) The nomai tried to blow up the sun, which would activate the loop and cause the orbital probe cannon to fire. Unfortunately for them, it didnt work. The sun laughed it off and the Nomai failed. Instead of turning off the atp, the nomai went to study a new comet in the system. This comet was the cause of their death, and so the atp never activated, and they never shut it off . 280k years later, our sun dies of old age. But with the atp never having been turned off, it activates at the suns natural death, having been powered for the first time. This begins the first loop of 9 million and some odd loops. We get in after 9 million loops already happened and the probe found the eye.
Hope this helps! :: )
@@TheLoreExplorer I think the statues activate on the next loop *after* the Eye is found, since the probe would only reach the eye at the end of a loop. It's possible the probe doesn't even send it's findings to the probe tracking station directly, but sends it to the mask, gets it from it's mask on the next loop and then feeds it to the station which then launches the probe in a random direction that isn't already in the probe's memories.
Nope. You can visit the probe tracking module to confirm this. You can also read the rules of the statues to see that if it were active the loop prior. Hal would be connected to it. The eye was found as we talk to hornfells. This is actually , lore wise , some time into the loop. Due to the tutorial mechanics the loop resets afterwards. But the eye wasn’t found at the end of the loop. Or in the previous loop.
I was wondering why the Nomai didn't simply take a probe with them on the sixth location of the QM to get approximate coordinates of the Eye.
They were intelligent enough to think and give birth to all the ATP but weren't smart enough to use what they already known about the QM ? Sounds like a plot hole to me
If the memories get sent back through a black hole where is the corresponding White Hole
Same place the black hole opens, just 22 minutes in the past
You should make a discord for people to share their experiences and discoveries and ask questions! But if you do I demand to be mod! Jk but seriously that would be cool!

Question:
How nomai exploring planets? The Vessel doesn't have shuttles and can't land on planets because it have this strange decoration at the bottom, so how nomai travel between planet and Vessel?
Via black hole warp travel ::D
@@TheLoreExplorer OOOO, this platform that travels player to the Eye... thank you!
P.S: It would be cool if the player could find the coordinates of all the planets and use the Vessel to explore them. But, due to the fact that he disabled ATP, after death there would be an ending: "YOU WASTE THE ONLY CHANCE TO GET TO THE EYE"
11:50 and now we know
why does Brittle Hollow only start breaking apart / start breaking apart faster in the last 22 minutes before the supernova?
As soon as the game starts the sun is having chain reactions. It starts burning hotter and hotter while burning through its fuel and creating heavier ones. I think this increase in solar system wide temperature rose making the pieces easier to destroy
In a recent patch this became explicit. If you go back to Hollow's Lantern there's a nomai computer which says that the sun activity increase triggered a volcanic intensification
Im actually sort of upset at myself for not guessing this answer. Im pretty sure thats how it is in the alpha too
They should perhaps change Riebeck's dialogue aswell. They would probably be freaking out seeing everything collapsing around them.
That’s an excellent point. Tribe I would definitely be freaking out.
5:30 wasn't there a log that explained how the moon was created? It showed you how the trees on brittle hollow were quantum and the nomai thought that that was because they stayed in the vicinity of the quantum shard that was next to them, so eventually they became quantum themselves? I definitely remember that, but I think there was also a lore segment that said the same thing happened to the quantum moon. It stayed close enough to the eye for years, and eventually became quantum itself. I might be wrong though.
I think youre just remembering the log in which the nomai first notice the qm in the grove on brittle. Solanum also explains that the qm is the eyes natural moon. But she doesnt explain how it came to be.
I still don’t understand if the eye is sentient. Like it’s projecting the ancient glade to the player and it sent a signal to the Nomai but it’s not alive. I don’t really get it.
Well, think about it. The eye and conscious observation are linked. We go to the eye and entangle with it. Become one with it. I think the eye uses our own consciousness to communicate with us. Its possible the eye used our consciousness to send the signal through time to the nomai as well. But it seems more likely that the eye was observed by something and became certain for a few minutes. And during the time its certain the eye emits a signal(when we are there we can use our signalscope to listen to it) that would be sent out. The Nomai just happened to hear it. So, in short, on its own no. If someone is entangled with it its possible the eye may use their consciousness.
@@TheLoreExplorer So what your saying is that something or someone else observed the eye causing a signal to be sent out which was caught by the nomai. So does this mean the eye itself is quantum?
Yea
@@babygoat58 yes
@@TheLoreExplorerBut how are the coordinates of a thing that only exists when being observed? If the eye was quantum then it wouldn’t just be in a specific location that you can teleport to.
Why are the eye's coordinates fixed?
At the point of the story we find it its hard to say. Technically I suppose it could be because the strangers probe is "observing" the eye somehow. But when we finally find it the eye is being observed by having its coordinates marked. Same as an image of an object acts as the object. If you record it, its location, and its signals. Then store those in the atp where its always being "observed". Then itll be certain.
@@TheLoreExplorer
But quantum imaging needs an observer.
Also it is not even moving in its supposed orbit. When the Qmoon is locked it still moves while orbiting a planet. Unless the coordinates are not a location but an orbit.
I think that the center of the eye might be static and the center of the universe as it is where the new universe starts.
Or that Solanum is quantum locking the eye by observing its reflexion in the Qmoon and she doesn't lock the Qmoon because she is part of it. But this last one doesn't add up with the DLC.
Yes. Quantum imaging needs an observer. And it seems to me the atp, for all intents and purposes, is able to observe things. Whether it be the statues or whatever, the nomai felt actually watched. As for the eye. It very well could be the center of the universe. If you go to the museum and head upstairs there is a photo saying. "Its amazing. All of these sources of lights are actually galaxies. Interestingly, they all seem to be moving away from us." There is no point in real space in which nothing is moving towards it. Things in space move in relation to eachother. So if literally everything is moving away from the eye and our system. We could conclude it is the center. From which all outward motion sprang. But people dont tend to like that conclusion cause it doesnt sit well with real world science.
This is probably a stupid as heck question, but seeing as Gabbros ship is in the water and lost to him, how did he haul the statue from Giant's to Timber's? Like I said, probably stupid. (Also, 4:56, I just now realized the eye was correctly depicted by the Nomai, and the fact there's a planet thing there, I wonder if the moon's depiction is actually correct in the middle, or if it's blank to represent the planet)
And to make the question at the 10 minute mark not so... Glaringly obvious, what do you think would happen if the hatchling tried to (and potentially successfully) get to the Nomai instead of the eye?
Gabbro brought the statue back before they lost their ship. And yes. The eye signals center is actually just where the qm symbol goes. together they make one symbol.
Ok, makes sense, I guess I was just being stupid again, so sorry for wasting your time
@@ardenttheprotogen4201 Don't worry, there are no stupid questions!
I mean... You sure?

You said that the ATP doesn't protect from the supernova and maybe it doesn't but the footage you show isn't from dying to the supernova. Amusingly one of the questions is answered by the dlc
Edit: I see others have said both of these already
I know. But it does show the supernova breaking through. The thing is, the atp shields the core long enough to transfer our memories. So wed never be able to see it break through enough to kill us. But it does eventually break through according to nomai text. Excited to see which question is answered.
wow, you're fast with responses. I'm not quite done with the dlc but I've seen a couple spoilers I am getting close though. I'm watching your playthrough and wanderbot's both are fun. You seem focused on doing things in the 'correct' order which has it's perks though it's also fun to see coincidental discoveries. I really liked your reasoning for discovering what you call the painting world and if you pursue that line of reasoning you'll end up sequence breaking in a number of ways. Whether that's desirable is up to you.
Yeah. I kind of figure that out in the next episode and instead of "progressing" I explore. I just want to be as thorough as possible to show everything off. This game deserves the attention to detail. Im not entirely sure how close I am to end game because Ive avoided as much as I can. But I know Im in the thick of it now lol.

Pretty sure the reason you die if you stay in the atp is because you freeze without the sun
I used to think that animation was freezing. Its not though. If you shut off the atp(which i didnt in the video), the supernova comes through and kills you. You can see it happen.

Linguistically speaking, for a language to be written there must be a spoken version first. The humans developed the spoken language hundreads of thousands of years before the writing was invented.
This does make sense for humans. But I think other intelligent life would still be able to make symbols to represent things if they cant vocalize. They would still have a need to communicate in some way. And images or signs are a good way to do it.

Spoiler for the Echoes of the Eye's Ending: 12:03, I guess we got an answer to why it's signal stopped, the Strangers (The name of the Owls) blocked the signal, the prisoner then reopned it for the Nomai, and then it was closed again as he was recaptured.
