the greatest game you're not allowed to talk about
Can't wait to play it
Mr. Starch
I hope it goes well! Try not to look up any guides. Some parts can be quite difficult, but the solution is always within the information presented and what you do with it
RiversCuomo_ I stopped playing because I've no idea wtf to do. Idk how people play this game and I feel bad for being left out :(

Did you read everything? Everything is explained in the texts that you find. The only thing that changes throughout the loop is the knowledge you gain. Besides the ship log which is probably where you should look if you’re stuck. The rumors are basically just really big clues on where you should go to find more stuff.
I mean, either that or just go places you haven’t explored. You should be doing that anyways though. It’s not a super advanced game or anything
Ok muting this thread, I'm gonna have it spoiled otherwise lmao
We were there together. The final voices of a dying universe, passing the torch to the next one. May their campfires be surrounded by good cheer, good friends. And most important of all...marshmallows.
I literally just finished the game a hour ago, and yes, we were.
I was so happy I turned on your stream yesterday and got to experience this amazing moment with you.
What a great game ❤
I just want to say, I finished the game last night. (not Echoes of the Eye, gonna do that later).
...This song opened the waterworks valve. The dam cracked, and it came flooding out.
But it's hopeful in the end...as the stars burn out in their last, beautiful firework displays, seven travellers sit around the fire playing a song, and roasting marshmallows. Singing a new universe into existence, from the ashes of the old one. Down there, with friends...y'know, the end ain't so bad when you have people beside you. Everything has to end...but what is the future if not built on the past?
This is such an emotional game, a beautiful game. I'm glad I played it.
Thanks for streaming this till the end Womble.
We will never be able to enjoy this journey the same way but seeing others go through it is beautiful in it's own way.
Now, back to playing Solanum's part over and over...
Thanks for the stream SovietWomble, glad I could enjoy the experience with you.
This game is literally about the friends we made along the way
for the people who are here right now, reading the comments: outer wilds will have a dlc, called the echoes of the eye. We still don't know about what it will be, but it's confirmed. possibly we will control the nomai (probably the solanum, and it will happen before the game, PROBABLY)
No
Your friends and family are pathetic and fickle compared to recreating the universe.
@@corbinforrester4883 Don’t cut yourself on that edge
@@kevinflaherty1 i think he already pretends to
When all of the pieces came together and it clicked for me that this was never about saving the universe; it was about letting it go.
mannn
I came to that realization when I visited the sun station and found out that our sun is blowing up naturally so there's no stopping it.
It is so beautiful, and sad
@@trustypatches669 That moment when you realize that you're efforts of stopping the Sun from exploding by the Nomai's was not what caused it to explode, it was just at the end of it's lifespan.
@@theant2266 I mean didn’t 200,000+ years have passed already since the Nomai was around? I just felt like those little ones back on the “Earth” should have a chance to live longer and explore just like I did, but the time was up for the world to reset I guess.
You can’t save the galaxy in a day... and that’s okay.
But you can let it go.
Ouch
I really wish I could.
And if you can't save it at all... that's okay too.
That’s the point of the game, you can’t save the universe, that’s not what it was about. It was about solving the greatest mystery in the universe and watching it die, but that’s ok, the important thing is you found what you where looking for, you found what a species thousands of years old couldn’t. So you celebrate this last victory, turns out, dying around a campfire with all your buddies isn’t the worst way to go. I think it’s touching that the last song the universe hears, is a bunch of friends around a campfire.
The song of the universe, but really there's nothing grand about it at all. Just a campfire and some peers. I dunno, I find that really touching.
yeah just ITS BEAUTIFUL
bit of a spoiler there m8 lmao
Excuse me, but seeing that the world is ending and just sitting around the campfire, playing music as your friends start to join in, enjoying the last moments of it all as reality fades in a chime, going out with everyone you love around you, what is grander than that?
@@vicenteisaaclopezvaldez2450 i think he means while its something very meaningful, the music in of itself is quite modest, which says alot ig
nickolas474 its cause its what we do on a normal day for them. The 6 heroes that started a new universe were just average people with average lives and they did what they did best at the end of the universe. Thats what makes it so perfect
Solanum's part is just so sad... many players can finish the game without ever finding Solanum.
Her words at the very end... "I'm glad you remembered me"
oh yeah you dont actually have to visit the quantum moon do you?
@@davidjalkh You don't have to to get to the end of the game, no. It's just helpful.
I didn't and that's made me sad, although, I tried to go there again the other day and found her.
I am completionist so I always do all the missions to any game. And this one was so fun I played it 3 times now. I really need more games like this one, its fun, it has cool concepts, it has impressive immersion and once you unravel the first nomai tablet, the whole world is yours, go wherever you want, do whatever you want. The game is genius
@@riebeck1986 I played portal 1 and 2 and thought of trying undertale so we'll see. One day we maybe get something at least close to what this game is
1:47 "I am not familiar with this song, but I am honored to be a part of it."
U MADE ME CRY THANKS
@@evo683 yea heartbreaking
😭
Im having goosebumps
Solanum my beloved
The death of a universe that ended in love and friendship instead of fear and selfishness could only lead to a new beautiful start
Very underrated comment
no spoilers but after the DLC this comment is incredibly relevant
I think that this is the most beautiful description I've seen of the end of this game.
bro predicted dlc
@@luckerowl8990I feel like it was less fear and selfishness and more that they knew it wasn’t time yet.
Honestly. I wish I could forget everything I know about this game so I can play it all over again.
Ture. I wish I could forget every video I saw about this game so I can play it myself.
I want to watch the video of how it ends so bad. I want to see the player character interact with solanum. I don’t know why but i can’t, i refuse to watch said videos. I want to see for myself the intricacies and delicacies that these people put in such an underrated game. I love it, and would do anything to forget about it and start over, to be in awe about the huge fish, to smile and hear the banjo play.
@@jeffitii just the immersion of outer wilds it's so good it's worth playing even if you watched others play it already.
Havent completed it yet myself and I can the game is just so good and so much to understand and do
Watching a friend play it is nice. Also, you could wait a year and %100 it again.
You'll only get to play this game 'for the first time' once. Treasure it.
the first thing i did after launching for the first time was fly directly into the sun
best start to any game if you can fly into the sun (:
@@heroyearsley-prior4951 The first thing I did after launching was to take down my ship because I lost control. then I got out of the ship all broken up and thought about going back to the launch station, to see if I could recover the ship. I went to try to catch the elevator and ended up being crushed by it, because it was still going down... what a great start... I was very scared for no reason.
@@heroyearsley-prior4951 the first thing I did was jump straight down the well, and die.
@@heroyearsley-prior4951 I roasted myself on the campfire right when I started the game. Been dying ever since. Fucking love this game.
@@gustavoinacio7575 i dont know why, but I often felt scared playing this
Playing this game just after my aunt died was hard. I thought I was meant to find a way to save the universe, but I had to learn to let it go. The game's about accepting loss and embracing change, at least to me. My aunt was the universe and I have to accept that she's gone.
God damn, this game is art.
Feel u bro
the right game at the right time
i hear you. this game helped me get over the death of my dad a couple years ago during the pandemic. the music is really just transcendental
this NEEDS more attention.
It was my ex girlfriend to me...Most beautiful relationship I've ever had, we played the game together. At that time I had no idea that this would be the game that will teach me to cope with our breakup.
This is the way the world ends.
Not with a Bang,
Not with a Whimper,
But with a whistled tune around a warm campfire.
We are the hollow men
Well there was a bang after, but yeah
Maybe that's how life will fade. The last red dwarf in the universe will become a bonfire for the remaining living beings before the heat death of the cosmos takes over.
actually it ended with a bang
@@sansdw7723actually no, it began again with a bang. It started with a bang, ended with a whistled tune, and then began once more with a bang
"I learned a lot, by the end of everything. The past is the past, now but that's... you know, that's okay! it's never really gone completely. The future is always built on the past, even if we won't get to see it. Still, it's, um, time for something new, now."
- Riebeck
I love that line. Expresses the disappointment at not seeing the next step in the evolution of the universe but the realization that it needs to happen anyways. I also love how the guy who just whistles is just so happy to see everyone. “I’m just so happy that everybody’s back and we can play together again.” So wholesome, but also outer wilds’ theme is literally just about the friends we made along the way.
❤️
The scariest thing is watching the sun explode as you hear each instrument fade out one by one
I'm kinda sad that I never pulled out my signalscope at the end of each loop. I was always trying to read every last bit of information that I had stumbled upon or just basking in the beauty of the "End Times" track
Learning the development of it, it's quite nostalgic when you look at it and realize that this very concept was the spark that make the game possible, it was the emotional concept the creator needed to create this experience
Something that absolutely destroyed me was, near the end of everything, Solanum asks you if you're ready to find out about jumping towards the eye, I answered not yet, I wasn't ready to leave everything behind, and she said:
“It’s tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless they are collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.”
That broke me so hard I cried like a child.
That is what it's all about.
Can you explain this to me I'm trying to wrap my head around what that means. Like the possibilities are things not yet realized, and are better wiped away than left in this state?
@@timstalam For me, it's more a message to the player itself. Is better to go on a path that maybe has a not so good ending that never choosing anything and keeping yourself on the "what could have been" realm. Basically, to me it means that, whatever we choose to do, we have to choose to move forward, although the state we are now in could be a good point, if you end up not choosing anything, maybe you'll spend your life being a mere watcher of your own life.
Sorry for the bad english in advanced, this is not my native language.
@@NicTheHxman For not being your native language, you absolutely nailed it my friend.
@@vaidenkelsier7757 Wow! Thank you, my dude!
One time my spaceship smacked right into The Interloper, destroying my space craft and just jettisoning me out into space. I was all out of jet fuel and the sun turned into a red giant, so I knew my time was almost up. I didn’t know what else to do other than whip my signal scope out and spend the last minutes listening to the instruments...
*gets vaporized by supernova*
or you coulda meditated (just have to talk to gabro to learn how)
@@spooderman4008 shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't ruin the moment
Did you know you can land on the comet
@@Vileplume87 sad times (just finished Nerdcubed's playthrough)
One of my favorite quotes is from nerdcubed's play through at the end of one of the first episodes
"The universe is about to explode, so I figured I'd watch it from outside."
Arguably the most emotional moment I had in a videogame was when I accidentally ended up stranded away from my ship at the very edge of the solar system, out of fuel and almost out of oxygen, when as I suffocated I pulled out my signalscope and lined it up with all the astronauts. At that moment, hearing all those people playing on different planets yet all to the same tune, whilst my character was feeling his lungs run out of air and collapse, I shed a few tears, because it felt like I had genuinely witnessed something beautiful and meaningful
I had almost this is exact experience to me, and I just had to take a moment away from the game to just let that moment sink in and sit with it
I did the exact same thing almost word for words
i imagine that bro , its extremely beautiful
Ah yes the way to cheat the harmonic convergence achievement. Glad you could experience it
My experience was similar, I was inside my ship but at the edge of the universe and figured I should just watch and await my demise, I happened to pop on the signal locator and I heard all the instruments playing together, then slowly, they each fizzled out one by one until only static was left, then I woke up back at my campfire, it hit me hard
I remember my first ending. I grabbed the teleporter at the center of ash twin and ran away from the system to escape the supernova. On my way out right before the sun exploded I opened my radio communicator and heard every insurrment at once. It was a truely beautiful sight, seeing all of it from so far away.
Only made it more haunting to hear their instruments go out one at a time as the sun consumed them, leaving me alone in silence.
I did exactly the same thing... I don't know, the text that showed up on the ending screen and the silent credits - there was something absolutely devastating in it. I've made my friend play it, and now we have some kind of a cult - telling to play this game to literally every friend of ours. I'm just so sad that I cant experience it again...
YOU CAN DO THAT???
@@Orc_Savage yeah my first ending was the same thing. if you dont know to bring the core somewhere else you just assume that the universe is going and you're going with it. I realized there was something else the second i realized that the credits were silent in my ending.
them all going out at the same time is haunting and i barely feel empathy
@@trainshark5213 what a weird thing to say
Listening to this while playing the game: "man, this is some comfy campfire music. Love it"
Listening to this after finishing the game: *barely concealed crying in the middle of work*
literally me right now, typing this as i am shedding a tear
me too
bruh i can’t help but cry happy tears every time i listen to this.
Middle of work while playing outerwilds? Huh
@@tumultuousv Some of us listen to game soundtracks when we work. Great background music. You know, when you don't suddenly flash back to this beautiful moment that transcends the medium
First time I heard solanum start playing I almost cried.
Yep 😭 Her part is my favorite of pretty much any song in the game, just so beautiful and sad yet hopeful
I didn't almost cry. I sobbed desperately, like a little baby. Like, a lot. I haven't cried like that since my dog died.
@@potatoscanfly you're not the only one ç_ç. I, pretty unexpectedly, bursted into tears while the instruments started joining in...
Yeah I broke down. I can't even remember the last time a game, or anything else for that matter, has made me feel the way this game has.
She is certainly wonderful. A shame the hearthians didn't get to live with the nomai, they seemed endlessly kind
The most heartbreaking moment was when I went to the Ember Twin near the end of a loop and Chert was freaking out about all the stars going supernova. That completely blindsided me, because I was expecting him to say the same stuff as he does when I see him at the beginning of the loop, but nope, turns out the devs thought of that too.
sit we me lets watch the stars die
@@datrandomdugggy5537 You know we're in a time loop, right?
@@physical_insanity time loop that a nice thought
The best part is that Chert has branching dialogue depending on whether you talk to him during the start, midway, or end of the loop, commenting on the amount of supernova around you. In fact, you can notice this through the 20 minuet loop - every star eventually fades in the background, as to when at the start of the loop the sky is full of stars.
Another fun dialogue option with Chert is after getting to the vessel within Dark Bramble, and seeing that the other Nomai clans have discovered this, you can actually tell this as a 'discovery' to Chert and he has a bit of a breakdown over it. Turns out, he's probably already confused, and was simply in denial about it all along.
@@physical_insanity a time loop you said? heh...I like that idea.

When the universe dies in sad silence let it know that at least it isn't alone.
This is not a game, this is art, this is an experience. This is not a soundtrack, this is a masterpiece.
Agreed
"Art" and "game" are not mutually exclusive
It's a game. Games can be art.
I realized something interesting about this song: It's a metaphor for the game.
You're practically guaranteed to hear just one instrument on its own, before eventually using the signalscope to line them all up. So it starts out simple, and grows in complexity, just like your knowledge of the story and the story itself.
But... Your experience of the song is short. Because it's not very long. It's a relatively brief melody playing on loop. Again, even if you match all five players together, or at the end if you get Solanum involved too... The song doesn't change.
That's the game itself as well. You experience it in short, 20 minute loops, hoping something will change or be different by the end. But as countless people have pointed out, the game is about moving on. This song is comfy, it has that nice campfire vibe. But its overall brevity just means that you will get tired of it sooner or later, that you'll want to move on to something new.
That's what the entire end of the game is about.
At the edge of the solar system you can line them all up and hear them all together. Almost like they're calling you back.
My dog passed away mid-way through my play through so I was already sad while finishing the game. I fucking cried at the end the moment they all started playing together.
Reflectedpower I’m so fucking sorry for you man. I cried myself cuz of someone I lost years ago and still see her around but that recently? Ouch
shit dude that's heartbreaking. I hope you're alright my guy.
That was them saying a goodbye to your dog with you... I hope your dog is in heaven watching you play this game.
Hey man, you don’t know me and I don’t know you, and nor do anybody in this reply section know anybody else here(if that makes sense) but I still feel sorry. Along with these kind hearts you see before me. This is what the internet is about. To share your feelings with others. You aren’t supposed to be scared of others shutting you down or calling you out. And I am so sorry that your dog passed away. But I’m glad you got to know him as much as you did. When you think of him you have good memories to remember, and good times to think of. When my dog passed away. I was only 7. He went missing for days and when I found him in our garage, he had rabies and he died in the vet. I can remember barely anything about him. But you have so much more. The thing is (and no offense) it’s good that you cried for your dog because you missed it. And when god forbid, you pass on, he(? She?) Will be waiting. To reunite with his old master. One last time. Know this. All good things must come to an end. And I know, that to you, your dog must have been the best thing in the world. I hope you found this helpful.

This song makes me nostalgic for something I can't remember
anemoia
It makes me feel nostalgic for an adventure that was grand!
nostalgic for something we can't remember: I think you nailed it. Nice.

The word is 'Sehnsucht'. A longing for something but we know not what, a nostalgia for a place never visited.

"This song is new to me but I am happy to be a part of it. Thank you for remembering me."
No one was left behind
In the new universe, all quantum shards will resonate with this tune. Makes me wonder about the musical tastes of the universe before, that all the shards make this ominous haunting wail.
stevenage lutton fascinating
): could you imagine the absolute wonder in the eyes of those who discovered this musical tone in the quantum shards of what once was.
It does sound like a choir chant though. Maybe they didn't have instruments?
Ocean Wavelength or its the sound of the eye (the call) and the Herthians overwrote it as the first conscious observers inside the eye
Actually i always took the ominous chants on the quantum frequency to be sort of...ill say misstranslated?
The nomais eye signal is a PICTURE. And i assume their distress beacons are meant to be pictures too with the ringing we hear just being the signals interpretation by hearthians purely audio recievers

There's a Sincerity and Genuine feeling to all the instruments, Especially the Whistling. (If you want to call it an Instrument) But it adds this very homely feeling to the song, like how the whistle isnt perfect, and the banjo isn't exactly on beat. It really makes it sound like its just a couple of people, playing a song around a campfire as they relax. No studio, no audience, just an experience. Like the rest of this gorgeous game.
Now if you hum along it greatly adds to the melody and you can add your part to the song of the stars!
I'm not the type that gets easily into something, but this end. It was one of the hardest emotions I felt this year.
I finished Outer Wilds several months ago, and I still can't listen to this song without crying. Tears are rolling down my cheeks as I'm typing this. What an amazing, unreal, fantastic, masterpiece gem of a game.
I don’t even played the game and each time i am listening to this song I cry
This song gets me to the verge of tears every time. Such a powerful game
VERGE?? Your resolve is outstanding, I usually shed tears to this
I feel you…
One time, I was playing and I just started another loop and then it hit me, that the station in Giant's Deep's orbit is launching the probe the moment you start a loop. I saw the probe fly into space so I got into the ship and flew towards the probe. It turns out you can actually visit the probe that launches and it has its own textures. But then I realized the entire time I was with the probe I was getting farther away from the solar system. I ended up 155km away from the sun, which allowed me to easily hear all the instruments at once. I still died to the supernova though.
Edit: I just finished the game and... Wow. That was an amazing ending. I only cried for 30 minutes.
If you go super far away from the sun you can avoid the supernova blast radius but then you freeze to death
@@Tacomeister87 Yeah, I learned thats actually what happened when I "died to the supernova" I just didn't realize it at the time.
@@Tacomeister87 well "freeze" its not really freezing since you dont without the core
It has a deeper meaning to it. Think: what did you do before the sun exploded? Try to do as much as you can. And when the sun explodes you can either enjoy or try to finish everything and rush until you die. One is better than the other but you choose what you do. That’s what I think the ending means
@@Tacomeister87 You cant escape it unless you grab the core first, the loops starts when the energy from the supernova powers the loop and sends your mind back in time. If you grab the core and then go far from the sun, you will get an ending that states that you left and eventually died anyways.
Freaking superb you funky little astronauts
Indeed freaking superb
Thanks?
funky little astronauts
i like that description
No other piece of music can describe how wonderful the universe is. I'm so glad that I exist, I'm so glad I am alive and having the opportunity to be part of it.
I wish more people would think like me. We're not just star dust, we might be the only living thing in the whole universe that are able to appreciate it all.
Goddamn I love this game so, so much.
The issue is, we are not.
We maybe are not the only living sentient species.
Every species does have consciousness, every single one does.
The ability to display said consciousness depends on the creatures capability. Humans are an example, orangutans, chimpanzees or any other animal that has a brain (heck, a jellyfish was seen acting smart even though it didn't have a brain.) is conscious. Unfortunately, they do not have the same luck as us Humans to appreciate and love the Universe. For they are too worried about survival.
Oh well, their loss.
But really though, Space is way too big to traverse. There are YES other intelligent species, but we may never really see them at all.
For all we know, they might either be at the same technological level as us, or have no tech at all.
The universe is 16 (possibly longer.) Billions of years old.
There are planets out there that had a earlier headstart than Earth at life. But perhaps for them it either took them longer to have complete sentient life or had none at all.
We don't know. And the universe is expanding at a very fast rate. Other galaxies are going farther away from us, if we had ANY chance of POSSIBLY setting a FOOT on another galaxy in the very far distant future, we may as well give up at that time. Because they will be very far away. Anyway, the original topic is, we aren't just the only ones. There are more sentient life out there, probably doing the same as us, looking at the stars, but we will probably never find them, and they will never find us.

I love the way solanum plays offbeat, signifying that the nomai are gone and are not quite in reach of the hearthians to interract with. Yet the final few notes of each segment are played in harmony, signifying the shared memories and the friendships you have built up, even though you are seperated by countless years.

Hands down 🙌 best game out there.
I was so sad when everyone played together, even now as i right this i never really wanted the journey to end there, i wanted to speak more with the characters and friends i had made and wanted to keep going, heck, even when i first got to the ash twin it took me everything to take the core and then like after 10 minutes of just sitting there holding it, i put it back, i couldn't let that be the end, not yet atleast.... Gosh this game is beautiful, despite being overshadowed by the more popular and bigger ones this will always be my GOTY. :)
Also. PETITION FOR THE DEVS TO ADD A "HUG" OPTION FOR OUR QUANTUM FRIEND SOLANUM.
Well the eye is your characters personal journey of accepting the end so youre feeling the same thing they are at least
And yes let us hug solanum she good girl
I dont remember the last time a game had me hooked so god damned hard. In one word this game is ART
I can't explain what I feel when I hear this song
It's a mixture of sensations, the sadness of ending up, the joy of having been there in the first place, the peace of knowing that even everything goes wrong, everything passes, the feeling of having people who will always be there for me, the inspiration to do something big, but the reassurance that I don't need to be big
I just need to be happy
And this music makes me happy
it fills me, I don't know what
but i know it's a good thing
something really good
Hello traveler, we only have a few seconds left before the sun explodes, why don't you join us around the campfire ?
This is how I want the universe to end. Friends playing music until the absolute end of their lifes and everything they once knew, in hopes for something new.
The thing is all of these people are already dead, they died in the supernova or have their body spread throughout the quantum moon. And if the Quantum entaglement theory is true then all of these people are from the players mind, the people they met, in the way he remembered them.
You magnificent son of a bitch. You made me cry. Thank you. Thanks, you glorious bastard.
Perhaps if the soul is a real thing, then they could very well be the characters we knew and met along the way.
And even if the soul doesn't exist, just let me believe, goddammit. I don't want to let go just yet.
@@physical_insanity Then Believe. The universe isn't going to tell you no, or tell you you're wrong. Isn't that the entire point of this game? The Universe doesn't care. It does its thing, and it will end when it must and not a moment before or after. But for now? You're here, listening to a few friends play music around a campfire, snacking on marshmallows.. The end of the universe has come and gone, and these friends welcome the next one with a warm fire and a snack to munch on. So go on! believe on those ghosts. Belief is what makes life great.
Personally I look at them as alternate timelines, alternate paths where they were the ones to make it to the eye.
@@ronger97 thank you
I speak for most of us when I say when you have seen the ending, and experienced the game... you just get a gut feeling inside you when you listen to this. You know a whole world was made from this, and yet, it sounds so surreal, and all the pieces are falling into place.
Great detail that's missing from the soundtrack version, is that when they join into the song around the camp fire, they start out of time with the others, quickly adjust, and occasionally fall out of time and correct again, just like real people playing real instruments. It's a fantastic touch and stuff like that is the very essence of the game. Every time you play you notice something different, whether it be shattering spacetime, figuring out how the time loop works, or even just noticing how the instrument playing is JUST off perfect.
yes, yesyesyes, just yes. I'm crying. they're so lovely, so beatiful and so so damn real. this masterpiece is much more than just a game but it is still just a game at the same time and these feelings mean so much to me. sorry for dumping, hehe, I'm currently crying bcz of the melody
1) Lay down
2) Try not to cry
3) Cry, a LOT
I wonder if when future generations find the eye's singal, will they hear our song?
Andrew Ryan apparently any remaining quantum shards will play it, so yes
Hopefully they don't hear mumble rap.
@@half-usedwoodenpickaxe4835 Where exactly did you learn that?
Vinnoe there was a quote somewhere in the game that “since the eye is older than the universe, it resonates with the sound of the previous one” I think
@@half-usedwoodenpickaxe4835 I suppose that makes sense. I haven't managed to find every log entry so that may be one I missed somewhere.
Or forgot about, maybe.
The instruments themselves kind of reflect the planets they can be found on.
- The Banjo on the Brittle Hollow, with a long passage connecting to a white hole
- The Harmonica in the Dark Bramble, with many interior compartments
- The Flute on Giant's Deep, shaped like a vortex
- Esker whistling on Attlerock, closest to the home of his species
- The Drums (And cymbals/bells) on the Hourglass Twins, one solid and pale, the other divided or with an interior
- The Nomai Staff (Piano) on the Quantum Moon, an ancient instrument that you don't understand
Holy shit! That actually fits quite bloody well.
this is one hell of a stretch
@@guishark09 Just like the layer over the drums xD
I can definitely agree that a piano is an ancient instrument beyond my understanding.
@@CiromBreeze For the drums, ingame you can see two distincts drums but they are linked together, mimicking the form of the twins. As for Solanum I'd rather say that melodically speaking what she is playing is complementary to what the hearthians plays, such as the mark of a culture from elsewhere mashed with one you've always known. It fits in but It's not what you expect to hear. As a vision of music you previously couldn't know about.
edit : the piano is also the isnturment used in other tracks of the game when it comes to nomai stuff (the music in hanging city/sunless city)
Kinda makes me want to cry a little bit, you know. The fact that the theme of the universe isn't some complicated symphony of astral instruments beyond our comprehension but rather a simple song, played with simple instruments. A song that is enjoyed with some friends around a campfire with maybe some stories of hardships and some marshmallows to go along with them. Really makes you realize why we even bother. It's not to see the end or to become something great but rather to be something to someone else. No matter how big the universe is the most important things in it are the friends by your side.
"I can't wait to play with the whole group again"
I love that aesthetic of The Little Prince style and its way of representing the game. The representation of how the era of light in the universe ends is wonderful and that mystery of what happened to them was incredible. And his soundtrack is not bad precisely. That game has a lot of unique moments. It's just so good.
Almost makes you forget you were just getting chased down by a pack of giant space anglers
If you aim your ship straight at the entrance and leave the seat before you enter, you can coast straight through the anglers without any problems. You’ll probably have to escape into the vines along the wall to avoid them afterwards though, as they’ll start chasing as soon as you use your engines.
@@pretzelbomb6105 it's actually the light from your ship that the anglers see. Turn off your head lights and use your thrusters sparingly and you'll get past them.
MrLandShark 55 Considering the anglers are blind, that is completely incorrect
@@mrlandshark5559You do know they're blind, right?
@@flamegiant6049 yes. I do understand that using the word "see" in such context could cause some confusion. I believe that a better way to explain what I meant is that the anglers have extra sensory organs that can detect and distinguish various light levels in order to determine the size of another angler by its lantern. I'd like to deeply apologize for any confusion I may have caused.
I'm in a rough place right now. A month ago I turned 26. I have few things going on in my life. No job, a college degree that I don't feel like using anymore. Since 2013 I feel like I've accomplished nothing. I graduated, failed to keep any job in my area of choice and most of the times it was to blame in my own incompetence. But sometimes not. I gave up on pursuing it. I joined a band in 2015 and since then we released 3 albums. The last one a month ago, amongst this fucked up corona pandemic. I also wanna release my own solo work, with my own vision of what music should be, but lately it feels like it doesn't really matter. I just can't do it. I'm not good enough, but the worst is that some days I feel like I can, but most of them days are horrible. My girlfriend says I have the impostor's syndrome, and although I know what it is, I do not understand it enough to do something about it. Like, wtf does it even mean?
The thing is, I come back to this video every month or so because it just inspires me. I didn't play Outer Wilds, but I enjoy space and a lot of space videos keep popping up on my recommended, including gameplays of space games. So a couple of Outer Wilds videos started showing up and I decided to watch them. Most of them were random stuff that didn't make sense to me, so I watched without understanding it and shrugged it off. Until one day last year, a video about all the endings of the game showed up. I only have money to make ends meet, so I figured I would watch because I'd never have money to buy a decent computer, or even buy the game. Thought it wouldn't matter much to see the endings of a normal space game, maybe looking for some cool sights and stuff.
Boy, was I wrong.
The last ending of the 44 minute video was the intended ending. As I watched it, I realized that maybe this wasn't a normal game after all, as the "intended ending" as the video stated was dragging for too long. When the player in question joined the others around the campfire and all of then, one by one started to play the song, I fucking dismantled myself. I didn't know absolutely nothing about the game and how do you get there, but I cried. Just the image of some people around the campfire playing this beautifully constructed melody broke me down. I got out of my bed and walked around my house without knowing what to do. I still regret watching that video, but at the same time I don't. I didn't realize that I needed that moment. My regret comes from not playing the game myself and discovering it by my own curiosity
Every month or so since then, I come back to this video. It inspired me to write my first album. An audiobook about a space odyssey centered around a character accompanied by music and narration. Every month or so I come back to this video in search of the same feeling I had when I watched the endings video, because the level of dread and meaninglessness that I'm currently on is too strong for me to feel like going on with it. I have yet to finish the audiobook. I'm stuck. I feel like I'm writing shit. I feel like shit. Like the twelve years I spent training on my music skills brought me nothing, although it is the thing that I most love about myself, but it feels like nothing now. I fear for the day that I come by this video and it, as well, fails to bring me joy.
I'm sorry about the long comment and any grammar mistakes. English is my second language. If you made it this far, I'm not looking for attention, just needed to put it out somewhere. Where nobody can't recognize me. I'm too insecure right now to expose this to someone I love or care about. Please, take good care of yourselves. Eat well, drink lots of water, don't stay up for too long but also, don't sleep too much. I hope you have a nice year.
Ive had imposter syndrome for a good 4 or 5 years now. Every project Id come to work on I would hit the 'why does it matter its all been done before/someone else can do it better' wall. I would say, if you get the chance to, get outer wilds and experience it. The message I was left with has finally seen me getting past that problem. From realizing that nothing really matters, in such a way that the weights lifted physically from my shoulders. It doesnt matter if the next thing I make isnt my best, or if its a reference to something else, or its completely uninspired. The thing that does matter is that I was driven to want to make it, and it now exists out there in the world, itll be remembered for a little while maybe, but as with everything it'll eventually be forgotten. And for me atleast, that was extremely liberating. Wish you all the best in your music X
I believe in you.
Thank you for sharing this. May you reach your goals in life.
i believe in you bud! best of luck with achieving the goals you have made!
I have to say I'm very interested to know more about your audio book! This concept seems incredible, and like most breakthroughs, it's like nothing else there.
You are a strong human, stronger than the majority out there. You can recognise your weakness and talk about it. I'm one of the people who can't do that. But your message inspired me to make something out of that negative feeling.
Most of my life I've been teached that art is not something you should work for a living. "It's never gonna bring you anywhere" so I never bothered trying explore my artistic touch. When I drew, I got negative response from family, when I said I want to take music lessons, my father said "music is not for everyone". So the only thing left for me was writing stories and fantasy world building. And I did that in secret, just for my eyes to read. I didn't want any recognition. But now that I'm older I feel so sad for every other oportunity I missed to connect with that artistic spirit that lives inside of me. And by doing so I would be able to connect with my feelings and weakness better.
I'm in a rough spot in a bad relationship and no job. Almost finishing my college and no job to work in sight. My gf is from another state and she got no family here. The thought of "she is only with me because she got nowhere to go" pollutes my relationship, confidence and mind. Slowly I am the one ruining my life because of not being able to connect, understand and cope with these feelings and thoughts.
Recently I met a friend who practices drawing almost every week. I appreciate this friend very much and love to support him. But his art is not the greatest. Still... He has the time of his life when he makes a new project, or finish a big work. And I admire that alot! With his example I'm starting to eliminate the feeling of "if I'm not good enough at it, it's not worth to try it" and return to my writing and trying to draw too. Even tho they are garbage, I'm starting to connect with a side of me I wasn't able before. Bit by bit I'm leaving those negative feelings of self sabotage behind and starting to discover things that I love and give me energy to move foward.
Thank you for the long post about your hard time. It's always nice to share these things with other people.
I'm happy that I could find the words to express my feelings today, I will keep this memory kindly.
Also, i don't understand much of this game, I was just here because I like the space Banjoo. Enjoyed the comments nonetheless...
Ok, I've made up my mind. Imma launch myself in a random direction into space with only campfire supplies, unlimited marshmallows, and a guitar.
I finished the game listened to this and my reaction was "who the hell is playing the piano?"
So i went and did the quantum moon stuff
How tf do people skip the quantum moon like a teleporting planets just not interesting enough for them?
vVAstrAVv nah it’s probably because it hard to know how to get there
@@vVAstrAVv Also because it's technically completely optional, so combined with it being so difficult to do properly I think a lot of people miss it
Lol you poor thing
@@vVAstrAVv I vibe with this comment so hard

This song literally nails the feeling of the end of life and remembering its greatest and beautiful moments.

me:
Doctor: you have four minutes to live
Me: watches this video
After 4 minutes:

nah, after 4 minutes:
*FIRE THE SUN STATION*
Not a bad way to die
And you're glad you stopped to smell the pine trees along the way.
This game was beautiful and it’s soundtrack equally so. The ending was so touching
I am playing this music every morning welcoming my kindergarten students to classroom. The music brings calmness as they enter and play quietly waiting for class to begin. Thank you.
now I want to study in your kindergarten
For someone who’s never heard music, Solanum absolutely crushed her part.
They say no one can hear sound in space,
But I can hear just fine.
The future is built by those who brave the unknown.
I cry everytime i hear this song. The emotion it conveys is just too real and human. Such a perfect balance of content and sadness
A song to usher in the new universe, and to remember the old universe to.
A song of welcoming, and yet a song of goodbyes.
Thank you, Danial Hardcastle (Nerdcubed/Nerd^3), for introducing me to one of my favorite games of all time.
im sad i didn't play it myself...
stopped watching to buy it then never did so watched gameplay. was still a nice journey
@@RossWild In my eyes, Dan got the best ending. And that's what makes this all the greater.
It was probably one of my favourite complete series he’s done a long time, I loved watching it everyday it came out
Freedomerider he missed a cool easter egg at the end of the game. If you shoot your probe into the eye. It says its lost but it reappears after the credits scene when it normally shouldent. I just love the little things.
Aye, I have to thank him for making the video on the Alpha way back when he did. Christ, if he didn't do that, I might well have never picked this up in the first place. It sat in the back of my mind as the "nameless game," consisting of only a few snippets of gameplay from the video and the one singular quote, that both terrified and helped me through the Dark Bramble (when I finally got the balls to go exploring there).
"Dont go towards the lights."

Correct, but perhaps wrong at the same time.
The whole of the universe, reborn by a humble tune ... if that’s not poetic, nothing could ever be 🌌
Learned it on bass just so i can feel included

Im just going to do a solo on my guitar lol
I might learn it for saxophone
I learned it for piano and guitar
This is such an amazing game. And whoever wrote this song is a genius. It really gives you a sense of appreciation, happiness, and bliss. But there’s a hint of sadness to it. It’s really absolutely perfect.
I've done my best to avoid spoilers for this game, but yet I've found little bits and pieces here and there. I'm glad I found this and I look forward to hearing this in context. Until then it feels appropriate to wish you all a very happy:
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
good luck on your mission to avoid all spoilers related to this. i was in the same boat a week or so ago and i was there for like, 3 years.
Absolutely stunning, how all these notes from such different instruments mix to find harmony. Makes me wonder if we could join in, y’know? Just pick up an instrument and play along, adding our own voice to the song.
The instruments represent something in the game for the player, thats why we only listen to the music
@@koala101100 i like to think you have your own song/instrument
which is why you can't hear yours... you can either enjoy it or imagine more
@@RossWild Yeah guitar is mine
I've seen it said that maybe the violin that plays during the Credits Theme is the player. Either way, I'm sure the player does have their own instrument, even if we can't hear it :)
I did join in.
Hearing them play made me pick up the Ocarina I had on my lap, the one thing aside from my glasses that had followed through this journey and played along with them as best I could. And given the connotations of the Ocarina in this day and age - that being Ocarina of Time - I think it's a fitting instrument for the player to have. It makes me wonder how he would play a 12 hole with only six fingers, though.

The banjo is iconic for Outer Wilds, but when I played it felt right and necessary that Solanum be the first to start playing. I love that every different combination of instruments joining the song feels slightly different, but always beautiful.
One of the moments that always brings me to tears is Esker being excited to play music around the bonfire with other folk again. In the end, it's the little moments above all else that we appreciate.
Even the OST is a spoiler! good thing I already played it, beautiful game, terrifying and beautiful.
nah its not that bad its more of a minor one
I didn't notice the piano when I listened to this, however after just visited the Quantum Moon and finished the game its heartbreakingly beautiful.
Merci The Great Review pour avoir produit la meilleure vidéo du CZcams francophone. Et merci à Outer Wilds d'exister.
mais quand même je m'en veux d'avoir cliqué dessus. La vidéo est vraiment EXCEPTIONNELLE, mais je donnerais tout pour l'oublier et faire le jeu moi même. Ce que j'ai ressenti devant la vidéo, j'imagine même pas ce que ca doit être en le faisant soi même.

Im not afraid to say this is one of the few songs I teared up listening too
This, this is what society can produce, an art not just in graphical design but it the storyline and music, that death is inevitable, but that it’s okay, it’s calming to the human brain but a reminder of a masterpiece and all the memories, while it’s just a game, it’s an inspiring and hopeful masterpiece that will make any man cry and appreciate life because in the end when everything and everyone dies, it starts over, this concept and this game shows us what mankind is capable of making and shows what a true memory is and this is why it’s a masterpiece, not just in the graphics or music but the experience and what you learn along the way, this game, this is the best thing humanity has produced and is a true masterpiece compared to anything, because it gives you this feeling, possibly sadness but also hope and that everything will work out in the end, it gives you a sense of security and of a game can do that this is the best god dam game ever to be created, the world is full of wonders and tragedy, but this game shows how beautiful life is and to appreciate every small detail, as I’m writing this I’m am crying, I’m sad but also happy that this game has put a new perspective and every time I hear this song, even when I’m 80 years old, I will still cry tears of sorrow and joy, and hope to look back on life and not to be afraid of death but look at it as if it’s a new beginning, one where everyone I have every loves is… This game is emotional and inspiring, and to anyone who plays it, some advice, it’s okay, everything will be fine, their not gone if they are still remembered, and don’t fear death, it will come sooner or later, but it’s just a whole new world, whether god is real or we recarnate or what ever you think, there is something beyond death, life…
I'm not familiar with the game, but, as I listened to this song progress, I began to get this feeling, like a dream that is unraveling, or perhaps even growing stronger in my memory.
Either way, I felt a bittersweet sense of nostalgia...
As the song faded, I felt like a part of me went with it.
Well if you want to play the game and you should then ignore this
If not heres the context of the song so watch out
Cus big spoilers
The song is basically your characters final moments
Standing in the quantum heart of the universe surounded by facsimiles of their fellow travelers of space because, at the end of the universe, confronted by the futility of their actions and impending end of everything...they only wanted to share it with those people whore now gone.
The song welcomes a new universe with the last spark of the old
So yeah youre spot on
@@vVAstrAVv Now I have another reason to play it:
So I can read the rest of your comment X)
did you play it?
If you travel outside the map far enough to see the sun go super nova...you'll get what I consider the loneliest end ever
Only after taking the core
Especially if you have the sun marked.
It just... blinks out. And that's it.
and if you don’t take the core, you’ll have only but yourself to talk to if you step into the ATP.
A love letter to the universe
Out of all the games I wish I could play for the first time again, it's this one.
For anyone reading this and have yet played this game--treasure that first experience.
