Outer Wilds | Story Explained, Narrative Analysed
6,771#OuterWilds #StoryExplained #NarrativeAnalysed
Outer Wilds' story involves quantum physics, time dilation, superposition and the singularity in a 22-minute time loop. So, no judgement if you want Outer Wilds' story explained.
Outer Wilds begins toasting marshmallows on an open fire, soon becoming a journey into uncharted space, an archaeological discovery of an extinct alien species, and the small matter of saving the universe.
Outer Wilds' narrative is centred in exploration - asking the player to uncover as much as possible before the sun goes supernova and resets the loop. It's both the fuel to keep going and a neat tie-in to the decisions we make in games - how our seemingly unlimited choices ultimately converge into a single reality the developer chose.
This is Outer Wilds' story explained and narrative analysed. Thanks for watching!
