There's a lot of ground to cover across the Outer Wilds.

The first plunge one is presented with what seems rather ramshackle technology in a the apex settlement of a stellar system. There's a sense of tranquility, almost pastoral, which sets a fitting tone for the remaining minutes one will spend. There's a tension between the simple and the deeper mysteries that require deeper inquiries.

Lift-off is liberating. You'll see the distinctive bodies and set your systems toward one. There will be long-gone communications to decipher, as well as companions broadcasting to guide you to their holdings.

Then, it's all drawn back, in a great rush of memory, and with a jolt you are back comfortable by the fire in a very familiar quaint settlement.

There are still many mysteries to be found on those bodies, and your memory will be a guide.

Hold your breath around the anglerfish, though.
