Fauna Plays Outer Wilds: Episode 20 【Panic】

[@jeffrey_yu]

31:38 honestly, as someone that had less of a role in game design, I didn't do much trolling, but i certainly wouldn't put it past us as a team. I'll accept collectively being trolls. 59:21 for the record that's always been there, and i made it bigger in a patch. And yes tons of people miss it, it's fine, calm down chat. lol It is charming when people screencap or even better, get out pen and paper for our game, it's a bit nostalgic to me in that sense.

[@holomi2498]

Oh you worked on it? That's cool!

[@boranblok]

I did it with pen and paper. And I went to the game files and made a backup of the save first after performing a few dry-runs. As I really didn't know if that would survive [death]

[@Teurger]

Honestly, the only guaranteed way of making players notice that is making it blink, or something like that. It's the same colour, perfectly fits with the interface, and player is panicking. But since screencap exist, I see it as a perfect way to make players actually care about the password, which is rare in games - usually we just auto-input it or hack the lock in some mini-game.

[@Naeddyr]

What the...! Where did that come from?? I've been conditioned by the launch codes to ignore that bit as flavor!

[@linedterror2]

I've beaten the game and the DLC and never noticed before, even with your comment I had to look really hard to find it.

[@Jokexuz]

Her putting in the coordinates has proven to me one undeniable fact, this playthrough has been done completely blindfolded

[@creedow4663]

Honestly missing the vessel logs is worse than missing white hole station storywise

[@jimbob929]

Yeah I really hope she reads them eventually as she was theorizing about Nomai existing in the present, I feel like it contextualizes the ending to know the whole universe is dying of old age.

[@Splinterman]

"Why is it called a distress beacon when it sounds so comfy?" 🚨📢 Well, that's because it's a de-stress beacon!

[@iexplainjokesforaliving.5415]

ahh... i see what you did there

[@DownAtrocious]

Before this series ends, I just want to say I think it's cute how she never turns right to the log after putting on her suit, but instead turning 270 degrees left everytime

[@JbZeta]

spatial awareness, her greatest enemy

[@freshlyshowered]

She’s not an ambi-turner

[@goSuOtarU]

@@JbZeta Roronoa Fauna

[@Deadgye]

She really does have zoolander syndrome, huh?

[@andrejjjj2008]

Summarises this whole playthrough perfectly.

[@realkingtom]

The worst a girl can say to you is "No." Fauna to the WHS, "Whatever."

[@Ali-cya]

"Do you even matter ?"

[@Mace492]

It’s almost incredible how it seems like Past Fauna is in on the White Hole Station joke now. Also had a feeling that she’d cliffhanger this part, very devious Kirin

[@Zap_Rocket]

Fun Fact: The devs did, in fact, put that cactus there on purpose. It was added to prevent people from stumbling in early, and also to troll Fauna

[@devennoyaro7518]

Fauna death counter Supernova: 11 Fall damage: 6 Run out of oxygen: 13 ATP memory recall: 1 Eaten by fish: 3 Flying into the sun: 7 High speed impact: 4 Crushed by rising sand: 4 Pierced by cacti: 3 Ghost Matter: 6 Burned by the proximity of the sun: 1 Meditation: 17 Sand shower: 1 Engulfed by expansion of the sun: 1 Crash landing in the quantum moon: 3 True deaths: 3 (1 by supernova, 2 by fish) Total: 84 The end is near

[@luke_fabis]

Imagine if it all ends with 86 deaths.

[@lunarian_6664]

Thank you for service Sapling I wonder what the final tally would be

[@Unit-Lost]

I'm really impressed that Fauna never died by leaving the ship without the suit. She might be the only one to never do it out of the playthroughs that I've seen.

[@Deadgye]

@@Unit-Lost I think she did that exactly once on one of the first handful of loops.

[@devennoyaro7518]

She actually has not died by forgetting to put on the suit I had a separate category prepared for that if it ever happened

[@Erionn.]

Panic sets in as I realize the game is coming to its end, and there remains still a large question mark in the ship log, never to be found...

[@Winsor1986]

She can still play the dlc, there's still time to find out what WHS is. :)))))

[@extraho88]

It's just there for a flavour

[@dietrichtrepnau7920]

Maybe she will realize that the WHS is right behind the shuttle at the White hole

[@adrikbert]

I've got bad news...

[@ultrareconking]

I legitimately have no idea what you're talking about. The question mark is just there for flavor. Is it really that bad???

[@EndeadXx]

("can I go in this way? Oh, maybe not" -girl looking at the entry) really sums this playthrough up lol. Still, this is the most organic playthrough I've yet seen, and Fauna did perfectly fine. Well done fauna, I eagerly await tomorrow's finale.

[@Blechmamber]

You know the excitement is real, when Fauna doesn't even try to look for the missing lore.

[@xenrisvandam1589]

"Kalimba is not a ranged instrument" Fauna 2024

[@Solizeus]

We learned in this playthrough that Fauna is a space Anglerfish, blind with little memory of what she read and did, but she is a good cook

[@adrikbert]

WHS: never. Lore of the vessel that answered her questions: never. Kirin seeing the coordinated so helpfully written in the bottom left so that you didn't have to have gone out of the game to input the code: NEVER. Thanks for this eventful stream! Looking forward to you completing the real ending!

[@TheLeviathan1293]

15:05 It has not eluded you, dear Past Fauna. You have eluded it.

[@OutruntheWind]

>"I could have learned so much more if I just stuck around some places a little longer." >Proceeds to tunnel vision on getting to the end game for an entire episode when there are still question marks on the ship log.

[@RenEizen]

I don't think she's going to go to the WHS you guys

[@APaleDot]

Episode 22

[@RexusprimeIX]

I still have hope. Maybe she'll warp back home real quick to check it out then go back to the Eye?

[@SchifferThe2nd]

It's so funny to see her ship just Leroy Jenkins'd through the anglerfish, just for her to get caught right after.

[@punpundit5590]

I really appreciate that this is prerecorded, I don't think I could have stopped myself from yelling "just don't touch your controls near anglerfish, Fauna!" in chat.

[@Deadgye]

So most of the notable stuff Fauna missed by the end of this episode is: - Vessel lore board #1, #2, and the lore in the downstairs room. - The Ash Twin Project warning that removing the warp core will disable the Ash Twin Project. - Additional dialog with practically all of the travelers. - The inside of the White Hole Station. - Hollow's Lantern lore and party skeleton. - The High Energy Lab experiment. - What happens inside the Ash Twin Project at the end of the loop. And also the result of testing out your curiosity. - What happens when you're outside the range of the supernova when time loops. - Watching the supernova from the map. - Various small bits of lore and lore text that she missed, misread, or immediately forgot because she was skimming in panic / excitement.

[@kitsunami7251]

She did see what happened when you're outside the range once, she just didn't realize it

[@mono-ub4vc]

There is also a room with lore above the anglerfish fossil cave that she missed because she didn't look up.

[@Erionn.]

Hopefully she'll get the vessel lore next episode. Also, by her words she hasn't even seen the outside of the white hole station

[@Athenor]

There is a CHANCE that with the pressure off and gravity on, she'll explore the vessel more. It is a very small chance, but it is still a chance.

[@ixmucane20031]

There's also the stuff that she didn't quite put together, like the "shortcuts" to get to The Vessel faster (going with the ship by building up momentum, skipping the beacon by aiming for the red light / marking it from the rumor board), or how to land on the Quantum Moon properly.

[@MiseryMisume]

Panic. Unlike the previous episodes, which have been notoriously Calm

[@darklight1797]

Watching her do the dark bramble is like her trying to get on the quantum moon again. Its also interesting how in her first couple of episodes she wasnt scared of dark bramble completely oblivious to the horrors within, but now...

[@cyanophyceae]

Nooo worst (or best?) cliffhanger ever 34:52 : honkshoo mi mi mi 42:34 : Fauna's ship went further than she did

[@hunterdot]

I already miss past Fauna...we'll never see her again after this is done Can imagine there is going to be a lot of fish related deaths and salty kirin this episode, that's always a winning combo. Hope you feel better soon present Fauna

[@BBTManiac]

Fauna without sapling backseating as she goes about doing Kirin things hits way different. Her pure and adulterated or untainted joy in discovering what she can was all such an amazing experience

[@brendanleal6823]

PAST FAUNAS GONNA GRADUATE

[@boranblok]

I am honestly looking forward to the 30+ minute compilation of Fauna looking straight at the WHS while not seeing it.

[@marcelochen8687]

She's legit about to finish the game without finding the WHS lol

[@conornolan4310]

To be absolutely fair to Fauna, on the first glpyh on that coord part it doesn't look like you can draw those kind of diagonals. Intuitively the lines between all the vertices seem like the only viable paths, especially since the other two glyphs follow them exactly.

[@SentientSapling]

'A kalimba is not a ranged instrument' - Fauna She is correct, based on my knowledge of bonks, it is a melee weapon for sure.

[@ghosty515]

Did us so dirty with that ending but amazing all the same lol! Thanks for another fun episode Fauna! Looking forward to the finale!!

[@nttea]

Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa.

[@Canada-Goose]

Fauna decided to fly around aimlessly above the sand thrice instead of using that time to look for while hole station while she waited for the sand.

[@Awesomeplace1]

Cant wait for the next episode where we find the White Hole Station at the Eye!

[@deadzipper1777]

Panic is pretty a much a perfect title for the end game sections

[@itosaga]

One more episode left! I'm going to miss this series...The memes, Pon moments and WHS. Such good times

[@Sonicmaster2008]

She's getting there! Looks like Past Fauna is getting close to the end! But I expected some sort of cliffhanger to happen since the next episode is the last one. Looking forward to the finale! Thanks for the episode Fauna!

[@ChocoLatteDX]

Man, what a cliffhanger! But you were really gaming out there, Past Fauna!

[@AgentMidnight]

Fauna actually did it. The first ever No-WHS% Speedrun!

[@wcatsearw878]

What I have learned so far: Reading =/= Understanding. Even if you read and collected every lore and Info, it's useless if you can't UNDERSTAND those.

[@alfop6405]

Yep. Reading comprehension is very important

[@chainn768]

She will have far better explanation in dlc

[@b2modby]

@@chainn768 She wont if she doesn't find the nomai ship log on the vessel... Which I dont think she will.

[@supanjibobu372]

I think its fine cuz shes probably the type to go watch "outer wilds explained" type videos

[@TheLeviathan1293]

She has a lot of thinking and rereading to do after she finishes if she wants to understand all that happened

[@InceyWincey]

We could all learn a thing or two from Fauna’s positive reframing in this episode. It is an absolute masterclass. The calming sounds of the distress beacon, the relaxing effect of the sleeping angler fish. How cute they are, lighting up our world and they don’t even know it. In another life Fauna was clearly some kind of monk.

[@nousernameleft999]

its not frustrating to watch others play this game, it's the only way to get a new playthrough

[@Mineur123]

The amount of adorable, cute and panic kirin noises in this episode must be an all time high I love it

[@killercart]

So the series is almost coming to its end. It has been a ride. Thanks for the episode 20, Fauna.

[@BrandonEnjoyer]

She miss all the logs on the vessel omg

[@hantakorys]

Scared Fauna continues to be really cute Though I honestly understand what it's like being too immersed, I too get like this in games but with heights. Fauna's increased rambling reminded the me of the frog ASMR a little bit WE WERE SO CLOSE

[@karenpojar2514]

Fauna: "I am sure the DLC isnt that scary" Echos of the Eye: "are you sure about that?"

[@Sekainoowaride]

In this Episode Fauna still thinks the ship and jetpack thrusters are "silent".

[@S.N.I.P.]

Lets Gooo! LP Fauna is gaming so hard this episode. ... Is what I would say if it wasn't for that absolutely cruel cliffhanger. Guess we have to watch tomorrows part huh? Was gonna do that anyway.

[@Vorthein]

Hope you get to go back and see some of the stuff you missed, there is some important lore bits still around. I knew this would be the cliffhanger too, it hurts but I'm so excited to see your final reaction to everything

[@shepherdwilloww]

I usually don't mind cliffhangers, but that one was just absolutely evil! You could even hear the guilt in the "faunwell" Looking forward to the next episode!

[@Saphust]

no way she ended RIGHT there, as if it was calculated Great episode!

[@yesthatpaul]

I'm looking forward to the retrospective on this series. It's really funny to know she ended 2023 knowing this was how her 2024 content catalog would begin.

[@crashairsprig]

Thanks for the ep! But more importantly, I hope you feel better soon! Gotta say I was def expecting the cliffhanger to be a death, but gaming Kirin got there in the end Also don't worry about that pesky warp code in the bottom left of the screen, I never saw that either, screenshot for me too

[@seemslikely]

Thanks for the stream, Fauna! Pretty impressive you were able to make it, given your handicaps of not Dozing off, not Marking the Vessel, and not fully understanding how to be as silent as possible! I also hope you find the time to go back and check out the juicy lore on the Vessel you missed! I can't wait to see the finale tomorrow, but I'm also glad there's still DLC because I don't want it to be over! Also feel better, Present Fauna

[@UnscentedCamel]

Yup, I can already feel it. I'm going to get choked up during the finale again.

[@brendanleal6823]

CRAZY cliffhanger. Such an amazing journey. I am going to miss PFauna

[@JustChiaki]

Surely my oshi wouldn't end on the worst cliffhanger possible and make us all wait a whole day to find out what happened, right? Jokes aside, I'm so excited to see the end! Fauna was gaming this episode. Crazy there's only one more to go!

[@heartwagon]

The cliffhanger crime has been committed! We're finally at the end of prerecorded fauna journey and yes she didn't go uncover what lies behind the last question mark in the ship log before finishing the game and possibly questioning the actions she's about to do... Thanks for the episode Fauna! ::)

[@Desgaroth]

I find it incredibly funny. Fauna missed the WHS so many times, even looking at it and deciding it must be a shuttle. Now she just goes "The WHS must be a Troll. they just put that Question mark there to Troll us." If i didn't know better, i would say that Fauna is Trolling us with that.

[@wi11i9m]

These titles make sense everytime I finish the ep Anyways just wanted to say thank you for the OW eps you left us! GWS Fauna

[@Kayessi5]

Thank you for the great episode Gonna go think about fields of anglerfish while I wait for the next episode GWS present Fauna

[@LegacyStar]

I've honestly really enjoyed Fauna's playthrough and watching chat's reaction, completely unable to interact with her. I hope Fauna's had a right good laugh at us. This series has been constantly flipping from one extreme to the next. Hopefully, once she's back Fauna can sit down and look back at it with us, maybe she'll even learn a rule or two.

[@williamjr3413]

Flora might be my very Evil oshi but Fauna might take the cake for this cliffhanger MILF

[@SkeIIum]

Honestly, expected the cliffhanger here. It's the best spot for it. I am sure Fauna has seen the instructions on the bottom left of the screen in editing this.

[@RKMusou]

That WHS superchat nearly killed me, thank you.

[@8man_01]

Oh my god this was the most epic gamer episode of all time! She did it in her own Fauna way. But that part just before the cliffhanger!

[@roarlandsteelskin6084]

Thank you for the video Fauna. Drove us right over the cliff and hit end. Time to

[@omegagiga]

It’s time to what?! Not another cliffhanger!!

[@TheLeviathan1293]

14:03 Fauna meditating herself to death after not searching for lore. Also Fauna noises.

[@wrathisme4693]

*Fauna not realizing how momentum and the angler fish work as her ship effortlessly coasts passed the fish and she gets eaten is the most Fauna thing I've seen*

[@sleipnir_8364]

Cool. Calm. Confident. Cirin. Ceres. Cliffhanger.

[@Styxvalen]

Panic really sums up the final stretch of the game (and tbh many other parts too depending on each person's fears) (edit) Fauna understand what to do, but the question is if she can do it now That room in Dark bramble with all the Anglefish... 9:15 once again, she is like an anglerfish not seeing stuff right in front of her and she missed all the lore in the Vessel, its incredible _Fauna will try to finish the game and there is more than half the video left_ She will die a lot, isnt it? Fauna is so scared of literally everything, how cute First try: Failed because of anglerfish, we will get it next time Second try: just like the first one... Kirin is not calm at all and now is in full copium mode Third try: mission successful! now lets wait for her to notice the coordinates in the screen instead of her phone What a cliffhanger, I hope she doesnt miss the rest of the lore in the Vessel since it answers some doubts she had during this episode

[@team4star1]

It is now that we can put WHS to rest, it’s too bad it never existed literally right next to the white hole, it’s definitely not super visible and easy to get to. Very sad that it was absolutely definitely not in this playthrough, must’ve been a bug.

[@Akumasama]

You mean the shuttle, right? The white hole shuttle, of course.

[@durrem]

Known bug

[@MisterVeeg]

that cliffhanger is mean still, good work getting through the fish gauntlet under pressure. Hope Past Fauna enjoyed the ending, it's quite something

[@endystarboy647]

Holy MOLY she is super close to the end of Outer Wilds! definitely super looking forward to see what happened tomorrow!!

[@nicolasvignolo7601]

IDK why but the thing with the L shape happened to me too, it didn't make sense to my brain, until it did

[@StaroxideRaycraft]

Today on Fauna Ludicrously Panics through Outer Wilds: we are finally at the end game. Through Fauna's perseverance (and the chat's sodium levels ) she managed to finally figure out the puzzles that will ultimately lead her to the truth of everything that happened! And we end on a cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers. What will happen next time?

[@Turtyo]

NOT THE CLIFFHANGER can't wait for tomorrow !

[@deadzipper1777]

The biggest Cliffhanger known to man! Can't wait to finish the ending tomorrow

[@PermaSleepyRobot]

Cliffhangers reaching criminal levels

[@victorlolo2008]

get well soon Fauna

[@abluerobot]

I hope you feel better soon. This playthrough has been fantastic

[@Spitznock]

The endgame in Outer Wilds is so bittersweet.

[@jackcrescend]

Truly a fitting end to the WHS saga, the champion of all the mysteries in Outer Wilds remains hidden to this day.

[@YTPaul3]

Panic is indeed flowing in her vein now I cannot believe game dev put a giant question mark as a troll on my ship log and I am fuming and shaking in rage.. Anyways, one last episode to end the journay of Fauna's Outer Wilds adventure. Love this unique playthrough!

[@ZeezyTop]

I can't believe you've done this

[@TheLeviathan1293]

43:13 Imagine Fauna being louder than her ship. I'd hope that gives her a good idea that she can use her ship without any issue.

[@Saplingbat]

I could tell it was coming and that cliff hanger still dealt me immense psychic damage

[@Supa_Zero]

Please get well soon Fauna

[@megamcee]

The hangeriest cliff to ever hang

[@GiftingStray]

Turns out she was a real space hero after all.

[@TheLeviathan1293]

15:20 If you're not ready, then you have someone to meet. Certain WHS person.

[@Byzantine343]

Absolutely devilish cliffhanger Past Fauna

[@Iamsamyesiam]

Im pretty sure I read about this cliff hanger in the Geneva convention..

[@AndyAtHome]

Anglerfish ate good today XD I can't wait for the finale!

[@rakobi3777]

This cliffhanger is too cruel

[@SirZotolo]

I never noticed the coordinates appear on the bottom left....

[@Huminei]

Why must you do this to us Fauna... Fun episode nonetheless! The entire let's play was very fun and enjoyable. I am excited to see it completely finished and see how you will react

[@RrmanRS]

That is the most brutal cliffhanger in all of anime Looking forward to the finale and the DLC later

[@prettybuzz7632]

I joined chat with my pitchfork when PF didn’t see the coordinates on screen. Although I didn’t see them in my screen when I played the game either

[@JavaStrike]

Can't believe she just did that to us.
