Outer Wilds Main Menu Drift Easter Egg

The longer you wait at the Outer Wilds title screen, the more the game has an in-joke about itself, as stars begin to supernova in the background, and the title is pulled farther and farther apart by gravity. If I missed anything else going on as time passes, make sure to let me know.

I just discovered this on accident in game and it's so cool because not only does it mirror the ending, it follows the time frame too. Anything after 22 minutes must mean you've made it to the eye, and everything only starts fade after 22 min.

the firts time i booted the game, i was in awe from the intro presentarion and music. i had to prepare my dinner so i left the music as background, when i came back i saw the tittle drifting and far less starts in the sky, i just stood there waching the screen going dark, having little understanding of what that meaned, fascinated for the entropy , and fully knowing that this would be a great game. O wow, what a journey, i m glad i stopped to smell the pines along the way

Aw, no achievement? Haha. I just wanted to hear the music for a while, but recalled something about an Easter egg…. Glad I checked.
