Unraveling the Lore of Outer Wilds | Timeline EXPLAINED!

[@overusedbruh]

I have good news and bad news. Good news is that people seem to love the video which is great because I loved making it! Bad news is that this will most likely be the last Outer Wilds video I make. I would love to make more but honestly I’m not sure what else I could do. I did this video which covers basically the whole story, and the iceberg which covers almost everything outside of the story. And while that is sad news I’m super proud of both these videos and I hope you will continue to stick with me as I make videos similar to this one for other games you love. ::)

[@monodia180]

I mean Outer Wilds is about accepting things have an end so I dont mind

[@MyzoryMaiq]

Only way that works is if you do the next video on something else you are super passionate about because I don't think you will find success if you just jump on the flavor of the month band wagon. I wish you the best of luck broham

[@alargefarva4274]

You’re punching waaaaaaaaay above your sub count with this. I’ll watch the iceberg video next✅

[@MrSomeguy226]

Amazing video! You covered all of the lore but you didn’t touch on the events past the hearthians catching up to what’s going on! That would be a good video! Unless I’m an idiot and you already have one out. Either way I love well explained lore breakdowns such as these and you nailed it!

[@JonathanKanelis]

You could try looking into the game’s many achievements and speed-running community? Good guides are rare to come along.

[@jhamPlays]

Dude this is THE Outer Wilds lore video.

[@Supermac97451]

I love the idea that the owl guys technology is good enough to store consciousness onto a computer, but they hadn’t got as far as full motion video

[@overusedbruh]

Obviously this was a deliberate choice for gameplay but maybe they just don’t process information as fast as we do. Maybe for them that frame rate is normal.

[@victor-ling]

@@overusedbruh To be pedantic ... if that frame rate is normal to them then wouldn't it make sense for their simulation to run at that frame rate. Not dissimilar to how we target our VR headset frame rates to what can trick our brains?

[@Harmoniou-s]

​@@victor-lingwe put VR at the fastest possible framerate, not at what our brains can be tricked on. The human brain "runs" at over 2000 fps, most VR headsets run at 90 fps. Higher framerates are always better.

[@victor-ling]

@@Harmoniou-s If I concede that point, then my original statement still stands. See this isn't a conversation about what the best VR experience for humans is. This is a conversation about a completely made up alien race in a video game's technology progression... So if "more framerate is always better" then why didn't they develop full motion video?

[@ceasarsalazar5940]

​@@Harmoniou-s correction: human brains don't run on fps at all. Our eyes function fundamentally differently to cameras, if anything we see "infinite" frames per second.

[@DeathDefiant]

I can't remember where i saw the comment, but it was something like: 1 eye called out 2 eyes tried to hide it 3 eyes tried to find it, and 4 eyes managed to unbind it...

[@gustavoemmanuel6117]

It was in the video for the soundtrack "Echoes of the eye" 😅

[@DeathDefiant]

That's probably it lol. Still a good quote@@gustavoemmanuel6117

Holy shit

[@MrHumannnn]

Oh, hey. This one rhymes.

[@SkunkfapGaming]

found the original comment. honestly I think you worded it much better tbh.

[@kevintoutcourt4164]

Remember next time you think your life amounts to nothing. You don't know the consequences of this "nothing" and how significant you were to this universe in the end. I lost my mother recently shortly after completing Outer Wilds. This game prepared me for times of grieving, helped me to make to know how to say farewell to a loved one even if I'd give everything to have those damned twenty-two minutes to go back and keep her alive. I hope Outer Wilds helped many other people to deal with loss and existential dread. Thank you for the work you've done and to all of you fellow travelers, take time to roast a marshmallow. The night sky is beautiful, company is good and who knows ? Maybe this moment could be the most important of your life, even if it lasts only twenty-two minutes.

[@thenitpick7277]

Gods almighty, that voice-acted recording of Escall's Folly (24:00) is absolutely heartbreaking. I lejit got choked up hearing it and remembering the first time I read the scroll walls inside the Vessel for the first time, putting myself inside the Nomais' heads as their home collapsed around them without warning, with no way to fix it or call for help. 100/10 video.

[@GregBallotepitech]

Imagine doing that with the graveyard scene in dark bramble. Where they die hugging each other knowing it's their end

[@Liam-vq7rz]

now I want voice acting for the sun station failing scroll, where they also notice the interloper too

[@rootdarkarchon]

For what it's worth and if anyone finds and reads this, it's a part of the Outer Wilds voice acting mod that can be found on outerwildsmods. That makes the majority of the game completely voice acted. It definitely does add to the experience.

Wasn't it mentioned in the game that Nomais have basically mined away all the metals so wood was a all that was left?

@@ceasarsalazar5940 oh ok

[@guttsu]

Every time I'm reminded of this game I get emotional. Can't believe how great of a job they did on such a "small" scale game (still a ton of work obviously went into it). Even just hearing the banjo line gets me.

[@eliplayz22]

That banjo rendition of the Travellers song is imo the jingle of Outer Wilds. When I was thinking about the game again last night, I was listening to this song and it too, made me cry

[@tamkish]

For anyone wanting to "experience" the EotE but is incredibly incompatible with horror games (like me) and cannot finish the DLC on their own, lookup "About Oliver" and his playthrough series. It's a good alternative to getting the puzzle pieces in somewhat intended order and slowly figuring out what's going on.

[@dangallagher6176]

Just finished EotE about an hour ago, some parts of it were terrifying lol

[@mynamejeff4142]

I enjoyed using reduced frights setting. Couldn't beat it without it.

[@dsotm629]

Y'know what? I was gonna make a joke comment, but this video actually just deserves a heartfelt "thank you and well done". So thank you. And well done! The way that you ended this, by allowing the rest of the lore to be explained by our own individual experience of the game, was so perfect that it immediately brought back my entire memory of playing this game from years ago. Bravo!

[@overusedbruh]

I’m glad someone picked up on this. Some people are saying the ending is rushed but I made it that way for this exact reason.

[@PixelQuick]

I love that the nomai were so advanced that once they checked their equipment was functioning correctly, the only explanation was that the eye was no longer broadcasting its signal. That's how sure they were of their tech

[@AdrienDessimoz]

Same goes for the time shift. "I guess it could be a hardware issue on our tools, still I'm gonna check if we did not just discover time travel"

[@GuilhermeJPeres]

I am not able to understand how a MASTERPIECE like this is under 1 million views. Congratilations for your PERFECT job with editing, scripting and everything else. I wish you all the best.

[@loganatori6117]

Sucks that outer wilds is kinda niche by design. Doesn't get much popularity

[@finmason8339]

Give it time

[@mostlydaniel]

My theory is that the signal you hear from the eye of the universe is the music that the previous universe's people played similar to how the hearthians (and guests) play outer wilds ventures around the campfire at the end of the game. That would also imply that in the next universe, people would hear the sound of outer wilds ventures coming from the eye

[@TheGordonFryman]

I love this idea! It's interesting that i'd imagine any music from another universe would sound very alien and weird, like the quantum fluctuations we hear. Or maybe the quantum fluctuations are distortions of that same music, deteriorated through trillions of years

[@Steve-lu1nc]

I like to imagine that the Mobius Digital team had a watchparty for this video. The amount of work you put into it is staggering and it really shows, thank you!

[@NickSchoenfeld]

This is one of those videos you get cozy for and stream on your TV, not phone, staring with wide eyes like you’re watching a great movie, if you love the game. You should proud - It’s rare to experience on KZbin and uncommon on most platforms.

[@dominkbarnett9837]

Yup that made me feel something

[@Incrediblefatslug]

I just finished the game a few days ago. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. Tomatoanus posted a speedrun explained video. Then, your content pops out of no where. Outerwilds is definitely trending again.

[@ifroad33]

It really is trending. Just picked it up and finished in by playing day in, day out. Probably the best gaming experience I’ve had for many years. And now that I unlocked the ability to watch youtube videos about the game, I’m just as excited to hear other people’s experiences 😅

[@rickygiove]

I honestly cried a couple times while watching this video driving to work. Well, I'm in the office right now and i feel myself tearing up once again. This video is a great conclusion of a great videogame. In the beginning you said this game changed your life and i have no idea why - it didn't make me rich, it didn't give me new knowledges, nothing of that. But i cannot help but agree with you, now literally everyday i end up thinking about this experience or bits of it. It's just incredible. Thank you Edit: btw, side note.. great editing, building and writing too. This is a very well made video regardless of the subject

[@nyehentertainment]

I think it’s because Outer Wilds puts into perspective, better than any other way I’ve ever seen or heard it communicated, the insignificance of any one being within the scope of the universe as a whole. And I think if everybody understood that, and treated others in accordance with it, we’d all be better, and better off, human beings. Or at least that’s why I cry whenever the experience of OW hits me like it can.

[@rickygiove]

@@nyehentertainment in a way, you are correct. But at the same time, i feel exactly the opposite. I think OW shows you how fundamental was every single bit of thought, word, action that everyone did. It's a choral effort towards the goal, made by 3 different species through hundreds of thousands of years, and every little decision could have led to a different outcome, maybe the end of it all. One thing that always strikes me - because it's the opposite of what humans would do - is that the nomai discovered a new and sensational material, and took exactly what they needed and not a bit more, to allow future species (us) to thrive. The human race would have consumed it all and destroyed the planet, I'm pretty sure

[@nyehentertainment]

@@rickygiove Re: “maybe the end of it all.” - yes yes YES…but it wouldn’t matter because it’s all going to get tossed and reborn again regardless. And absolutely on humanity.

[@GeorgeTsiros]

you were _watching youtube_ while _driving_ ?

[@infectedpotato117]

the nomai are such badasses. its such a shame they went out like that

[@TheCorrodedMan]

That’s the sad thing about it all. They were victims of cosmic chance, but in the end, they succeeded.

[@pumpkinboyo6459]

This might be my favorite thing on KZbin about Outer Wilds. The comprehensiveness, the voice acting, the dedication, I come back to this over and over again just to listen to you explain this wonderful game to me as many times as I can. Bravo for this, this is a masterpiece.

[@CadenceWalker-y1c]

The reason timber hearth was protected from ghost matter is because when there is water present, ghost matter doesnt work the same as other does in the air. Hearthians descended from tadpole like creatures that the nomai discovered. This also means you can walk through ghost matter if it is submerged underwater.

[@Dommy610]

Okay, yeah you were right. Thanks for telling me to go play Echoes of the Eye before coming back. You're a real one.

[@mateibradescu635]

Absolutely amazing video!!! Bloody brilliant! You finally did justice to this amazing game! Thanks so so so much!

[@overusedbruh]

::)

[@catbreakout]

Just came across this video and one hour has never gone this fast as watching this video! Well done! What I also like about the owlks is that, at the ending, given you free the prisoner, he stands in the dark, away from the campfire. He shows guilt over his species closing off the signal of the eye. Even after all the years that he is imprisoned by his own kind, he still takes blame of what they've done. It really shows how emotional the owlks can be.

[@gonzalorosciolesi6502]

I really like how you condensed all the information but I'd like to point out your really good writing (as I assume this video had a script) on the "End Times" and "The Next Generation" segments. It is really emotional to me at least, thank you.

[@kartonrad]

Duede, this is so fucking sick! To think how long it must have taken to write this script, and to serialize the branching narrative, arranging sections deliberatly to create tension, rising and falling action within your script! It's fucking sick! The amount of effort you put into this is crazy! I am also suprised how almost every little detail of thr nomais history got covered - Arringing them into a sensible order must have been a lot of work Especially the ash twin projects convergent nature - how many divisions and working groups came together, and how everything has to click into place for the nomais insane plan to work These are details that you built out if the existing narrative that i found very satisfying to imagine. You told the story like a tangible engineering project And at the end i found that i learned new things about the nature of the time loops- How exactly the statue came to be activated and how many times we died in the alternate simulated loop realities with no memories of it. I hope our comments can justify the amount of effort in your mind! And don't stress about making more OW content as yous ay in your pinned comment You have proven that you can retell stories in long form and write compellingly -so when youre in the right place again and drop another banger, it has a good chance of finding people ::)

[@NathanHampton]

This video did Outer Wilds justice. I knew there had to be a story recap out there from someone who loved the game, and it is very clear from the quality of this video that you love the game dearly, too. Outer Wilds is hauntingly beautiful. A game like no other. I am still in awe of how real it all feels. What all the characters went through in search of the Eye of the Universe, and how we end up thrust in the story at the end of the universe, is a wild ride. Thank you very much for the work you put into this. I loved every moment of it and the game.

[@Dkgow]

Knowing in the end now that the "start" of the game is actually the 9millionth iteration of your character "starting" their journey just makes it even more amazing that this game was made the way it was. My only question about it, other than to make a perceived notion that you are on a different timeline, why wouldn't the probe be sent to the same direction every single time after you are communicated and linked with the statue?

[@overusedbruh]

The loop technically begins slightly before you wake up where the OPC adjusts its position randomly.

[@Dkgow]

@@overusedbruhThat's right, so while you get linked the one time, you "technically" aren't getting linked every time. It is just a way for us as the player to understand?

[@overusedbruh]

@Dkgow You only get linked the first loop you play in because canonically that’s the loop the probe finds the Eye. So the loops before you did pass the statue but never linked with it because the probe didn’t find the Eye. I think that answers your question but i’m not sure.

[@BanzaiHeil]

​@@DkgowI think the answer to the question you are asking lies in some Nomai text about the statue on the Orbital Cannon remaining linked to the Ash Twin Project so that the data is retained on where the cannon has fired/searched for the Eye unsuccessfully in previous loops, thus the next loop the cannon fires in a new random direction every time.

[@Bubbly_Dragon]

It's the only actual plothole I can think of. The loop was exactly 22 minutes, and you wake up right at the start of that, which obviously doesn't give the cannon enough time to turn before firing

[@jerri1918]

DAMN! the Escall's Vessel scene hits 10 times harder with that reenactment! 10/10 stuff!!!!

[@nothanks9912]

Amazing video! I've spent the last couple of weeks obsessively playing Outer Wilds. I've finished the main section of the game this video is such a great way to wrap it all up and help me see the story in its entirety. The story is so complex I really needed someone to lay it all out in detail the way you did. Thank you, you did such a good job, I've liked and subscribed immediately after I finished watching. ❤❤

[@spidergirlspinnerets]

This video is nothing short of a masterpiece, and conveys the exact same wonder I felt with every node in the game. You are a truly talented writer and producer, and have wholly created a worthy tribute, media in orbit, reflecting the curiosities and beauty of what it is reflecting. I truly cannot wait to see what you create next, as while it is tempting to linger here and hope for more, your further possibilities will forever remain as such if we only sit.

[@Tomahawkist_]

this is amazing. i never played the game by myself sadly, but i was always in a voicecall with a friend when he played, so we experienced it together, and we are still gushing about how awesome it is.

[@elwen9477]

OK, i'm just starting the video and i already want to thank you for the warning concerning the dlc, i finished the base game a while ago and i just bought the dlc yesterday, i really want to watch the vid but don't want to be spoiled. So thank you for thinking about people in my position, much appreciated ♥ Edit: Finished the video, it's a banger

[@rayceo4477]

I really love how this video goes through the whole story chronologically. Pretty much every other Outer Wilds video I’ve seen has the narrator explain their personal experience, and they describe the way the story unfolded for them specifically. It’s nice, but this video here does it without a narrator’s perspective. It’s just THE story which is really good. And quite well made too. I like the music synchronization!

[@Iker-m6z]

This video is SEVERELY underrated!! Thank you so much for giving me such a detailed and easy to follow explanation of the lore of Outer Wilds. I now understand everything much better ::)

[@honeywagondriver88]

This video, and the way you constructed it, allowed me to fall back into what it felt like when I played this game and slowly unraveled these mysteries for the first time. I didn't think anything would ever give me even a portion of that feeling again, but here we are. Thank you for the amazing video ❤

This video is a beautiful experience and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who has played the game. Thank you

[@brezals]

WOW. I have watched many OW videos. 20+ lets plays/streams of this game. But never did it ever occur to me, that 22 minute loop actually happened to the player, as many times as you learn the probe had launched. And finally that text about how the ash twin can make the nomai aware of issues, makes perfect sense, which I guess I thought I understood, but I kind of did not. Until I saw the end of your video. and I thought this game couldn't blow my mind anymore.

[@caeden9974]

RIGHT. I was so confused why he said after you get the launch codes you’re uninterrupted, trying to remember if my play through years ago I was interrupted. Never did I put together that WE went through the loop unknowingly until the coordinates were found.

[@jinsoulsscalp]

What blows my mind about this game is just how MUCH thought went into it. Like the world is not just there, and things aren’t just the way they are. EVERYTHING is based on something and has relation to something

[@sepiar7682]

That was so good!! I loved the sense of deep time it gave me, while also providing really nice descriptions of motivations and events. This is going on my "Great Outer Wilds Video Essays" playlist!

[@leaf1673]

Theory: Prisoner was the (or if not, one of the) official owlk artists, and when the prisoner went to the eye signal to watch it to paint it/put it in a slide reel, he saw the full vision which was the rebirth of the universe (which he painted at 17:08 )(excuse the rough wording im not stellar at making theories but when theres a painting called “Prisoners Prophecy” its gotta mean something)

[@twogenjis4863]

production value on this is crazy, great job

[@otherguyschris]

great video, well made. only some parts of the lore you got wrong, the first time the statue activates is when the eye was finally found, which is why it activated, making You aware. the probe launcher was going for millions of loops before the game started. Also, timber hearth was not exempt from the ghost matter, the hearthians only survived because they had not yet evolved out of the water, which protects all organisms from the ghost matter

[@WoodlandDrake]

An interesting fact is that the Nomai plan was flawed, not only for the fact that they couldn't trigger a supernova, but because (even if they could trigger the supernova) if the Eye signal could never be located by the probe then there would be no way to undo the supernova and their clan would have been wiped out by their own hubris. A technician would only be wrangled into the Ash Twin Project once the Eye was located, and while it eventually WAS located, if 22 minutes wasn't enough or the Eye could be located but never reported then the Ash Twin Project would never have brought anyone in to stop the Sun Station from firing. Tangentially, the Hearthians were almost seemingly part of the Eye's natural cycle; if the Elk and Nomai had never entered the system, then the Hearthians would have had access to the abundance of resources that the Nomai used, as well as the signal of the Eye drawing them in. Without any competitors, the Hearthians almost seemed predestined to locate the Eye.

I was just thinking about Outer Wilds last night when I had a repressed memory: I was a little kid who was just starting to learn about space and I tried building a homemade spaceship out of junk at my grandparents house (of course it didn’t work and I remember at that time being very sad about it). Now, I’ve played and beat Outer Wilds and realized that (at least in my opinion) one of the reasons why Outer Wilds is so great is that it recreates that same wish to explore that I had as a little kid, that motivated my biggest hyperfixation that is astronomy, and what motivated the Hearthians in the game. If you are one of those people who likes reading comments before watching the video, as the person who did an amazing job and posted this said, please go play Outer Wilds yourself. You won’t regret it

[@potatobearsmo]

This is incredible. I hope this picks up as much attention as the famous Hollow Knight lore video by mossbag, because both stories are definitely worth sharing, and any game with a story this good needs a video that explains it in my opinion, which this video absolutely qualifies for.

[@vernondesouza1974]

so glad i found this video, have tears in my eyes remembering my journey that we all undertook. My only regret is that i wont experience it the same way again.

[@DiabloGoldSecrets]

Only thing missing from this masterpiece of a video is the probe flying by at the end. You get it for using it in a certain way before the end of the game.

[@zows4]

this video made me appreciate the story of the game even more than i did before. you really did some great storytelling of your own, hitting the emotional beats very well so that i'm now quite weepy 😅. i can't wait to come back to it once i've played echoes of the eye (thank you for making it easily skippable)

[@Xelaria]

As an aspiring movie director and a big fan of many video games. I always wanted to make movie adaptations of them (like actually good ones) for games like Celeste. And so I want to make an outer wilds movie as tribute to the beauty it gave me. But then I fall into a dilemma, do I make a movie of this game out of my love for it and to spreed it’s popularity, but in the process Sacrifice the experience that made it so special? If only there was a way to make a movie that adds to this game without spoiling it.

Thanks for the video! I love outer wilds so much. It's a testament to the deep wealth of information to be found in the game that information on the time the player experiences isn't presented until the last ten minutes of the video.

extremely well done video 10/10. fitting for a 10/10 game too. Its crazy how tiny this game seems at its surface, but under that surface is one of the deepest stories ive experienced in a game or even movie. you captured everything important and displayed it so beautifully.

This bo doubt is the best outer wild lore vid thank you for making this gem of a video

[@spacelaceboy]

one of the best videos on the internet!!! Such a shame that it has so little views. Made me tear up at the end.

while I understand most of the story from playing this incredible game, this video made me appriciate the whole scope of the of the happenings in the outer wilds universe even more. Huge props on capturing the vibe of the game in your video!

Hah I've been waiting for a video JUST like this one for years. Thanks so much!

just a correction, the "rosetta" stone in the museum is from Attlerock, not from Brittle Hollow, it talks about the eye locator in Attlerock. i know that in the dlc ending it shows it in a home in a pale blue planet but its more like a representation of what happened, cus it also shows the escape pod just disappearing after falling.
