Outer Wilds Wiki



Main Description
Outer Wilds is a first-person exploration game developed by Mobius Digital Games and a game of the year in 2019. It was released on May 30, 2019 for XBOX One, Microsoft Windows, and OS X. The game revolves around an astronaut living in a solar system comprised of several astral bodies in orbit round a dying sun. Every 22 minutes, the sun goes supernova, destroying the entire solar system (and the astronaut in the process). The player wakes up at the starting point, retaining all memories, but is seemingly the only one who does so (except Gabbro.) Exploring the various planets and satellites will reveal new information about the cyclical disaster and perhaps a way to prevent it.

Story
The player begins as one of a race of explorers on a planet called Timber Hearth. Floating above you in continual orbit are planets, moons, space stations, and anomalies waiting to be explored. It is "launch day," as many of the locals will enthusiastically inform you. Today will be your first launch into space as a new explorer. Before you can take off, however, you will need the launch codes for your ship, which you must obtain from the Observatory.

Though nebulous and not set in stone, three primary goals guide your mission. One: learn more about the Nomai, a mysterious race of ancient but technologically advanced explorers not related to your own kind. Two: find out what happened to your fellow astronauts who are posted or stranded (as the case may be) on the orbiting planets. Three: uncover the devastating truth about the repeating supernova that you and everyone you know have the misfortune of being caught in every 22 minutes and ultimately, to discover and be the first to land on the Eye of the Universe.
