Outer Wilds is an open world exploration action-adventure indie video game. In the game, the player-character finds themselves on a planet with only 22 minutes before the local sun goes supernova and kills them; the player continually repeats this 22-minute cycle by learning details that can help alter the outcome on later playthroughs. The game won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize and Excellence in Design at the 2015 Independent Games Festival Awards. It was originally developed by Team Outer Wilds, but is now being developed by actor Masi Oka's studio Mobius Digital with the members of Team Outer Wilds being hired into the studio. It was released in May 2019 for Microsoft Windows and Xbox One, and in October 2019 for PlayStation 4.

Gameplay

In Outer Wilds, the player-character is an astronaut that starts out camping on a planet near their rocket. Within 22 minutes of game time, the local sun will go supernova, ending the game, though the game will restart at the same point. Thus, the player is encouraged to explore the local solar system (referred to somewhat inaccurately as a "quirky and condensed galaxy") to learn how the astronaut got there, why the sun will go nova, the secrets of the Nomai, the alien race that had built this galaxy, and other information and secrets that can be used on the subsequent replays of the game to explore further. For example, in order to use the rocket, the player must guide the astronaut to a local observatory, where the launch codes are located. Once the player has done this once in one playthrough, that information will not change in subsequent ones, so on the next playthrough, the player can bypass the observatory and immediately launch the rocket with the known codes. Though the galaxy repeats the same 22 minutes each time the player starts the game, the galaxy will change over the course of that period, making some parts of planets accessible only at certain times; one example is a pair of planets orbiting so close to each other that sand from one planet is funnelled over to cover the other planet, making its surface inaccessible later in the 22 minute period.

The player-character has health and oxygen meters, which are replenished when the character returns to the rocket. If the character's health or oxygen should run out, they will die, but respawn back on the home planet.

Plot

The Player takes the role of an alien space explorer preparing for their first solo flight. After touching a Nomai statue, the Player discovers they are trapped in a 22 minute time loop, with every loop resetting on the Player's death or the local sun exploding in a supernova. In order to solve this mystery, the Player begins exploring the solar system, uncovering artifacts and ruins left behind by the Nomai, an ancient and mysterious race that had once colonized the system.

The Player eventually learns that the Nomai were obsessed with finding the "Eye of the Universe", the supposed center of the universe which is a massive quantum anomaly that supposedly has the power to stop the heat death of the universe. To this end, the Nomai built an orbital cannon to launch probes into the outer edges of the star system to find the Eye. In addition, they developed the Ash Twin Project, which leveraged their mastery of quantum physics to send information 22 minutes into the past via statues like the one the Player touched so they could more accurately predict the location of the Eye. However, the Nomai themselves were never able to achieve the full potential of the Ash Twin Project since sending information into the past would require a vast amount of energy that only a supernova could produce and they died out before they could figure out a way to artificially induce one. This explains why the Player is trapped in the 22 minute loop, since the supernova activates the Ash Twin Project, sending all of the information the Player learned back to their past self.

Armed with this knowledge, the Player is able to discover the coordinates of the Eye and repairs a derelict Nomai vessel, warping to the Eye's location. Upon entering the Eye, the Player encounters quantum versions of the various characters they had befriended in their travels, and working together, they create a Big Bang, giving rise to a new universe. The full completion ending adds a scene showing that intelligent life begins to develop 14.3 billion years after the creation of the new universe.
