Outer Wilds, an open-world action adventure video game

This is an adventure and exploration video game developed by Mobius Digital and released in 2019 for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Switch .

The story focuses on a young astronaut who is part of an alien civilization called the “Hearthians”.

The player begins his adventure on a small planet called Timber Hearth, where he embarks on a mission to explore the solar system.

However, he soon discovers that the universe is trapped in a 22-minute time cycle, at the end of which the system's sun explodes, destroying everything around it.

The premise of the game revolves around exploring the various planets and gathering information to unravel the mysteries of this time cycle and the ancient civilization that once inhabited the system.

A standout feature is its interconnected world design. Each planet has its own ecosystem, unique features and secrets to discover.

Players must use their wits and exploration skills to navigate varied environments, from deserts and forests to water worlds and caverns.

The game mechanics are based on curiosity and experimentation, allowing players to approach challenges in different ways.

The narrative is told in a non-linear fashion, meaning players can discover the story at their own pace.

As they explore, they find clues and snippets of information that help them understand the solar system's past and the reason behind the time cycle.

This immersive narrative, combined with the atmosphere of the game, creates an immersive experience that invites reflection on life, death and the meaning of time.

Visually, it features a charming and distinctive art style, with graphics that evoke a sense of wonder and exploration.

The soundtrack, composed by Andrew Prahlow, perfectly complements the experience, creating moments of tension and wonder as players discover new worlds and secrets.
