Watch Out for Fireballs! 489: Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye
Update: 2025-09-11
Description
Outer Wilds is a cozy adventure game about the thrill of exploration and the triumph of curiosity. You walk in the footsteps of a long-gone civilization to find your way out of a deadly time loop, ultimately triumphing and being reborn. The game's expansion, Echoes of the Eye, takes a bit of a darker tone. You explore an artificial world haunted by precursors who aren't quite as gone as you've been led to believe.
There are some real design missteps here, and we talk about them, but also talk about what makes Outer Wilds in general work for us in spite of them.
