Curious to find out what was held within the Eye, but having lost its signal, the Nomai built an orbital cannon to launch probes to visually find the Eye. The player learns that the Nomai were obsessed with finding the "Eye of the Universe", a massive anomaly using macroscopic quantum mechanics that is older than the universe itself. Every loop resets when the sun goes supernova after 22 minutes, or when the player-character otherwise dies. After being involuntarily paired with a statue on their home planet made by the Nomai, an ancient and mysterious race that had once colonized the system, the player discovers they are trapped in a time loop. The player takes the role of an unnamed space explorer preparing for their first solo flight. drowning, falling, exposure to space vacuum - the player respawns and awakens back on their home planet at the start of the time loop. There are no equipment upgrades during the game.Īfter each death, whether the cause is the sun going supernova, or through misadventure - e.g. The player has several tools, including a camera probe which can be launched long distances and a signalscope for locating broadcast signals. The player character has health, fuel, and oxygen meters, which are replenished when the character returns to the ship or by finding trees or refills. This process gradually reveals the secrets buried on Ash Twin while simultaneously making the Ember Twin cave system inaccessible later on in the time loop.
One example is the paired Ash Twin and Ember Twin planets orbiting so close to each other that sand from Ash Twin is funneled over to cover Ember Twin during the loop.
Some events and locations change during the course of the time loop, which means that areas and puzzles are often only accessible at certain times. All areas of the game are technically immediately accessible to the player upon acquiring the ship launch codes, however many areas are protected by logic puzzles which can often only be solved through learning more of the Nomai and speaking to fellow space explorers. The central premise of the game is exploration, with the player compelled to uncover the remains of the Nomai civilization to find the cause of the time loop and complete the game. These codes, and the knowledge of them, are the same across subsequent loops, allowing the player to immediately launch the ship without first visiting the observatory. For example, in order to use the ship, the player must get the launch codes from colleagues at the local observatory. In the first part of the game, the player links with an ancient Nomai statue which ensures that the player retains information discovered in each time loop when it restarts.
Thus, the player is encouraged to learn why by exploring and uncovering secrets of an extinct race known as the Nomai, who previously colonized the solar system hundreds of thousands of years ago. It's much smaller than the one in the release version and seems to only consist of a single platform with a spiral-like structure underneath.Outer Wilds features an unnamed player character exploring a solar system that is stuck in a time loop, going back 22 minutes before its star goes supernova. Of course it's possible to enter any such bubble at high speed for getting a short glimpse of the planet.Ī Sun Station was added which was not present in the previous alpha version. There's no known way of bypassing the bubbles - using the probe is not an option either as it's strongly repelled.

Entering any bubble and not leaving it again within 5 seconds makes the sun explode instantly, killing the player within a few seconds.īesides that, these planets appear to be unchanged compared to the previous full alpha. The previously available alpha was replaced with a cut-down alpha demo at the start of the Fig campaign that successfully funded development of the full version.ĭark Bramble, Giant's Deep, the Hourglass Twins and the Quantum Moon were blocked off by huge bubbles covered with a warning message "Danger - spoilers ahead". There were multiple different alpha versions, 1.2 being the last uncut alpha version.
