Outer Wilds

Outer Wilds is a first-person action-adventure game based on the idea of ​​a time loop. The action takes place on the fictional planet Kamelok, which is destroyed by a star explosion twenty-two minutes after it began. Conversations with other travelers provide clues: everyone has their own story, and some of them are related to the mystery of the system. The map in the helmet is updated as finds are found. The player is stuck in a loop and can now explore the system as much as he wants, because the knowledge remains with him after each reboot. Progress here is measured not by improvements, but by your own understanding of what is happening. The planets are arranged in a cunning way: on one, sand covers buildings, on another, water rises along with the moon, and the third disappears into a black hole piece by piece. Because of this, rushing is sometimes more important than considering everything. The ship allows you to fly between planets, each of which has its own dangers: oceans, sandstorms, black holes and strange mechanisms of an ancient civilization. The solution is revealed through notes and observations. The add-on adds a separate area and its own secret, to which rumors and clues lead. You can play in any order, and the ending depends on how deeply you understand the story. The plot is related to a disappeared culture that left traces throughout the system, and the music and silence create a special mood. The addition added a separate secret to which the clues lead. The assessments of critics and players coincided: the project is appreciated for its courage and reluctance to explain the obvious. For those who love riddles and space without clues, this loop becomes a revelation.
