Always a delight to hear you talk about music in games that I also love, and Outer Wilds might be my favourite of them all!!

(SPOILERS!!)

Your insight into Andrew’s approach to the music for the Nomai revolving around looping technology had me sentimental for this masterpiece all over again. 💜

What if I told you there’s an entire concept album of video game covers out there based around Outer Wilds’ “Travelers” melody as the central leitmotif?

Give it a listen and try to count how many Outer Wilds references you catch!

You clearly had a ton of fun with the editing on this one. The Quantum Moon constantly changing location on the diorama, opening AND closing the video with the eyelid effect, only touching on the iconic end-of-loop theme at the literal end of the video, SO many fun details and creative choices!

Makes the whole process worth it to hear you and others having as much fun noticing those little details as I have building them 😄
