(chin in hands) Did you like outer wilds?
For 98% of the game I was like “ooh what a lovely puzzle, they really make the stylistically simplified stellar system work, how tidy, and the cartoonish characters are fun, they add flavor”
and then at the ending I cried hard enough that my shirt was soaked.
SO YES. I LOVED IT.
#like i was enjoying it the whole time! but *emotionally* i was at a remove because it felt Like A Game#my primary emotions were admiration of a well-crafted puzzle#and ‘what the fuck that’s not how jellyfish work — whatever move on they sufficiently telegraphed it in gameplay’#and ‘what happens if i press this button’#and ‘MOTHER *FUCKER* I SLIPPED’#and then. in the ending. i guess it felt enough like moving into a different space#that i was fully primed for lacrimal dehydration#so.#Outer Wilds#big-meows#Schnikeys answers
