Episode 27 - Outer Wilds: A Stunning and Impactful Pilgrimage Through Space

Deep Fried Gaming

Episode 27 brings us to the Gloaming Galaxy. A small, fascinating galaxy inhabited by a race known as the Hearthians. The game is set up quickly and within minutes, you find yourself in a pair of Hearthian boots, suited up, and strapped into a rickety space shuttle careening through the ominous depths of space with the wonders of the galaxy before you.

The elevator pitch does not do justice to what this game truly sets before the player. Contained here is a very dense story, a lot to learn and a world of wonder and terror to be discovered. Who are the Hearthians? Where did they come from? Who built all the ancient, crumbling architecture strewn about on the various planets that orbit the sun?

This is a dense game and to do it justice we dive into the story and break down exactly how it all plays out in the second half of the episode. If you are curious how all the pieces of Outer Wilds fit together, be sure to stick around to that portion of the episode to hear the fruits of hours of research. Please Enjoy episode 27 of the Deep Fried Gaming Podcast.
