Outer Wilds
A tiny solar system, a twenty-two-minute time loop and a mystery that only your curiosity can solve.
The journey
You are an astronaut in a hand-made solar system that ends every twenty-two minutes. Each loop, you fly to a planet, learn something new and start again. The only thing you keep is knowledge.
Who should go
Curious players who love to explore with no instructions. Best played knowing as little as possible.
Avoid spoilers
Everything in Outer Wilds is about discovery. Do not look up guides or videos. If you must, use our no-spoiler tips below.
Use the ship log
The ship log records every clue you have found and connects them. When you do not know where to go, open it and follow a question mark.
It is fine to feel lost
Players often spend the first hours wandering. That is part of it: every planet has a story that makes sense once you see more.
