I’ve been spacefaring within the game in the meantime, discovering sights both awe-inspiring and bizarre, as well as meeting my demise. Uh, quite frequently, truth be told.<\/p>\n The Outer Wilds revels in its dark humor, often giving you more than enough tools for you to dig your own grave. Instead of being a source of frustration, it left me laughing at the memorable and grisly results of my own stupidity.<\/p>\n Come with me, reader, on a journey through the mangled, suffocated corpses of myself that I’ve left through time and space and in the belly of massive fishes.<\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> I forgot to put on my spacesuit before I left the ship for the cold embrace of space. I promptly asphyxiated like a champ. Go me.<\/p>\n 2.<\/strong> I flew into the sun by accident. It hurt.<\/p>\n 3. <\/strong>I carefully navigated a series of asteroids only to find myself staring down the face of a literal angler fish the size of the moon. Reader, he ate me.<\/p>\n 4.<\/strong> I was spelunking into the heart of a planet filled with many caverns. I miscalculated a jump and promptly fell to the bottom. The crack of my helmet and skull announced my doom.<\/p>\n 5.<\/strong> I set my autopilot to lead me to a planet. It collided with another planet on the way there and bounced off, severely damaging my spaceship. I got out to fix my spaceship without turning off the autopilot only to watch my ship continue to zoom away, leaving me adrift in space. Crap.<\/p>\n 6.<\/strong> I went in for a rough landing on a small moon. I got out before we came to a full stop but my spaceship kept going.
