Developer’s Description

By Alex Beachum
Explore an alien world of campfire tunes and celestial wonders that evolve over time.
Outer Wilds is an exploration game about curiosity, roasting marshmallows, and unraveling the mysteries of the cosmos. Explore an alien world of campfire tunes and celestial wonders that evolve over time. Investigate tales of quantum phenomena and launch probes into the depths of space. The answers are there for those who seek them. Fasten your hiking boots, check your oxygen levels, and venture into the unknown.

NOTE: This is an earlier build than the one submitted to the Independent Games Festival. The project is currently under development, and major pieces of the world and narrative are still being implemented.

If possible, we strongly recommend playing Outer Wilds with an Xbox 360 gamepad. If that's not an option for you, check out the "Input" tab of the game launcher window to view/modify the mouse and keyboard mappings.

Eventually mouse and keyboard inputs will be supported by the in-game button prompts, but for now please excuse the clunkiness.
