Every once in a while I will discover the Outer Wilds soundtrack. It is so fucking good and (most of) it makes you feel so warm and good. It makes me reminisce, feel calm, and just generally really chill.
It is 02:30 and even though I have class tomorrow morning, I’m just listening to this masterpiece.
No clue who heard “science fiction space exploration” and thought “Banjo, bongos, whistling, piano, and woodwind” (actually I do, cheers to Andrew Prahlow) but it is such a vibe.
ive finally organized my whole big list of behind the scenes outer wilds stuff put together so here it is all in one post, keep in mind im always adding onto it so feel free to add stuff you’ve found that isnt here!
I don’t think outer wilds could happen again. It was a one-in-a-million union of talented mystery and character writers, auteurs with an impeccable eye for landscape and character design, nerds shit obsessed with astrophysics, people with a beautiful philosophy about the universe, and of course, Andrew prahlow
We should think ourselves extremely lucky this happened. I don’t think I’ll get another in my lifetime
I’m still recovering from the deep and unexpected pain in my heart after beating Outer Wilds, a game about the joy of discovery and the courage to let beautiful things come to an end and ALSO A GAME THAT IS FUNDAMENTALLY UNREPLAYABLE 😭
did not expect to be moved to tears repeatedly by what is basically an EP of themes & variations on the outer wilds soundtrack, but i guess that’s just the power of fucking andrew prahlow
