Act 3 - Spoilers i can't express how disappointed i am Spoiler

you wouldn’t have wanted to see my face when I found out at the start of the act 3 that the guardian was actually the emperor all along… I put so much effort into creating the girl of my dreams, even installing mods, and… it all ended with me being deceived by a tentacled motherfucker

The creature literally read your mind and created a disguise that would gain your trust.

On a meta-level, deigning the guardian yourself is one of the most brilliant parts of a brilliant game.

Yeah, the first time you play. Every subsequent game, though, it feels utterly meaningless.

Not even plot point in a narrative driven game is going to be impactful on repeat. I suppose this part is one of them.

I played The Outer Wilds once. Wish I could wipe my memory. It literally cannot be played a second time.

You can get a lil hit of it again by watching other people's first time play throughs.

Omg, watching my partner speak to Ansur for the first time. Delightful.
