An interactive review of Outer Wilds
About
Created for Reviewjam 2023, this is my love letter to the dizzying narrative design of Outer Wilds.
As well as talking about some of the mechanics that make this game so special, I thought I'd impose some of those mechanics on you, the reader, to hopefully help illustrate some of the points I'm making. Can you finish reading a review when it self destructs every 2.2 minutes? Now's your chance to find out.
Some of the assets and functionality I already had from a previous Outer-Wilds-inspired project. But this creation, built in Twine, is otherwise entirely new, and was created in a few hours. Frankly, if the review makes any sense at all, it's a miracle.
Good luck!
