How I learned to love Outer Wilds’ time loop That radio station, a few photographs, and a number will get you where you’re going. There’s a new note in the museum on the planet where Outer Wilds begins. Here’s the closest I’ll come to spoiling Echoes of the Eye, though really I’m just providing a map to reaching it. When I say “find the game,” I mean that literally. The only reason Echoes of the Eye isn’t a true sequel, as far as I can tell, is because you can’t experience its many wonders without finding the game within the original’s universe.

And the game can be played without uncovering a single secret in the original Outer Wilds. The creators tell a new story, arguably darker and more mysterious than the first. It’s nearly as long as its predecessor, plopping the player in a similarly massive and disorienting setting. But by practically every measure, Echoes of the Eye is a sequel. Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye has been marketed as a downloadable expansion to the original game, Polygon’s 2019 Game of the Year.
