I’d like to ask the good people of this community that, if you do know the solution or figure it out, that you not share the answer here. Feel free to announce your success, but there’s something to be said for discovering the answer completely unaided, even if it takes years.
It’s embarrassingly obvious once you see it though.
Outer Wilds.
I think The Outer Worlds was just an RPG.
Wilds is a mystery game of aha moments.
