If you enjoyed this, and you enjoy video games, you really should try Outer Wilds. It's in the same emotional spirit, and an absolutely fantastic game. Go in completely blind, don't read anything or watch any videos, since this is a game about gaining knowledge and can only be played once.
- sl-1 3y agoI agree, it is probably the best narrative experience I have had with a video game. And easily ruined by spoilers.

- mock-possum 3y agoThere just aren’t any other games like it. At first you’re like, oh, okay, this is kind of fun but I don’t see what’s so- and then OH you really just need to make it though the first thirty minutes, maybe an hour or so, before you crack the game open and realize what it is you’re playing - and then it only gets better from there.
- Marthinwurer 3y agoOuter Wilds is by far the best game I've ever played. It's wonderfully melancholy in so many ways, especially in how you can only really play it once. If you're the kind of person who reads HN, you're the kind of person who'd enjoy playing it. If you can't bring yourself to play videogames, or if you've already played through it and want to relive the game vicariously through others, then you might enjoy watching a let's play of it. I highly recommend LilIndigestion's playthrough. But, if you have the ability to play it, go in without any knowledge or spoilers, and experience the joy of discovery.
