Edit: Solved, thanks!

So I am on Brittle Hollow and the two towers in the Hanging City are broken so I can't reach the Black Forge District.

I raised the Forge from the room on Meltwater (?) District and, from the Shrine District, I jumped and flew to a little bar where you can stand, ON the Forge itself. Then I did it again and again and I touched the gravity tiles on top of the ceiling. It was pretty difficult and parkour-y and didn't feel like something this game would do.

I wanted to know if that is an intended way to reach the 4th District or if I kinda cheated, in which case I will go back and try to find the correct way.

No spoilers please, if I did it wrong than just say that and DON'T tell me how to actually do it. Thanks!

I imagine I’m pretty far in the game so there are HEAVY SPOILERS in this post. I wanna start by saying I’m having a blast trying to figure out everything on my own so I’m not asking for advice (yet) I just want to have a discussion.

Am I alone on taking an extremely long time on trying to solve everything? I’ve gotten to where I am on my own and it seems like I’ve been everywhere like >!The 6th Location, the Lakebed Cave, Sun Station etc.!< I’ve also been to the >!Tower of Quantum Knowledge!< but feel like I cheated to get there. I only ask because I was curious and watched a some of a semi popular streamers no spoilers play through, and this guy just sped through everything barely reading any text and figured everything out so easily. He got to where I am in a fraction of the time. For example >!The Giants Deep Tower!< took me 2 in game days to solve, and he just >!dropped down each level like it was a speed run and knew where to take the pictures immediately.!<

I take my time and explore every nook and cranny of every place I can get to, so I’m around 55 hours in. My computer looks like it’s completely unlocked except 1 square that I’m trying to figure out how to get to now. I exhausted all dialogue, so i guess I’ve gotten all the clues I can and it’s up to me to figure out how to piece them together. I’m playing on Switch so I know it’s much easier to not be able to see something, but I’m still determined to push through.

Here are my thoughts at the moment:

HEAVY SPOILERS

>!I think I’m going to have to either find a large warp core or get the broken one in the vessel fixed. I tried one that I charged from The High Energy Lab, but it doesn’t fit. I couldn’t find anything in the Black hole Forge either. The Sun Station blows up when I go there so maybe that can be the catalyst for something? I couldn’t find any projection stones to put into the Tower of Quantum Knowledge as well, so if I can figure out how to get there before it gets sucked into space it will be easier to get around in there.!<

e: The game I was looking for is The Message from Deep Space. Thank you to everyone who replied!

Hi folks, lately I've seen a game recommended in several places and now that I'm trying to follow through and check it out I can't find it. It involves interpreting signals received - I think from outer space - and I think a piece is that there is no definitive translation so you might end up with a different interpretation than another player.

I thought the name was something like "A Signal from Beyond the Stars" or "The Signal from Outer Space" but unless I'm overlooking results I'm not finding a game by those names. Anyone know what I'm looking for? Thanks! ::)

This might be an overdone poll but I'm not that far in yet and I am LOVING brittle hollow. The black hole at the center, the look of it, the city is gorgeous. It's the third planet I've visited and I'm having such a good time I just walked (and fell) off the purple crystal path but so pretty

Finally!! After countless times of starting over and the game staying in my backlog for years I reached the end! What a beautiful game. What a unique experience.

The only reason I kept going was seeing people on here talk about how great this game is over and over again. And how right they are. This is definitely one of my favourite games of all time. You really notice how much love and attention to detail was put into every part of it. So many memorable riddles and moments, the only thing I wish is to be able to erase my memory and experience it all over again!

And I just realized theres a DLC!

Bonjour , j’ai acheté le jeu outer wilds archeologist edition a micromania (cd ps5 ) il y a 3 ans et je viens de m’apercevoir que je n’ai pas le dlc qui est censé être inclus j’ai vu qu’il pouvait y avoir un code dans la boîte mais à l’intérieur il n’y a que le ticket de micromania et le cd y a t il une solution pour avoir le dlc sans payer ?

hello, i’ve watched AboutOlivers legendary playthrough all the way (completely unedited), and ive watched a the supercuts of the popular ones. i’m now looking for something in between: not completely unedited totaling to 40 hours, but not condensed all the way down into just 2 or 4. does anyone have any good recommendations? thanks!

Noticed recently that the three generations use different methods of communication with the player. Owlks use slide shows/sight, Nomai use text/reading and Hearthians use audio recordings/hearing.

I thought that it was really interesting, I don't know if it was intentional or not but that level of attention to detail makes me love the game even more.

Maybe it's just logical that because we cannot translate Owlks text but we can with Nomai text and that we can understand our own race, that we have to use those mechanics.
