Outer Wilds August: DLC Echoes of the Eye

Welcome back to Outer Wilds August. In this our 15th episode we thoroughly explore the nature of Echoes of the Eye and discuss how it works as a DLC (Amazing!) and that devolves into themes and storytimes. It like Echoes, is a wild ride!

Outer Wilds and its DLC Echoes of the Eye are available on Steam and other platforms. Developed by Mobius Digital and published by Annapurna Interactive.

*****SPOILER WARNING*****

Do not proceed if you do not want to be thoroughly spoiled for either Outer Wilds or Echoes of the Eye. This episode assumes familiarity with both, but does recount the story/setting of Echoes of the Eye. We strongly encourage you to play or watch someone else play, before proceeding. -You have been warned!-

Phew! With that out of the way, please do give our new episode a listen YouTube or Spotify. Ride the river on the Stranger, watch the slide shows in the village theatre, and roast some marshmallows over a green fire. Then probably if you are like us, go from awe to more and more horrified. The theme of how a self enclosed narrative of open world storytelling could possibly now enfold effectively a DLC winds itself through stories of our gameplay and relationships to horror.
