YARROW: In total, each cycle created by the Ash Twin Project will last precisely 22 minutes. We can end this cycle at will.

Isn’t it amazing? Hard to believe the settlement is still standing, but there it is.

And another thing - we died, but we aren’t dead? That’s pretty unusual for Hearthians.

Does kind of prove we're the same person, though.

Just, y’know, ricochet off the walls. Spin around a lot. That kind of thing.

But since you’re asking, I gotta assume you haven’t made it down there yourself yet, right? If I tell you how, it kinda feels like cheating.

I can’t wait to play with the whole group again. Can I start?

Hypothesis: Everyone must be here before we can begin.

SECCA: To be so close to the location of the Vessel and still so far is... difficult. Worse, the Vessel’s beacon is dying; soon, we will be unable to hear it.

You’ve seen the cyclones? Yeah, they’re hard to miss. They’ll toss up everything in their path, islands included. Little tip — if you get picked up, try to land in water. Less likely to kill you.

PYE: Yes, but the exploration of the comet would be more difficult if we were without the shuttle until someone recalled it. Perhaps we shouldn’t have landed on the dark side of the comet...

CLARY: To our friends on Brittle Hollow: I just warped here from the White Hole Station (on the other side of Brittle Hollow’s black hole)! Our design worked; we’ve successfully recreated warp travel!

ESCALL: We likely don’t have enough air to reach the farther of the two beacons, Din. The decision is made for us.

Some of these shards collided with the celestial bodies in our solar system, such as the Attlerock, which I believe is how its biggest crater was formed.

As for land masses, I’ve counted four islands, including this one. There’s also the one with that Nomai statue I saw on the beach.

Two of the Nomai located a fissure in the ice on the Interloper’s sunward side. They descended inside to investigate.

I pull a few stunts, try to shake the thing off — nothing too fancy. I’m going full-speed when the fish clips me, knocks me into a vine, and...

It’s, um, it’s not quite time yet.

PLUME: In her note from earlier, Filix mentions this strange type of rock isn’t found elsewhere on Brittle Hollow. What if it isn’t originally from this planet?

Come to think of it, though, “broke” might be the wrong word. Because it looks like the Orbital Probe Cannon is still firing successfully at the beginning of each time loop.

What you see here are parts of the Nomai skeleton. We can tell from their skulls that they possessed antlers and, quite unusually, only three eyes.

COLEUS: They remind me of a subterranean species that my mentor, Melorae, once told me about (from when our clan used to travel across this universe). I imagine she would have enjoyed these lifeforms greatly.

000

Outer Wilds Bot 🚀☀️ @outerwildsbot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Wait, then it’s just our memories being sent back in time to us, right? Then... are we really experiencing multiple time loops, or not?

000

Outer Wilds Bot 🚀☀️ @outerwildsbot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

ANNONA: Where was young Coleus lost, Melorae?

The Nomai built something called the Sun Station, but not everyone supported its construction.

010

Outer Wilds Bot 🚀☀️ @outerwildsbot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Good! You’ve only been waiting for this day since we were hatchlings. I can’t wait to see all your training pay off!

000

Outer Wilds Bot 🚀☀️ @outerwildsbot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I’ll be watching from a safe distance, obviously, and mostly to make sure nothing catches fire. But watching nonetheless.

Riebeck discovered an old Nomai path near their campsite on the equator. The path starts inside the ruined building with trees growing out of it.

An alien race lived in this solar system long before our species even existed! How could I not want to see what their civilization was like?

000

Outer Wilds Bot 🚀☀️ @outerwildsbot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

...On a completely unrelated note, that sure was a big, hollow vine my ship crashed into. Yep.

000

Outer Wilds Bot 🚀☀️ @outerwildsbot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Oh, sure! I made all of their instruments, you know. Let me see... There’s Chert’s drums, Riebeck’s banjo, and Gabbro’s flute.

FILIX: We... we are abandoning our Vessel. Any Nomai clans or spaceflight-capable species receiving this message, I implore you, we need your help!

000

Outer Wilds Bot 🚀☀️ @outerwildsbot.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Did the Eye deliberately call out to us by sending the signal, or did we hear the signal by coincidence?

POKE: Does your romantic interest think a warp tower’s alignment point is its receiver? Does he not know that a warp tower always aligns with the center of its corresponding astral body?

ILEX: Remember to feed the fossil fish first! If you go to the Anglerfish Overlook and throw a light into his mouth, he’ll show you the way.

I’d posit the Attlerock was hit with a piece of the planet that used to be where Dark Bramble now lies.

Between you and me, I glossed over some of the finer details. Astrophysics is really more Hornfels’s domain.

The Nomai debated building a Sun Station in order to power the Ash Twin Project. Several Nomai opposed its construction, arguing that failure could result in the destruction of the solar system.

It’s not exactly impossible for the autopilot to get you too close to the sun, but it’s not like it’ll try to take you there on purpose.

000

Outer Wilds Bot 🚀☀️ @outerwildsbot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Let’s see... Chert is on the Hourglass Twins, Riebeck is on Brittle Hollow, and Gabbro is on Giant’s Deep, last I checked.

000

Outer Wilds Bot 🚀☀️ @outerwildsbot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

RAMIE: I hadn’t thought of that! What a profoundly horrific fate that would be.

Day 48: Still not picking up Riebeck’s banjo from Brittle Hollow. I’m sure they’re fine, but I’ll feel better once I can hear their music.

000

Outer Wilds Bot 🚀☀️ @outerwildsbot.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Inside the seed? Huh. Dunno what to tell you there - the only harmonica player I know is Feldspar, and they disappeared ages ago.
