oh

the game just lets you die and rolls the credits and makes you start over before you ever even see a rocket

*wakes up at the campfire* oh it's one of THESE games

i fell into the wormhole on the hollow planet three times and then suffocated in space. never found the banjo guy

i shot a scout into the seed and followed it into the spatial anomaly but never found the harmonica, and i found the orbital probe cannon that seems really important but i'm not sure yet what to do with it. nice to know where you use projection stones though

do i dare go back to the scary spatial anomaly i found and explore more now that it's not dark outside?

perhaps

wait holy fuck

you wake up looking at giant's deep

that's what that is

the fuckin

orbital friendship cannon

i wish i could reset the loop without having to suffocate myself or something

like i CAN but i have to quit to the main menu and then it takes a full calendar year to load again

i caught up with the probe but unless i'm supposed to ram it off course i don't see anything i can do

🤔 . o O (oh my god am i supposed to ram it off course)

well my ship is unhappy about that, and due to the nature of Being In Space i'm unsure if i significantly affected its trajectory or if it was just me who got knocked backwards

oh there we go now i can skip loops

yeah that's not ominous

there's something really fucky about time here, beyond the obvious

how can the naomi have been dead so long they've left bone dry skeletons, when the very same falling sand that was a hazard to them is still a hazard to me now, still rapidly filling up the caves

the orbital probe cannon broke because it was fired with too high power, but you watch it break every loop

something is up

wait wasn't there a translated message like "we'll have to recalibrate the equipment, if those readings were right it would violate causality" -> "so it turns out the equipment is calibrated correctly"

something IS up

that seems okay
