Though the solar system is small enough that you could conceivably touch down on every planet in a single 22-minute run, you are smaller and insignificant by comparison. You can also listen to The Lost Reels on your preferred music streaming service courtesy of Andrew Prahlow. The Outer Worlds and Outer Wilds are often confused with one another, but now thanks to a simple logo flip, there is a new level of befuddlement. That lack of understanding makes every run, from blasting off for the first time to exploring a previously hidden place, both exciting and a bit terrifying. Outer Wilds is currently available on Xbox, Steam, and PlayStation. (He also takes us through a few tracks from The Lost Reels with some exclusive commentaries.) You can find Andrew Prahlow at his official website here. What's more, he followed up the expansion's soundtrack with "The Lost Reels," which add six extended musical suites that help express some of the complex, post-rock ideas explored in the score - from the orchestral expansiveness of "Older Than the Universe" to the playful string-quartet drive of "The Spirit of Water." On today's podcast, I sat down with Prahlow to discuss the big, heady ideas Outer Wilds expresses in both game and music form, his own response to the score's breakaway success, and how it feels to be in consideration for the GRAMMY's first award for video game music composition. The success of both game and soundtrack led Prahlow back to Outer Wilds for its expansion, Echoes of the Eye, giving him a chance to go back to the camping-out-in-space feel of the original while exploring new, alien territory to match the new ring world your character encounters in the DLC. And through its elegant, cozy presentation and the banjo-forward music of BAFTA-nominated composer Andrew Prahlow, it also explored ideas of our own significance in the grand scheme of the universe. The interior is complete with the computer log system, reactor core, antigravity crystal, and shelves for gear. Each of the side pods can be removed to gain access to the interior. The Hearthean has their backpack/jetpack for setting off in exploration of the solar system. The game is a sprawling yet intimate time-loop adventure in which you play an archaeologist/astronaut in a distant system, solving the mystery of why your sun keeps exploding twenty-some minutes after you wake up. I believe this design captures the spirit of the game. It does not have an announced release date or platform at this time.When Outer Wilds was released in 2019, it felt like a casual revolution of not just adventure games as a genre but video game music as a whole. McKellan said that though the game is still early in development, they planned to share more info sometime in 2023. He mentioned the focus of their own titles, Stories Untold and Observation, on “deep psychological horror,” traits they want to use in weaving the narrative of Silent Hill: Townfall.

A shot of a portable television shows off various disturbing images and brief glimpses of some kind of monster, before resolving onto a blood-red wave crashing onto a beach.Ī video message from No Code Creative Director John McKellan recounted memories of playing the original Silent Hill, and noted how much of an influence the series has been on the developers at No Code and Annapurna. It begins with a monologue by a man talking to someone, saying the person he’s talking to is “here to be punished”. The Silent Hill: Townfall teaser doesn’t show off gameplay footage, but does establish a mood.
