Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye - Complete OST

That moment when you're watching the projection reels, and then the theme in the background shifts accordingly to what you're currently seeing, no matter how much you wait in between images, elevates the storytelling in this DLC to a whole new level.

The way this game’s music integrates with the gameplay is a masterclass. Highlights for me: Sitting by the deep space satellite, wondering if I understand things right, when bam, an eclipse of the sun Jumping onto a raft, learning to control it as you hear the track fade in, and then looking up right as the music swells Clicking through the reels with every motif timed perfectly Descending into a forbidden archive while your heart is still pumping and you don’t know if you should feel victorious or terrified And finally………. When it’s your turn to tell your story

Honestly every time I hear echoes of the eye I burst into tears, just seeing the entire story of our character actually being told is just so beautiful :;)

The music that plays when going down the river gives a vibe I can't explain

Getting to [REDACTED] for the first time is such a jaw dropping experience that I don't think any game will ever be able to top for me, and its song brings back the memories!

WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE [strange celestial body] WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣 🔥🔥

I think Into Shadow is my favorite part. It captures the whole experience. It's like you stumble into evidence of another thriving civilization. The scope of your discovery is immense. Whoever made it must have been highly intelligent, with ornate culture and family. They liked to watch movies together, remember their lives together. But something is very wrong. They are vanished like a ghost ship. All that's left is a old signs of life. So it's just you on this vast world that wasn't made for you. The ship has everything to support you and your biology. It's a lot like Timber Hearth. It's just missing the most important part. It implies something terrible. In the end you find it wasn't a rogue wave or pirates. They just decided to go to sleep and dream forever. They lost their own world and they didn't want to give up the familiar bits they had left. They died a sad old civilization that couldn't let go. That's not Hearthians though. You were young when the universe ended. You knew it was the only thing left to do. You let go and jumped it to whatever's next.

Hearing The Premonition swell up when you see the owlkins face of horror after realising what would happen if they went to the eye of the universe is a moment ill never forget

Someone please wipe my memory clean so I can play this again, pleaseeeeee 😢 😭

I always thought it was so abrupt, how Travellers Encore ended. At first I thought it was a goof somebody had while editting the mp3 (which I've seen on even officially sourced music before), so I was bewildered when I realized it was intentional. Until one time I was listening to it and just so happened to have it on repeat, without fade or anything. It was a perfect loop. It was as if Riebeck had never even set down his banjo. And then it hit me. It was a loop, just like the game, that can only come to an abrupt end. Whether it's ended early by your hand, or allowed to run its natural course without repeat on. It's a beautiful metaphor for this game and only solidified my love for this game and its music.

31:41 ...CHILLS

I cant help but hear the Prisoner's theme to be like a literal crying ghost, but as the theme at the end, the tune become high pitched.

Most of us that played this are young, probably under 30 years, so, one day, when we are old enough and have forgotten almost everything about this game, we will experience it again, but not as nicely as the first time 😮‍💨

It's insane how well this follows from the first OST. The new themes, motifs, instrumentation still keep that old feeling alive.

This game is awesome, I wish I could play it all over again. Going to the (burnt text) was pretty cool. And meeting the (burnt text) was a cool experience.

GIGASPOILERS, don't scroll down unless you've already played the DLC ! Even if there's nothing but a small chance that you may play it eventually, don't risk ruining it, I assure you it's worth it. I was a bit dubious at first, when hearing about the DLC. Outer Wilds was such an incredible, self-contained game, that I couldn't see how you could integrate more content into it, but it blew all my expectations out of the park. To me, the summary of how magic and organic the storytelling is, is everything leading up to the first time I met a... what I like to call a carhibou (it's a portemanteau in french between cariboo and owl). First, you discover bits and pieces of their civilizations in the ringworld, with the same wonder with which you discovered the Nomai civilization. Then, you get to the Endless canyon, and it is such a breathtaking atmosphere. The ominous silence, the darkness but for the torch and at the same time, a feeling of warmth and cosiness, mixed with the melancholia of it being abandoned. Then, after a few minutes of exploring and taking in the atmosphere, while searching for a way to activate the bridge in the lodge, you see it. The shadow of a moving, living carhibou, being cast onto the wall, in a room you can see but not access. It was... everything. The absolute marvel of discovering a living member of what you thought was a long extinct race, the despair at not being able to make contact, the sadness and empathy for that lonely being, completely alone in a big dark empty house, with all of it's companions and friends presumably dead and also, fear, because you don't know what this creature with which you have nothing in common would react to meeting a trespasser. Then, more exploration ensues. you do some rafting, discover more reels, and, gradually, you come to realize that these carhiboux are not the ever-curious, gentle and lovable nomais. And you also realize that, should you have the chance, you're not sure want to meet one if you had the chance. But eventually, you find the way to discovering a part of the endless canyon you previously did not have access to. Excitedly, you go turn off the lights to activate that door, and... That sound. A bone chilling scream echoing through the now completely dark canyon. No more little background music, it is all, completely silent. You realize that, in order to access that previously unreachable place, you'll have to go back through the area with the isolated carhibou. And now you REALLY don't want to go back there. But you have to. So you do... Still complete silence and darkness. You step down the small stairs leading to the courtyard. Then... a light. Then a figure, with glowing eyes. Then, a terrifying scream. Then you get grabbed and... Woosh. Everything leading up to that. Magnificent.

This is such a jam. I am so glad I got to play this.

A dream of home always makes me cry

Sometimes I just come here to let the Prisoner's strings cut into my heart for a bit.

I listened to this ost multiple times and thought to myself "yeah this is so much darker than the main games ost". But then i listened to lost reels. Truly terrifying pieces that put the anxiety of that ost to a shame. Andrew Prahlow is an ever improving genius
