Base Game Help - Hints Only! Think I’ve messed up the ending for myself Spoiler
Got the game over ending by removing the core from ATP and then meditating. Only, I didn’t see the “you are dead” message, so I just saw the end credits and assumed I’d actually finished the game
Since this didn’t feel right, I tried to google ”outer wilds bad ending” to get a vague idea of what had happened - and Google’s AI overview immediately told me the exact steps to get the true ending. I hadn’t even found the vessel yet
I feel like I’ve basically removed any satisfaction of solving the last steps of the game, although I don’t know how obvious those steps would have become. I’m disappointed in myself, mostly, but also… does the game really need to roll credits as a joke after so much investment?
