I took a long, long break from Outer Wilds after completing the base game. I just needed time because the game hit me hard and unexpectedly.

Echoes Of The Eye hit me just as hard and still just as unexpected since I was just anticipating this to be mere expansion on the base game.

I might find myself terrified at the big things in life. All the questions on why I'm here, what's my purpose. Afraid of dying, afraid of what'll happen after. You know, the good shit to think about. I don't think I can ever escape the level of mental anguish those bring to me.

But I think I can take comfort in atleast being a little less scared of it and it's Outer Wilds that helped with that.
