BeccaBytes' Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye Byte-Sized Supercut 

One Eye sent the signal, two eyes hide it, three eyes look for it, four eyes watch it's conclusion

There is something cathartic about seeing someone cry in overwhelming emotion about the same things that made you cry too. Feels less lonely and embarrassing. I loved your journey.

Showing the prisoner our story is the most powerful moment in all of gaming for me. I still cry every time I see it, and the music hits just perfectly. I think the reason it hits so hard is that it perfectly culminates several things into this one moment. - The journey coming to and end and you finally find out why this DLC connects to the base game elevating its story even higher. - Displaying how all of these 3 alien races played their part and influenced eachother. - The act of telling the prisoner that he mattered. - Seeing the story you have uncovered in reprise, in a linear way. You have all these pieces, you know how they fit, but this actually shows it to you. It's so satisfying. The game is brilliant, the DLC is brilliant, Mobius Digital are brilliant.

Ah yes, Outer Wilds, the only game (that I know of) to perform the magic trick of legend that is experiencing the game for the first time TWICE.

"We let them know what they did mattered." Jesus. Hit me like a hammer. Your playthrough was incredible!

You should count the planets at 1:41:20 . There's a ice planet where Dark Bramble is supposed to be. That means the prisoner was isolated for a loooooong time.

24:38 Fun fact: The reason there’s jetpack fuel there is because it’s what they used when they were burning down the monuments to the eye. Also, the developers originally intended to have your jetpack emit a green trail when using their jetpack fuel, but realised it’d just confuse the player as some would try to use it as a puzzle solution which is why it works the same as Hearthian fuel.

I had no idea the Hal dialogue existed until just now. The fact that they get so excited to translate the alien language when they’ll never get to breaks my heart💔

The part where you were hypothesizing on how to get through the third area. I loved that. The nomai would be so proud of you.

You are the only person I’ve seen who actually figured out that the Stranger activates the green sails to push itself away from the supernova and the extra strain is what causes the dam to break. Well reasoned!

I love that everybody's first encounter with the Owlks is "Hi!!! Are you friendly?" Since by this point in the game they reward you so much for just being curious that you kind of forgo the thought of "Maybe this is a threat" and a combination of being excited to see another species out and about and walking around. Fucking love this game

Love how the first time she brought the artifact to the fire, she actually did what she needed to do AFTER putting down the artifact

I finally found a RU-vidr who cries as much as I do about this game ❤ Thank you

Man that recap we give the prisoner is so heartwrenching.

As someone with depression that final scene where you can see the footsteps leading into the water where the prisoner ends it; That final memory message they leave behind, which is literally their last thoughts as they "step into the light" broke me something terrible. As far as he knows, you killed yourself to even get to where you are, you're already dead, you're trapped just like he was now, and your only option to escape is to follow in his footsteps (I didn't see if it happened when the loop cycled but if you step into the water after him to put out your torch and "join him" the game rolls credits instead of doing the time loop immediately.) So the fact that his last thoughts as he dies is you, his only friend, going with him, FUCKED ME UP

This is probably the best Echoes of the Eye playthrough I’ve seen. >Managing to make it through all of the stealth scenarios without stealth is impressive. >Perfectly understanding the motivations of both the Prisoner and the Inhabitants (whereas in a lot of playthroughs, people seem to understand the actions of 1 but not the other). >Recognising the Prisoner upon meeting them.

The transition at 1:02:27 where she jumps into the water in the dream and it cuts to her landing in the water in the real world was so clean. Such a good touch. Very clever.

I cant NOT cry at the end of this DLC, EVERY TIME!!! no matter how many times i play it, no matter how many times i watch it, it ALWAYS makes me cry

Solving the fireplace puzzle without seeing the hint that's supposed to let you figure it out is insane. I can't believe you just big brained and explored your way into that solution

Using the elevator to skip the sneak section at 2:05:00 is the single most impressive thing I've seen in an Outer Wilds playthrough, incredible stuff.

I'm so, so happy you understood the meaning of the ending. Many streamers didn't, not that I wasn't confused in many areas myself.

Damn, discovered u yesterday, binged the whole supercut and directly got blessed by the DLC one, that's what I call PERFECT timing bb

The time from the Prisoners imprisonment to the Hatchlings timeloop is almost three hundred thousand years, as revealed by the Sun Station terminal, as the Stranger arrived some time before the Nomai, so that was definitely an extremely unwarranted punishment. It's amazing the Prisoner was still sane and coherent.

one of my favorite connections someone has ever made about this game was the shape of the eye of the universe itself. there's a patron satellite orbiting around the entire solar system that you can find and inspect, and it's meant to resemble voyager 1. on the real voyager 1 is a golden record inscribed with diagrams meant to help extraterrestrials find earth from the cosmos. the eye of the universe so closely resembles the shape at the bottom left on the record, a pulsar map meant to triangulate travelers to us from nearby star systems. i'm confident that was intentional. the visual of it makes me want to bawl my eyes out. ::,)

"What are the chances that they'd have fuel that works in our jetpack?" I just like to imagine that a Hearthian would see a tank full of what they assume is a highly compressed flammable liquid, and put it into their jetpack just to see what would happen.

I think the only thing you missed (And most people do) is that in the burnt house in the dream world, there's a painting. It was probably painted by the prisoner, and it was of that skull that ends up covered in grass with a flower sprouting out of it. The petals are the eye of the universe, and it's sending out new galaxies as if pollenating. Edit: The skull at 1:40:50

Your lack of fear with these guys is impressive. Between being in darkness and the intense music, it really got to me. Also I caved and looked up hints to get through it. Your dedication is admirable to figure out the easier way to do all of the sneaky bits.

I never saw teh footprints leading into the water in my first playthrough I just thought "did he walk into the water"but now I always see the footprints when i watch a playthrough. May you find comfort and peace prisoner lets meet again at the end of time and space.

51:20 "You can't stop me cuz I can't REAAD" had me loling

I have vicariously "replayed" this game by watching over two dozen other playthroughs on RU-vid, and you are one of like 2 people who actually deduced what the table at 27:02 means.

I'm honnestly impressed by your gameplay, asking yourself very relevent questions at the right times, being curious and try non-conventional things such as crossing the fireplace like it's nothing, etc. It's good to see someone so commited to this game !

"You can't stop me 'cause I can't read!" -Becca

honestly its crazy you figured out a bypass for the lodge! I never thought of that and had to fumble my way through the dark a bunch of times! This whole playthrough was super insightful! I’d love to see you play more games like this in the future :)!

Getting power from a dam, that's on a river, that you keep flowing by spinning a gigantic ring-shaped space station, is a pretty darn cute idea I gotta say.

I'm so happy to have found your channel, not only is Outer Wilds one of my favorite games EVER but you're also such a charismatic and smart player! When you laid out your hypothesis at 2:02:20 I was instantly reminded of how the Nomai wrote their logs and conversations, instant chills! Really cool editing as well. That moment when you jump into the water to leave the simulation and there's a seamless cut to another dive? Peak cinema. Thank you so much for sharing this content with us!

It's so nice watching somebody with such an open heart play this special game ❤ makes me feel very connected to you/humanity! Thank you for recording this.

Legitimately one of my favorite games in a long time. I've been basically watching every supercut I can find because I adore watching other people discover this masterpiece

Christ I thought I'd be able to handle the ending again but this just brought it all flooding back. Incredible game and amazing playthrough Becca!

You’re literally so smart what the heck. It took me so long to come to the conclusions you got to quickly. Wow.

Oh well time to stop any work Im currently doing and watch this

out of the several playthroughs i have seen, this may be my absolute favorite run through the DLC feels like you really got it; the cruelty and sorrow of the Owlk, the tragedy of the Prisoner, all the implications for the base games story immaculately done, it was a pleasure to be turned into a weeping mess by the ending all over again

I love the meta storytelling with the irl segments, super unique and cozy with all this being a story told around a campfire

Amazing playthrough Becca, theres one small thing I think you missed which I think you'd really appreciate. The burned down house at the back of starlit cove is implied to be the prisoners, theres a painting behind a panel there. The painting is of the owl elks skull (the same skull from the slide reel where they realise the eye of the universe would end the universe) but this time the skull has flowers blooming from it, showing how the prisoner believed that good could come from the eye. Although the eye brought the death of the universe, it also brought life to the next one.

Even years on and countless rewatches, still gets a couple of tears. I love this game so much.

So excited to watch this! I can’t get enough of experiencing this game vicariously through other people after it severely changed my life. I absolutely adore the thumbnail of you just balling, truly encapsulates my emotions towards this game.

Hey, congrats! You were the most clever youtuber that i saw in the DLC! 👏👏👏

The hardest part of Outer Wilds is realizing you can never play it for the first time again, but watching your playthroughs really brought me back 😭❤️ Also I was so surprised to find out how new this channel is! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more cleanly edited supercut. Subscribing to see whatever you do next! (After a break ofc) 🔥🔥

Hello from France, I discovered you with your OW supercuts, and they're incredible. This format is the perfect one to watch for someone who just finished the game and who wants to see someone else's reactions/emotions. You nailed it ! Thank you for this content, I hope to see more in the future :) Have a good day

too scared to play the dlc, im glad i found ur yt channel ! absolutely love it :)

This was one of the best supercuts ive seen. Out of the about 15 ive seen you are the only one who realised that you were not forced to stealth around the Owlks, but instead correctly deduced you can avoid all stealth sections. Im impressed. Thank you for making these supercuts!

I think I left this reccomendation on another one of your videos, but if you haven't played "Slay the Princess" yet, I think you might like it. Would be interested in watching whatever you decide to play next though.

Well done !!! I've rarely seen such an incredible Outer Wilds let's play! I almost had the impression that you were never lost and that you found your way easily by recording information quickly. Super good thoughts throughout with clever and intelligent gamer moves. It's a real satisfaction to see a gamer succeed with so many quick and effective deductions! Your logic is incredible.

This play through was incredible it felt great to be able to relive the magic of outer wilds through you

1:58:00 Everyone else: "Have you considered... getting gud?" Becca: "No thanks!"

Every time I get see someone's playthrough of this game makes me cry as if it's the first time. I'm so glad yall played and enjoyed this game

"oh these people are whimsical!" ah yes, the calm before seeing literally any of their photos

The little bite sized skits are so good. Please continue to try and do this for everything you play hahaha. Loved the video. Keep it up (:

Outer Becca : Echoes of the tears Thanks for sharing your journey with the OW lovers !

If you want to feel the same research experience as in OW, then I advise you to play Tunic, but, of course, you won’t have the same atmosphere of pleasant loneliness.

Outer Wilds. At once elegant in its simplicity and complex in its profundity. I hope you carry the memory of the experience with you going forward. I know I have.

I love how you actually weren't far off with "alien space zombies"

What a great journey... and I will definetely be there for the next one, whatever it may be :D Falling in love with a Let's Play Channel in 2024 is a real rarity, I'm so glad I found your content. Keep it up!

Amazing run, very good sleuthing and putting the pieces together. Thank you for sharing your journey, it was so unique and fun to watch. Some people don't give the DLC the credit it deserves, so it's nice to see you engaging with the mechanics, thinking through things, and seeing the vision of the creators. Excited to see what you do next!

"I don't love it because that scared me" LMAOOO this girl funny af. jokes aside i really appreciate the effort put into the editing. great vid

I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!

bruh these gameplays make me tear up so much

I just want makeup recs because I cried *at least* that hard at the ending and I looked like an absolute mess. You're a brilliant player, and your approach to some of these puzzles was really unique across the dozens of play throughs I've watched. Thank you for sharing and crying along with all of us.

I'm so glad I got to watch your beautiful experience. This game is truly one of the best. If only we could go back and experience it for the first time again.

Amazing playthrough! You’re a great let’s player, you seem to catch onto details much faster than others and you even found details I missed myself in my own playthrough. I’d love to see you play through Disco Elysium, I think the story it tells is right up your alley.

After watching this playthrough, Id be first in line to watch you play though the "To The Moon" Series if you haven't already! Those games are so powerful. Its hard to find genuine people to play that game. It's never truly the same the second time around.

The way you worked out the stealth part was inspiring! One of my favorite playthroughs of this game. It's fascinating how the order you do things can differ, especially in the base game. We did basically everything in reverse order so I basically went from "How did she already figure this stuff out?" to "How has she not already figured this out?"

In both supercuts I've noticed you're very good at reasoning.

The fun thing is the developers even said there was a part of the game everyone did that they didn't actually think everyone would do, and no one did the intended solution.. and its assumed that was the sneak section of the giant house you blow out, which you managed to skip, and do the intended way, haha.

im so surprised you found another way on the third basement! I was so sure you'll have no other way but to sneak lol

Thanks Bella, i cried as much as you did! What a beautiful game this is.

I loved watching you play this right after just playing the DLC myself. You have this wonderful habit of working out or just accidentally stumbling into correct answers/secrets without first finding the in-game slides that expressly show you what to do, and it’s just very fun to see. Lol

Feels less lonely when we all cry together ^^

I can tell the crazy effort that went into the editing on this video and those seamless transitions. Kudos.

the editing in this vid was super nice

It's so moving to see someone cry over my all-time favorite video game. A big thank you for sharing your emotions with us. A viewer from France.

Sometimes to see what's hidden in the dark we have to turn the light off ourselves. Loved the journey! And great work on your editing, it was a pleasurable watch. :))

Thanks for making these Outer Wilds videos, they are by far my favorite playthrough I've seen of the game!!! I also love your editing and lore between the original DLC videos.

Hey, thanks for both playthrough! Was nice to see you play. I'll definitely watch your video on slay the princess, as I really like this game too (so far, you clearly have good choices of games damn !)

It was an honor to experience your journey. I know how painful some of these scenes were, and I feel very safe knowing I wasn't alone in the tears and heartache throughout. Thank you for sharing this series with us. Perhapse no game can beat the raw power of Outer Wilds, but I look forward to seeing what you play in future! Whatever it may be.

Oh my god accidentally getting into the simulation is crazy. Never seen anyone do that without going to the artifact workshop.

I'll forever cherish this game - and anyone willing to tackle it w/ a curious mind and open heart. Thank you for sharing it w/ us.

caught your videos and thought they would be a great way to re-experience the game (as you can never really experience it again like you did the first time). You Have such genuine heartfelt reactions that it did not disappoint :).

Only one thing to say : Thank you mobius digital games... T^T and also thank you for sharing your playthrough as well, you made me cry and feel back all the emotions that this game has to offer. THANK YOU

Just starting this after the first supercut and I'm gonna say, it's really nice that you upped the video quality to 1080p60. It didn't hinder enjoyment of the first series but it definitely was something I was hoping for your playthrough of the DLC 😊

By far my favorite let's play of my favorite game.

The OG game was perfect. The DLC made the whole experience even more perfect. I’m watching Mobius very closely now, because I want to know exactly when they will release a new game.

Wow you breezed through the puzzles in this! Thanks for uploading the supercuts of this and the base game. I enjoyed both

Fun fact. Well cooked marshmallows actually heal you.

I shouldnt laugh but I always giggle when people reach the ‘emotionally compromised’ stage. That stage where the tear barrier is broken and just every tiny little thing sets it off again. Something amusingly human about it. Great playthrough, and what a game choice to kick off a channel with. Setting the bar super high for future games to keep up with.

Cant wait to see more of your playtroughs of emotinal games!

I like how instead of getting out of the ship to investigate the Satellite and Gabbro's very funny recording she stays in her ship and hovers around it like a bee eventually knocking away the recording

Outer Wilds and Avatar The Last Airbender are the two masterpieces I have experienced in my life that I hope I will be able to continue to watch over and over again for the rest of my life, and still cry every single time

Awesome video! Getting to show the prisoner that what they did mattered = ♥️♥️♥️

Been a joy to ride side-car to your playthrough of this game and DLC. Thanks for sharing it with the world :)

Awww becca I wish I could give you the biggest hug, this game made me very emotional too
