The Outer Wilds is a game that is difficult to talk about, because it's a game about discovering itself. Which means the more I talk about it, the more I take the game away from you. And that's a difficult position to be in when this game makes me want to talk about it *so badly!*
Anyways I was halfway through a script that tried to navigated this issue by having a front half that was largely spoiler free and a back half that was spoiler city, and I realized it made the whole thing lumpy and awkward (and also required most people to drop off halfway through the video). So I figured I'd cut it in half, release a spoiler free version (or as spoiler free as you can when talking about this game), and then next time we'll *really* dig in to what's going on here.
