My friend recommended this game to me, saying to go in completely blind and only have a talk with him once I was sure I was about to go for the final loop to talk theories, ideas, etc. So I decided to do a discord stream with him when I got to that point. I sat on timber hearth's campfire with a marshmellow. I imagined I rounded everyone up to tell a story. An unbelievable story that, by the time they would take it seriously, they'd forget it. With that in mind I started telling my recollection of the game. The sad story of the curious nomai who visited our system ages ago. How we survived to the horrible coincidence that was the final nail for them. How I've discovered what's going on with our universe, what they've done in search of the eye of the universe. And how I shed some tears knowing I couldn't save them. At the start of the game I thought the sun station was prompting the supernova. That if I stopped it, I'd save them. But it wasn't like that. Maybe we could use the working drive thingy, jump on their ship and transport to another safer place but no place was safe. So rather than living forever in this 22 minute loop for eternity I would follow the path of the Nomai who I had grown to love. The only thing left was the eye of the universe. Going there meant that everyone would die for good and there was no real hope. I didn't know what would happen once I got there. But it was something. And though they were never aware of the millions of times they've been through, I sat there until our sun exploded again, enjoying the moment with them. Hopefully, some would feel that joy 14.3 billion years later.
