when i was like 8 years old i had a dream once that i somehow was teleported to my grandpa's house

i remember hiding behind the trashcans in front of their house, watching my uncle sitting on the front porch with a friend of his sharing a 6 pack
i was so freaked out and i had no idea what would happen if they saw me

but then they did
and he stared right at me
and my entire body just went cold, frozen, paralyzed by the thought of "oh my god, what do i do, how do i explain this"
it wasn't necessarily fear of my uncle, i actually got along with him pretty well

it was the idea that i had intruded a place that i had no reasonable explanation for being at, watching people go about their daily routines, routines i were never meant to see, not because the routines were secret but because i was simply not a part of them

this fucking game man
anyways dlc was stellar, i played it before any updates so arguably i got the "worst" experience, and even then it was amazing
the visuals, the music, the story, the twists, the fear
all of it worked
and the ending was one of the most cathartic things i've ever felt

if you haven't played the dlc, or just haven't played outer wilds in general i absolutely IMPLORE you to try it
yes, it may not be for everyone, yes it may not "click" for you the same way it did for me, but you never know what experiences you're missing out on if you never give it a chance
