For this piece, I wanted to commemorate all of the moments in this game that hit me hardest, or were most satisfying to solve. So, clockwise:

The Orbital Probe Cannon: I struggled with navigating the OPC so much. If I remember correctly, I died twice, then spent AGES searching for the third module in orbit before suffocating, since my oxygen was used as fuel. BUT WHEN I FOUND IT!!!

Slate: Talking to Slate (which I did most loops), always made me so sad. They will never know. They see you gasp awake after being eaten, or suffocating, or getting smushed by sand, and will never know why.

The Quantum Shrine: I had a lot of OW spoiled for me, because I watched a playthrough after thinking I wouldn't ever play it, since I only have a switch (and didn't realize it was on switch). However, the playthrough I watched didn't solve the shrine, so I did it myself, and got to organically discover Solanum.

Nomai Gravesite (Pod 3): Another discovery I made by myself (and quite a sad one).

Ash Twin Warp Towers: This gave me hell. I knew what to do, had completely filled out the ship's log, and kept second-guessing myself after failing the warp and getting sucked up by sand 3 loops in a row. But then I found the Ash twin project and cried. Worth it.

Chert: My (genderless) boi!! Also has the honor of making me cry for the first time in this game, after telling them that the sun was dying and watching them have a panic attack. I spent the rest of the loop with them.

Riebeck: I just love them. They were my default path to the hanging city for a very long time, just so I could visit my friend.
