A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

IMO outer wilds has a strong tone of optimism and hope in the face of existential dread, so I think you're probably good on that front. And if you're at all a fan of environmental storytelling and don't hate physics sims, I think you'll like it just fine. If you're super unsure, maybe watch like the first hour (or less if you find your answer early) of someone doing a blind playthrough and see if the manner of storytelling grabs you.
