Quota in the Loop

You play Outer Wilds. The Company from Lethal Company has hired you.

Real Lethal Company scrap lies all over the solar system, and real Lethal Company monsters prowl every planet: about 50 per loop, spread over every area so there is always something nearby. Sell scrap at the Company's deposit hatch in your ship before the sun goes supernova. What you sell counts across loops, the quota rises after every loop with Lethal Company's own formula, and missing it gets you fired.

Both games are really in it. Outer Wilds is the game you play. The scrap, monsters, sounds, voice lines and quota rules come from your own Lethal Company install when you first press Play. Nothing from either game is shipped.

Six kinds of monster, one kind per planet

• Thumpers: on Timber Hearth, two already loose in the village when you wake up.
• Coil-Heads: on the Hourglass Twins, in the Sunless City and across both twins. They only move while you aren't looking.
• Snare Fleas: on Brittle Hollow, on the Hanging City's ceilings and across the crust.
• Eyeless Dogs: on all of Giant's Deep's islands. They hunt by sound, and your jetpack is loud.
• Brackens: stalking you in the fog of Dark Bramble's dimensions.
• Hoarding Bugs: on Attlerock, nesting by Esker's camp and across the moon. They guard nests of your scrap.

The Company

• A few hundred pieces of real scrap per loop (32 kinds) with their Lethal Company values, weights and icons.
• The four-slot bag, the scan and the shovel, which waits by the starting campfire.
• Monsters move at about half their Lethal Company speed, so you can run or get a swing in.
• The Company's voice in your ship.
• A quota on your HUD and a Company tab in the ship log.

Keys: E picks up, takes the shovel and sells. 1-4 select a slot. G drops. V scans. Left mouse swings the shovel.

Solo. Your Outer Wilds save is never changed; the Company keeps its own books. On a new save, the contract starts once you have your launch codes.
