Outer Wilds is a technical and artistic marvel. It contains a fully-functional and consistent physics system, a miniaturized self-contained solar system, a moving, imaginative narrative about the end of the world, an unforgettable soundtrack, awe-inspiring visual landscapes, and so much more.

It’s a testament to video games as an artistic medium, a multi-disciplinary achievement that shows just how much thought, care, and craftsmanship goes into every minute detail of a modern masterwork. iam8bit is dedicated to peeling back the layers of great games like this, and we’ve got a real treat here to help you fully immerse in this beloved universe. The Art of Outer Wilds is a 300-page planet-sized deep dive into the creation and execution of Mobius Digital’s award winning title. Within its pages, you’ll find nugget after nugget of pure-gold behind-the-scenes goodness. Never-before-seen concept art, straight-from-the-source design docs, write-ups and reflections from the creative forces behind the game, and more— it’s all there, waiting inside this epic tome designed by Mobius Digital’s Concept Artist Ian Jacobson. Your guide on this creative expedition is Mobius Digital’s Art Director Wesley Martin, whose words act as a beacon providing deeper context and meaning to every artifact on the page.
