Oh wow, the new location is beautiful!
Much to see. Much to do. I could just play more and more DLC for this game forever and ever

EchoesOfTheEye comments - MAYBE SPOILERS!

@joel@fosstodon.org well... other than my Inception car/hotel lobby experience in the tower (which I'm still laughing about...) I'm making slow progress, but like with Outer Wilds, I'm just enjoying existing and looking around. I've tried a bit of a race with the boats to get around the thing as quickly as possible (I think it's an achievement, but it's also fun!).

So where am I? Well, I've found things like the hull breach and had a good look around in there. Got the idea of what I needed to do and did it in the submerged bell shaped thingy where I was shown more... um, projections? maybe, but I'm not sure what else to do there yet (there's code columns, I don't have the codes yet) but I tried to walk across a bridge and an alarm went off and brought me back.
I've found the rooms with table displays, one showing the status of the supernova, activating the solar sails (watching that happen is great), and moving away from the radius of the supernova (clever!). The other room I think you've found too - the one with the communication with the other craft. I think I know what this is, and why it is broken, judging by the slide reels I've seen, also, I think I know what the submerged bell shaped thing is too after exploring that a bit.
Found two Eye worship places - was one burned down and the other built in secret? and it lead to a certain disagreement between both sides? That's my current theory.

I've only just discovered how to access the tower bottom floor and did the obvious in there (and the inception-like experience). There must be an upstairs to that tower too but either I haven't looked properly or there's another hidden staircase. Only had one loop exploring that so far, so still much to do!

@paul @joel@fosstodon.org I found another secret room!
It floods quite early on, so got to be quick getting whatever I need done in there.
Also I learned a bit more of how the alarms work. I wonder if a little sneaking around may allow me to get closer to them... That's the next task anyway. But probably tomorrow now.

@paul
Finding more and more about the dream realm - I've found another "entrance" to it... Though really I found the roof of the tower which shows where they all are.
I have only just found an area where there seems to be a shadow of an elk/owl person looking at a slide reel. No way down to them as far as I can see right now.
I haven't found elk people walking around yet as others have, but I have been lighting every candle I come across because the dark everywhere thing makes it difficult for me to see... I have a sneaky suspicion they only come out when its dark.
And I think I need it to be dark to reach the alarm post things where I want to go next.
Gonna have to turn up the gamma I think...

@paul how's progress???

@joel@fosstodon.org I am done as of last week.
I basically stumbled across the glitches. I was putting the lantern down all the time anyway to see if I could pick stuff up, just happened to walk outside the bounds at a point where I was near an invisible bridge which was useful.
Then I started looking for other glitches as I would in anything else - a transition process seemed like a useful thing (Although I did jump looking for something above, then missed the boat on the way back down πŸ˜†). I actually didn't go to the 2and lock the first time I did this and went to the archives instead but couldn't find anything to watch there first time.
Finally, I was low on health after a nasty ship crash, and burnt myself in a fire. Notified I didn't hear the alarms and, well. There we go.
Basically I got into the vault without finding any of the archives. I have since gone to get them.
The ending was superb!

Fun other note: I watched the DS9 Sanctuary episode the other day and the skreeans speak of the "Eye of the Universe" πŸ˜„
