@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!
