Wonderful essay as well. Thanks for conveying your thoughts. Echoes of the Eye is such a gorgeous dance with grief, fear of both the unknown and our assumptions.
To me, the greatest thing EotE adds to OW (among a number of other things) is the scene in the Prisoners grave around the Campfire at the End of the Universe. As you approach the end of OW, "what you must do" feels inevitable, inexorable. The candles in the grave make it obvious that this is a _choice_ that you're making. _You_ are deciding to snuff out what remains of the old universe, including yourself. _You_ are doing what the Owlks not only refused to do, but tried to prevent. The Universe is ending, but it can cling to existence as long as the loop persists. OW already had a message of letting go, but the grave drives it home. (It's disappointing how many players rush through it without even noticing what's happening.)
I knew this video would be a banger when it started off with a Frank Herbert Quote. This was a great video with a great message! very good quality, keep up the good work!
Exact same boat here- just saw the other video and loved it, wished for the Echoes of Eye video, and then it popped up in my suggested feed immediately!
The howl of The Prisoner as he realizes that his sacrifice wasn't for nought, he did made a difference by facing what his people was afraid of, and brought hope to the next universe. 🤌🤌🤌
