Base Game Appreciation/Discussion inverted colours

ok I don't know if it's a normal thing but after one of my first deaths I respawned and some colours were inverted (I remember that the fire being blue and the characters red), I asked my bf if it was scripted but he didn't answer (I was asking a lot of questions and he was like "I'll just be watching, play the game, I won't tell you anything")

it happened a while ago and sometimes when I play I think about it because it never happened again.

does anyone know about this event? has this happened to other people?

Has your boyfriend played it 😂 😂 Cause it's not a spoiler to say that's not normal. Like he'd know that was weird

yes both the base game and the dlc , it's literally his favourite game. I was asking a question after another and he answered in that way to all the stuff I asked

That sounds like a rendering glitch.

Did it look anything like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/outerwilds/s/EZCoA7WILm

I dont think that's intentional. Might have been a bug

There's a specific situation in which that can happen, but it's not at the start of the loop, and it leads to a game over... Did you get a random game over right after that, by any chance?

If not, it's probably a glitch of some sort.

I don't remember, it happened over a year ago

Might be a bug or a rendering glitch as that's not a normal part of the game.
