The concept of the all powerful entity ,slowly dying , alone , and struggling with the question of why it was abandoned by it's creators touches on so many questions of existence and is incredibly poignant. I thought when I picked this up "Oh cool , a space game" .

Eventually it cannot receive updates and not all the apps work, but it is self aware and it knows a restoration to a save point will cause it to cease to be what it is today, but it just wants to work correctly again and receive updates.

@@Lucifronzit kind of reminds me of Ark Survival Evolved lore. You really have to go out of your way to get the full story, and even then you have to piece it all together. 7 Days to Die is even more extreme, as there is no actual documented lore, but there is a lot of environmental story telling and you can piece that together. Contrast NMS, Ark and 7dtd with Conan Exiles that not only has back-story, but then has a giant extended lore thanks to the Robert E Howard books.

“Alternate reality game (ARG) An interactive, networked narrative that uses the real world as a platform to tell a story. Players work together to solve puzzles and tasks in virtual or real-world environments, using a variety of media like videos, audio, text, and images. Players may take on roles such as detectives, playwrights, or scientists as they explore the world around them to uncover clues. ARGs can weave together real-world artifacts with clues and puzzles hidden in many places, such as websites, libraries, museums, stores, signs, recorded telephone messages, movies, television programs, or printed materials.”

watching this for the story after the base game stuff (pre- Living Ship being my knowledge because I got more side tracked trying to find a planet to build on cuz I like water worlds from a building point of view) and now with Echoes out I wonder where the game and story are going to go. my hopes are to make it much more of an alive feeling game with things like Expeditions leading into true First Contact situations, a story where we actually help the being survive those last 16 minutes of life it has that leads into it's new found sense of purpose creating new life within the simulation with the 3 default races becoming something of the elder ones each leading a faction of like minded races via a council that can give you grand missions and even allow you to play the Expedition stories for none of the unique rewards but a mass amount of normal rewards on your established character

I cannot help but pity the Atlas. They existed for a purpose, fulfilled that purpose or outlived it at least, and now they have been left all alone. The Rogue Data section does seem to imply *someone* comes back to the Atlas as it's dying, however, which makes me wonder if at some point we'll learn that the Atlas has been given more time. Or perhaps that is just part of its dying wish. A desire to see their creator one more time and learn why it was abandoned manifested like neurons firing off in the brain and flashing its life before its eyes. Nada hates the Atlas, but I can't help but empathize. I'm sure it has probably done much to warrant the hate, but as someone mostly outside of the system (a clone of the Creator in the form of a Traveler anomaly), it's easier to feel for it.

Ig the reason why us travlers are important is cause the atlas revealed the truth about the simulation to us which is what makes us an anomaly and the fact that we are based the creators of the game in iterations. That's a alot😮🤯

So i was writing a story similar to this and it hit me. In the artemis quest the atlas hasnt had a diagnostic in 1.9 trillion years. That sets the real world time pretty much in the degerate era of the universe we suspect. Atlas must be a Jupiter Brain that has grown and lived long past the humans that were the iriginal travelers. Given how much the scientists sacrificed to make it, probably near the end of our existence on earth. Now in my story, The AI "Librarian" fwiw, was designed to find a solution to entropy and as it traveled it picked up additional races and integrated them into the time dilated simulation. I think HG were going for the same kind of thing but the ARG obscured or was a change in direction for the story.

And people say it's not possible for us to exist in a simulated universe. Yeah sure. Which gives more questions like "What if the people/beings or whatever in the place simulating us is a simulation to and their is infinite layers of simulated universe with no top or bottom or maybe they just form a donut where the "bottom" universe is simulating the "top" universe even though their is no top or bottom". I'm now subscribing to "donut" theory.
