Outer Wilds Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Nomai — The claim that Nomai wear robes but not large masks is a factual error; canonically, they are never depicted wearing robes, and the masks are not worn by living Nomai.

Space Program — The claim that the Ash Twin Project 'never successfully activated it before the Interloper's ghost matter killed them' is inaccurate because the Ash Twin Project did successfully activate and create a time loop, though the Nomai died before they could use it t

Space Program — The claim that 'neither was ever successfully used to reach the Eye or create a time loop' is incorrect because the Ash Twin Project did create a time loop and the Eye Signal Locator was successfully used to detect the Eye's signal.

Giant's Deep Colony — The Eye of the Universe is not located within the solar system; it is outside the solar system, at a great distance from the sun.

Giant's Deep Colony — The Nomai did not discover the truth about the Eye of the Universe while living on Giant's Deep; they already knew of its existence from their arrival in the system, and the shift in tone in their records on Giant's Deep relates to their failed attempts to loc

Time Loop Cycle — The entry states 'Origin Mechanism=Ash Twin Project (uses supernova energy and advanced warp core to send memories back via Nomai statues)'. This is factually incomplete and slightly misleading: the Ash Twin Project sends memories back in time, not just 'back

Ash Twin Project — The Sun Station was built on the surface of the sun is incorrect; the Sun Station is in a close orbit around the sun, not on its surface.

Ash Twin Project — The Nomai investigating the Interloper sent a warning message is misleading; the Nomai on the Interloper did not send a warning message—they were killed instantly when the ghost matter ruptured, and the message was found later by other Nomai.

Time Loop — The 1983 live-action film adaptation of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time was not the second highest-grossing Japanese film of 1983; the highest-grossing Japanese film of 1983 was The Return of Godzilla (also known as Godzilla 1984), and The Girl Who Leapt Throu

Translation Device — The Translation Device is acquired from the Nomai ruins on the Attlerock, but the Attlerock is a moon of Timber Hearth, not a moon of itself.

Translation Device — The player's species is not human; they are a four-eyed, amphibious species from Timber Hearth.

Nomai Ancestors — The entry states the Nomai are found 'within the mysterious Eye of the Universe' and lists 'Eye of the Universe' under 'Found In'. The Nomai never entered the Eye; they only detected its signal and built the Ash Twin Project to try to reach it safely. No Nomai

Nomai Ancestors — The entry says 'There is no evidence of any precursor species before the Nomai; the Nomai themselves were the first known advanced civilization in this solar system.' This is contradicted by canon: the Nomai discovered the remains of an even older, unknown spe
