It's the symbol representing a pivotal place called "The eye of the universe" in the game "The Outer Wilds"

If you enjoy story and/or exploration games, it is probably the greatest of its kind because it does some really unique things.

It is an incredible experience that explores using the player's knowledge and understanding of the game world as a core mechanic and as such it is utterly impossible to re-experience by playing again unless you manage to get amnesia I suppose.

Ironically, the core mechanic makes the community of its players including content creators VERY careful about discussing it too much to avoid spoilers which can really destroy the experience so you just sorta have to go in blind or risk ruining it by investigating.

Screen shots and short clips will make it look like a walking simulator but this is incorrect. It is much more advanced than most things that look similar from the outside including things like a physics based flight model and a physically simulated solar system with incredibly unique micro-planets.

I started playing 4 days ago, thanks to the community I have successfully avoided spoilers for years. I'm a few hours off. Very excited to finally sit down and take my final flight
