The Game Awards are just around the corner and the developer behind Outer Wilds, Mobius Digital, finds itself nominated in the Fresh Indie Developer category. Gunning for first prize alongside the studios behind Disco Elysium, Gris, My Friend Pedro, Slay the Spire, and Untitled Goose Game, the team has a decent chance of coming out on top. We're sure every member of the developer will be hoping to scoop the award, but the game's composer is invested for an entirely different reason.
Andrew Prahlow designed the fitting music of the space explorer, but since the category the title is competing in is sponsored by Subway, he wants to get back at a former employer. Humorously, Prahlow was fired by the sandwich-making business at the age of 19 because he "made sandwiches too slow."
The composer might not have been a good enough sandwich artist, but he managed to create an entirely different type of art some years later with Outer Wilds. If you want to help Andrew get his own back on Subway, you can register your vote for the game on The Game Awards website.
Will you now be voting for Outer Wilds in this particular category? Add extra spice to that comments in the section below.

I think you've already proved your worth just by being nominated. As great of a story as it would be if it won I wouldn't like to bet against Disco Elysium
Well I’m sure when Subway need a jingle and this guy isn’t around to write it for them they will be gutted, but if he did make sandwiches too slow he probably shouldn’t have been working there.
Unless it was his dream job, and when he wins this award he expects Subway to invite him back into the fold with open arms..
Everyone knows that composers make poor sandwiches. Has anyone ever had a sarnie from a composer? No? Exactly.
@Rudy_Manchego Jim Reid from Jesus and Mary Chain made me a sandwich once if that counts. It was alright, if a little dry.
@Danloaded Honestly, Disco Elysium or Untitled Goose game could win this award and it would be completely deserved. It's a real strong bunch this year.
Wow, there’s nothing like holding a grudge, right? 😂
Hasn’t Subway suffered enough lately?
To be fair I always expect my Italian BMT on hearty Italian bread with cheese but not toasted, lettuce, cucumber and hot chilli sauce in about 60 seconds.
@nessisonett Well firstly, Jim Reid is a singer AND songwriter and they can make sandwiches but as you say, they are on the dry side.
Sounds like he should be grateful he was fired by Subway as instead of making subs for a living, he is able to make use of his true talents. Odd thing to be spiteful about.
@ApostateMage I looked up the contents of that sandwich (never been to a Subway before), and, as an Italian, I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole lol
It's absurd the amount of food that's called Italian abroad but has nothing to do with Italian food lol 😆
@clvr Yeah, it's more of a typical American sarnie really, a load of meat and some sauce. It's is pretty tasty though but it's the delicious chilli sauce that makes it so.
@ApostateMage chili sauce is actually good, I really like it 😉
Oh and btw thank you for teaching me the word sarnie, I'd never heard it before 😄
@clvr butty, batch, cob, sarnie, sanny, roll, stack and worst of all in Barnsley my mate used to call it a tea cake Wtf.
Of course, nowt beats a good old fashioned spam butty.
@themcnoisy thanks a lot mate, I'd never heard these! 😄
They're British names, aren't they?
Brw tea cake neraly had me rolling on the floor 😂
