Stopping doesn't make the vehicle shorter! This is a common myth, especially among large oversize vehicle drivers in this area.

I played around with the pixel settings in the Next Fest demo. It's honestly more of a curiosity than something that really matters, but I'm glad someone on the game thought of this. The most notable change with pixel-perfect mode is the text font becomes lower resolution to be strictly snapped to the grid. Other than that, you'll find that the backgrounds scroll choppily. I'd imagine it would feel good that way on a smaller screen.

It's that eternal struggle you may have seen if you play modern games with pixel art. How strictly should the game follow the grid? I think Pipistrello's default "soft" mode is my sweet spot. Rotated and resized pixels are yucky, but I'm okay with smoother scrolling and sharper text. Celeste is that way as well.

I was super impressed with the demo from Steam Next Fest last year. It's definitely high on my list for Steam sale purchases.

One neat feature the game has, which was unnecessary but that I appreciate, is the pixel perfection settings. The game uses "soft" pixel precision by default for smooth scrolling and sharper text, but you can enable strict pixel precision, which snaps everything to the pixel grid.

About a year ago, I heard someone mention that Outer Wilds had a VR mod. I do have a VR setup and am an experienced VR player, so I really could experience this game for the first time in VR.

Is that reasonable or should I play it the first time with flat graphics?

Among all the niche, hyper-specific articles on Wikipedia, it's this one that surprises me that it exists.
