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?

No, unless you already know how to pilot the ship, playing in VR is probably going to get you severely motion sick

Funnily enough piloting the ship is probably mostly fine, because you have the cockpit as anchor point and also you are mostly in space without a lot of close reference points to upset your stomach.

OP said they are an experienced VR player, they probably have good motion sickness resistance.
