Entering The Constant

The events of his short were later officially summarized in DST's Compendium:

"Despite a life plagued by terrible luck, Wes has never been one to utter so much as a word of complaint. Rather than dwell on his own troubles, he has instead dedicated his life to making others smile... even if it's at his own expense.

His journey to the Constant itself was nothing if not a tragic comedy of errors. After a series of snowballing missteps, Wes found himself accidentally taking the place of a stranger caught in the grip of a shadowy portal bound for the Constant. His unexpected arrival infuriated the Nightmare King, who quickly exacted his vengeance on the poor mime for interfering with his plans. Wes was banished to his own private prison, far from sight, where he would remain until he was rescued by the Constant's other Survivors (being the kind soul that he is, Wes holds no grudge against Maxwell... though he does continue to give him the silent treatment.)

Had Wes known what fate awaited him on his last day on Earth, he likely wouldn't have done anything differently. In truth, there is a part of him that is happy to be in the Constant with the other Survivors - for who could be in greater need of cheering up than those poor souls?"

The event takes place a few years after 1906. Wes does pantomime on the street and earns money from passers-by who give him money. At one point, he notices the daughter of George T. Witherstone in the window from the houses. Wes tries to return the fallen doll with a balloon, but the doll with the balloon flies away, so Wes tries to catch up with the balloon. Along the way, he accidentally angers two crows and catches the doll. He then accidentally runs into George T. Witherstone, who was trying to steal Maxwell. Due to the collision, instead of George T. Witherstone, Maxwell steals Wes and two crows, causing them to spread throughout Constant. Apparently, George T. Witherstone and his daughter only recently moved into their new home.

Since Maxwell didn't want to steal Wes, he locks him in an invisible cage held by Maxwell statues. After this, Wes will be in a cage until someone frees him.

Don't Starve Together

At one point (which occurs after the fall of the moon island), Wes has a dream in which he saves Wilson from Bearger using a robot made of balloons. In his dream, he loses and wakes up in the same place where Wortox and Krampus robbed him earlier.
