I had friends who criticized The Witness for having a fluent way of weaving the player into puzzles and themes, because this way wasn’t a coherent story. Puzzle games emphasize game design in a way that people both ignore and take for granted. I bought it full price because I couldn’t wait for a sale, and I finished every puzzle without a guide (except for one-and-a-half, but shh). So, I waited alone, and was brought to immense pleasure when The Witness finally released. I began following The Witness, although I was sadly the only person I knew who cared about these sorts of games. ![]() I honestly only played one level and quit initially, because I previously had some not-so-enjoyable experiences with Humble Bundle games, and I was at the point where I was judging games by their covers.īut, as I veered more into the indie scene and began enjoying puzzle platformers such as Braid and Fez, I began to grow in anticipation for new releases. I first really learned about you from a Humble Bundle, which included English Country Tune. I just really admire your work, and everything I make is going to be heavily influenced by you from now on. I don’t even know if this is the best place to say all of this, but I’m going to keep talking in the hopes that you’ll actually see this. That takes guts (and honestly part of your revenue), but I can assure you that it’s recognized and appreciated by more people than just me. It is completely true to your persona (or rather, online persona) and although I’ve seen a lot of people complain about the naming and advertising on Reddit and Twitter, I believe that you’ve advertised this game such that its audience will only (or mostly) consist of people who really appreciate your work. I really admire the approach you’ve taken with the game’s release. ![]() I love you so much, thank you for this game. (I must admit I was stuck on one puzzle for probably about 6-7 hours, but I didn’t look it up - I got it in the end! It was Cold Cliff, that terrifying puzzle, which was so much easier than I thought it was in the end) I was going to wait for a sale, but this game was far too tempting so I gave in and bought it! I don’t know where the hours have gone, but 26 hours in and I’m still going strong.
