How do you solve a puzzle without knowing the rules?
The Witness is a 3D puzzle game that puts the player in a beautiful, outstanding, and mesmerizing island filled with over 650+ puzzles to be solved. All without knowing what exactly the rules are (or supposed, until you understand them..)!
The Witness was designed by Johnathan Blow and developed by Thekla Inc., with a score rating of 10/10 by the Youtuber IGN, it really justifies the simple, well-thought gameplay The Witness has to offer to new unexpecting players who’ll not know what’ll hit them.
One thing that I enjoy about The Witness is its concept. To a non-The Witness player it may seem like dragging one line from one point to another. But the game puts a twist to that, to an extent and pulls it off to its great potential. This truly makes the player think hard, see the world in a different perspective, and think outside the box when solving puzzles in the world.
Also, The Witness doesn’t have a solid storyline to follow but philosophical perspectives and views to seeing the world in different lenses. With tape recorders scattered throughout the world, The Witness makes sure the players are engaged and learn something new, and definitely fits to the whole “a change of perspective” lesson.
Fair warning though, if you start to play The Witness and go through its 650+ fun and head-aching levels, you too might start seeing patterns in real life too (I still see them till this day, haunting me…).

There’ll be more photos to come soon but I needed to share this now! The tarot deck, puzzle game, coming of age story hybrid that @postcurious and I spent a year and a half developing and creating finally landed on doorsteps in the UK yesterday and I am STOKED. The Light in the Mist is one of the most ambitious projects I’ve ever worked on and the feedback and reviews we’ve been receiving for it have completely spun me out. Rita did all of the grunt work speaking to manufacturers, getting quotes and samples, test printings and tweaks made. Meanwhile I got to sit back and wait for the final, polished thing to arrive before I physically held anything in my hands and the sense of gratification is HEALING. I tend not to spend a lot of time revelling in this feeling before I move on to the next thing but on the advice of my therapist I’m going on record to say I am incredibly proud of the thing we’ve made here and I’m so excited to finally be sharing it with everyone. Huge thanks to everyone who helped make the Kickstarter the unprecedented success it ended up being! And of course to Rita for being the kind of collaborator I intend to work with again even after an epic 18 months, 72 cards, a pandemic and an entire ocean physically separating us! . . . #thelightinthemist #tarot #tarotdeck #tarotpuzzle #tarotpuzzletale #postcurious #cryptogrampuzzlepost #ritaorlov #jackfallows #puzzle #puzzlegame #illustration #chooseyourownadventure #puzzlestory #kickstarter https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgd_0xCsm6h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
