Indie developer Jonathan Blow, creator of 2008’s Braid for Xbox 360, has announced that The Witness will be among us January 26, 2016 for PC/Windows and PS4.

From the trailers and screens, one can see that The Witness has a look and feel quite similar to Myst. The game is a first-person puzzle-adventure in which players explore a deserted island and solve puzzles in an open-world setting, which will enable players who are stuck on a particular puzzle to move on and return to it later.

And there are many, many of puzzles. Hundreds, actually. This will not be a short game.

The narrative of The Witness is told through audio logs scattered throughout its world. Rather than relate information in a straightforward manner, however, these logs are obscure and abstruse; it will be up to the player to interpret them however he or she sees fit.

Consider this enigmatic quote from the developer: Something amorphous and consummate existed before Heaven and Earth. Solitude! Vast! Standing alone, unaltering. Going everywhere, yet unthreatened. It can be considered the Mother of the World. I don’t know its name, so I designate it, “Tao.” Compelled to consider it, name it “the Great.”

Discover if it was worth the wait on January 26, 2016, when The Witness will finally be released on PC and PS4. According to the developer, iOS versions will follow at a later date, and possibly other platforms after that.
