I've been playing it - anyone else? Tip: if you buy it from Humble Bundle (rather than Steam), you can choose to have a DRM-free version. It turns out that this is actually closer to what Jonathan Blow wanted for it: no achievements for example. You just play it and get lost in it. It has also made me appreciate my surroundings in a new way during actual real walks in the countryside. You can tell I'm a fan, can't you It seems like the kind of game that won't happen again. It's difficult to imagine how any other team would take the risk of making such a labour of love over such a long time. Being The One Guy who made a game like Braid really puts you in a unique position, and I have to admit I'm also a bit envious At least I can say I helped support it by (eventually) buying Braid (off to play it some more) -- |

For me "The Witness" is the name of a famous film with Harrison Ford playing a detective who work on a murder in the Amish community. "Code is like shit - it only smells if it is not yours" |

It's on my list of definitely-want-to-play games. Also on the list is Doom, and the now controversial No Man's Sky.

Looks interesting, but also looks a bit expensive [for a man on a budget]. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?
