KnackChap Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Braid creator Jonathan Blow has begun teasing his name game, The Witness, a new website for which says it will be released on multiple platforms - "whatever makes sense in late 2011, when the game will hopefully be finished". In a post on his blog a little while ago pointing to the teaser site, Blow said The Witness is "very visual" and that he would start demonstrating as much once the group making it is ready. The teaser site describes The Witness as "an exploration-puzzle game on an uninhabited island", and on its first page displays the following text: "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'." Meanwhile, Hothead has confirmed that it is converting Blow's last game, Braid, to PS3, although Blow told Eurogamer he is not involved. source: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/j-blow-t...ame-the-witness Teaser site: http://the-witness.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I think he said it will be very philosophical in nature - like Braid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Apparently this was "playable" at PAX. For all three days of PAX 2010, The Witness was publicly playable by anyone who came by the booth. However, it was unmarked and unattended, so it was easy to miss (as many people did). I had several reasons for wanting to show the game this way. Firstly: At a show full of companies trying to capture your attention and sell you things, I wanted to do something that is subtle, and a surprise — if you notice it, and decide to investigate, you find something unexpected. Also, I wanted people to be able to play the game for as long as they want, not feeling pressured to stop playing because of a huge line of antsy people waiting behind them. Source. Doesnt exactly surprise me. The guy is a bit .... out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
