About This Game

From the creator of Braid, The Witness places you on a stunning, handcrafted island teeming with over 500 line-based puzzles woven into the landscape itself. There are no instructions, no hand-holding — you learn by observation, drawing connections between seemingly unrelated puzzles scattered across the island. As you solve, the world reveals a profound, meditative story about learning and perception. Praised for its elegant design and visual beauty, The Witness is a landmark of pure, uncompromising puzzle design.

Full Game Overview

You wake up, alone, on a strange island full of puzzles that will challenge and surprise you.

You don't remember who you are, and you don't remember how you got here, but there's one thing you can do: explore the island in hope of discovering clues, regaining your memory, and somehow finding your way home.

The Witness is a single-player game in an open world with dozens of locations to explore and over 500 puzzles. This game respects you as an intelligent player and it treats your time as precious. There's no filler; each of those puzzles brings its own new idea into the mix. So, this is a game full of ideas.
