The Witness Free Download

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. The island is beautiful but lonely. There’s no music and no animals – only diegetic sounds of waterfalls, machinery, and the sound of your own footsteps. Though water flows and plants sway, the environment feels still and controlled, and it can feel eerie. You’re the only one here, but your influence on the world is limited: you can’t push, pull, pick up, or go anywhere you’re not supposed to.

The Witness Pre-Installed Game

Your only way to interact with the island, to open doors or create paths or otherwise make things happen, is to draw lines, thereby solving puzzles and occasionally operating switches. Your first act is to draw a line through a square on a door to open it, and once you’ve walked through into the island you’ll come across hundreds of more grids to be marked in much the same way. The rules change – sometimes you need to make sure that the line separates marks on the grid or forms particular shapes – but the process is the same: find a puzzle, solve it, witness the effect (an opened door, a new pathway, or just the activation of a new puzzle) and move onto the next.
