The exploration and adventure, combined with the overlying narrative and the axiomatic-like puzzle development of The Witness has me interested. I was told over at TIGSource that some of the members here might know similar games in terms of the combination of that sort of puzzle design and adventure/exploration - know of any?
The puzzle design of the witness, as far as i can tell, is they all center around making a path on these panels, which of course much satisfy certain conditions - you start at the very basic of drawing a line and then various conditions are added along as you progress.
Thanks!
I don't know much about The Witness, but it looks a lot like Myst from where I'm sitting. If you haven't played that, it's well worth a go.
Penny Arcade just did a really interesting article (https://www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/2016/01/26/potential-thingness) about it. I will definitely check it out.
Apparently it was released yesterday.
I am waiting for this for years now! It's the new game from "Braid"-Mastermind Jonathan Blow. I am so excited to try this one out. But I have to work! MUST... BE... STRONG...
Maybe you could check out "Ether One" or "The Talos Principle"...
