Title looks a bit wonky on my phone though, wonder if a mod could fix it.

True, just checked my iPhone. It does look wonky. Not sure if that can be fixed. Mods?

The game only consists of line puzzles, there is nothing else.

Aaaand you need to stop this.

I'm ready for this game to happen.

First "puzzle" of the game is you drawing a line from left to right. And this was one of the first pieces of concept art for the game.

Ah, nice. I still like it just because it sticks out.

Not only that, it's been in the game since the beginning

It also is the puzzle that opens the first door into the game and the world. I like the significance of that.

awesomegamername · Jan 25, 2016

I pre-ordered on Steam, can't wait! Is there a way to do something like auto-download as soon as the game is unlocked or do you have to manually start the download with Steam? On that note, when do games usually unlock?

Thanks! I tried to find that gif but couldn't.

Edit: Yeah the title is showing as ●──^72; on mobile.

You'll need to manually install it. In the case of this game, ~20 hours left until it unlocks. Unreleased games have availability info above where you purchase them.

My bad. Multiple No Man's Sky threads of "but what do you even do!?!?!?!?!" have made me unable to tell when people are being serious.

Hahah I just got here from his retweet.

This game looks like it just might just scratch my itch that Myst gave me. Been looking forward to this for some time.

Iced_Eagle · Jan 25, 2016

Can't wait to give this a shot eventually. I'm thinking I may actually wait until I get my Rift in March and play through this in VR the first time.

slider · Jan 25, 2016

Don't have the time to game these days. And, as an indirect corollary, I don't have the patience for puzzle games. But, despite not getting very far at all with Braid, I'm sorely tempted by this. Hmm.

gdt · Jan 25, 2016

Already bought.....can't wait.

Little confused as to when it actually is unlocked though. On Steam.

I think 40$ is too much but reviews got me spending it anyway. Good on Blow for believing in his product

haha no worries, it was in bad taste anyways.

EthanC · Jan 25, 2016

When I get this I think I'll get it on PC. Seems to be the better choice thanks to VR.

In your Steam library it should tell you. I believe it's 1pm eastern time.

Phinor · Jan 25, 2016

Any news on PC FOV?

Tetraeon · Jan 25, 2016

Hot diggity, getting this ASAP. Looks beautiful and I'm sure it will be a thinker and a half as well.

HiiiLife · Jan 25, 2016

I've been wanting a puzzle game on consoles for awhile. Might check this out.

If you haven't, take a look at The Talos Principle.

ScientificPizza · Jan 25, 2016

amazing title

i wasn't going to play this, but the quick look on giant bomb sold me in about two minutes

game looks beautiful

Sicious · Jan 25, 2016

Fuck, that description convinced me to buy this game very soon. I was planning to wait for a sale. Oh well, i want to be in Blow, i like his ideas.

mrklaw · Jan 25, 2016

Phinor said:

I'm actually wondering if that will be locked. Also wondering the same about 21:9 support. Mainly because of what was seen in the trailer previously might mean he wants to manage what we see and how we see it.

Just speculation though

Will do. I've been needing a puzzle fix since Portal1/2 were so long ago.

robotrock · Jan 25, 2016

I'm incredibly excited for this. Been going back through Braid, and it's still as brilliant as ever.

Anyone set up a countdown timer? I can't wait for this, I'm replying Braid to get me in the puzzle solving mindset.

We can't have a timer since we really aren't sure when it's being released exactly. The Twitter account for both the game and Blow says it should be out at 12:01 AM PST on PSN and 9 AM PST on Steam, but Blow really doesn't seem to know anything concrete.

If you want a Portal-like puzzle game, then Talos is definitely something to look into. It's been out on PS4 for maybe 3 months now so you can probably find a decent sale price on it soon. There's a disc available as well.

I will say I've only played it on PC, so maybe check to make sure the PS4 version is okay.

ElTorro · Jan 25, 2016

At which time of the day is it expected to hit the (EU) PSN store?

If you get the Steam app on your phone, it let's you remotely set games for installation. Which is pretty awesome.

Nice OT.
Game wasn't even on my mind until a few hours ago when I watched the Giant Bomb quick look.
Looks incredible.

Seems to be 12AM PST even for Europe

https://twitter.com/witnessgame/status/691732470694154240

The Witness will be released soon!
If all goes well, at 12:01am PST on the PlayStation Network (US + Europe),
9am PST on Steam + Humble.

I'm still hoping for some well-timed incompetence from SCEE...

TetraGenesis · Jan 25, 2016

I've been waiting so long for this day. All the years of devouring every new update on The Witness blog, every article, every interview, every video, every screen of the island as it progressed over the past seven years.

And here we are. The game is a certified masterpiece. I couldn't be happier.

Wunder · Jan 25, 2016

Went from cautiously curious to totally on board. I'm terrible at puzzle games but this sounds great!

ANDS · Jan 25, 2016

If this thing actually releases at 12AM PST I'll eat my hat.

I laughed when he said the reason for no pre-order was because "Welp we didn't know. . ." I guess if you're that into the game development. . .

Hard to contain my excitement with this one.

EDIT: Large picture of the Island.

Doesn't really look 650+ puzzles big, I'm guessing there's a ton of indoor/underground area as well.

Looking forward to spending some time with this tho, the game is gorgeous.

Skux · Jan 25, 2016

I'll give it a shot. I suppose this is the kind of game you're better off not knowing anything about before you jump in, so this will be all of the time I spend in the OT lol

From what little I've seen of previews, yeeah.. There's tons of little hidden places that you'll maybe/maybe not find.

Mexen · Jan 25, 2016

I have to be honest about the length of the game being something I am OK with.
The idea of solving puzzles for 40+ hours excites me. Bring it on, Blow.

NeoRausch · Jan 25, 2016

40 bucks on PSN, now get it rolling Grace!
