A fantastic puzzle game.

I know a million people have said this, but this is a really good game. Without spoiling anything, this is a game about drawing lines on a grid, and there’s a lot of cool ideas there, despite the simple concept. There are a few minor gripes, such as how long the game takes before it allows you to move in certain spots (experienced players know which moments I’m talking about) but with those exceptions, this is a really good puzzle game. I would not recommend the mobile version though. The ta

Masterpiece

Definitely a masterpiece

Perfect game!

无懈可击,完美的解谜游戏!

Bravo!

I finished 100% the game on PlayStation last year and am impressed how the experience works on touch platforms. It’s fun to play it all again. For those comparing to Myst, believe me, it will take you a lot of work, let’s say to “completing” the game for you to realize the depth Blow has given us. No pixel is without purpose. But you have to change your POV, literally and mentally. I had some concern about navigation and your fingers obscuring the screen, but I managed to get used to it. However

Good as far as it goes

I don’t understand the acclaim for this game. It’s well done, but its main mechanic is the same puzzle over and over again, in endless iterations. There is no variety, no story, and the little bit of Myst-like environmental integration is negligible.

Amazing AND frustrating

This game is a work of art and no doubt took hours and hours of thought and labor to create. It is an achievement in gaming and all involved should be proud. However, for me, in addition to joy and admiration for the game quality, there was a lot of frustration with this game. Unclear rules, sometimes tricky navigation, puzzles that were bordering on... cruel. If you love puzzle games, this is the ultimate test and worth your time. If you want a puzzle game that is fun and doesn't make you

Eh

Does not have enough content

The Witness

Nice graphics and lots of play time. I didn’t have the patience to work out the harder puzzles without walkthrough help. Ending was disappointing.

Greatest puzzle game ever

There are so many puzzles and secrets puzzels as far as eye can see ;)

Stellar - use with Apple Pencil on an iPad

I get the distinct feeling this is how the creators meant for this game to have played. I’ve played this game on desktop, but it’s not the same. This version looks great and plays great. The controls do take some getting used to but feel perfect for this unique experience.

Great game, wish I could use it on the mac

As this game can now be downloaded and run on the mac, is there a chance you could improve the experience there a little? It doesn't have to be a full blown desktop experience, but just making it useable would be great
