The Witness is a first-person puzzle game with adventure game elements, developed by creator of Braid Jonathan Blow and his independent studio Thekla. The action takes place on a mysterious island, from which all people suddenly disappeared.
For anyone who enjoys mysteries and puzzle solving, "The Witness" is ideal. In addition, the story is made up of both riddles and a secret narrative that you won't learn about until you finish the game's subsequent tasks and difficulties. To learn as much as you can, prepare your mind and express patience and deductive thinking. Since the game is only for one player, everything is in your control. "The Witness" was created by the independent Number None studio, which has become known for producing top-notch puzzle games.
Plot
You have the ability to explore the island, which is rather big, throughout the course of the Witness game. Due to the open-world nature of the game, you are free to explore all of its nooks and crannies and find new riddles as you go. But before you can finish the primary task, you need to figure out a puzzle. Even though there are indications that it once had a large population, it is interesting that the island is now completely uninhabited. Do you wish to learn more about this enchanted location's past? More riddles to solve! The island can end up being the biggest mystery you have to solve.
Gameplay
Exploration is the foundation of "The Witness"'s gameplay. Both on foot and by boat are options. Keep your attention on the task at hand as you piece together the history of the island. The game's crucial symbols, hints, and indicators have been deftly concealed in the surroundings of the player so as to suggest more to them than may initially be apparent. Because there are no indications in the game and we must rely only on our own abilities, the fun is diminished.
Key features:
You must complete every puzzle on your own; the game is only playable in single-player mode
You will undoubtedly see allusions to the beloved puzzle-adventure series "Myst"; if you enjoyed it, try "The Witness"
The action is seen from a first-person perspective (FPP)
Patience, perceptiveness, and the capacity to combine seemingly unrelated elements are qualities that will undoubtedly aid you in a successful game

Even though the game is just full of line puzzles, its very challenging. There's no lore but there are a few secret videos you can find (I found them a bit boring). The game teaches you the puzzle mechanics as you progress from simple to more advanced puzzles, and different areas of the map have different types of puzzles. You may have to look on the map for an area that will teach you certain puzzle types to complete later areas that combine more than one type of puzzle (like the saw mill for example)
