The Witness

[Sly Reflex]

I started this yesterday and already sunk 5 hours into it.

 

It's really good and there's been a few puzzles that made me feel smart working out.

 

I've fired off maybe 3 lasers so far? One I had to redirect.

A lot of the puzzles I've seen so far have been pretty easy, the basical line drawing stuff was no bother at all. Really I didn't face any friction until I got to the windmill, this is when things went south.

 

The ones where you have to shine the sun or look at reflections to see the traced lines were really smart.

 

The last one I did before logging off for the night was one where it was an open grid with a puzzle on the exit door, but you had to look at the grass growing on the floor to navigate towards the end. I feel smart as fuck for noticing that.

 

It's gotten to a point where I am having to use a notepad now, I can only really cache so much information in my head before stuff gets pushed out.

 

I have to be honest though, I'm not sure what the fuck is going on overall. Seeing footage from the BBC from a million years ago certain was a surprise though, I really wasn't expecting any of that.

Another laser fired. I was mistaken, I think this is the third one I have fired? I can only see two more aside from this one. I though I had more.

 

Currently in a quarry and I had to give up. I understand

The caltrop symbol removes one requirement

 

But working it into puzzles now I know how to play them has broken me a little bit.

Make that another.

 

 

Fuck those Tetris piece puzzles. I hate them, I feel like whenever I solve one it's by sheer luck. Whenever I feel like I understand it, it throws my understanding right back in my face.

 

This is a really good game.
