Introduction
Hello friends! Me (Joe), and my co-commentators Katie (ginko) and Jesse are going to play The Witness all together!
What is The Witness you ask?? From wikipedia...
quote:
The Witness is a 3D puzzle video game developed and published by Thekla, Inc....Inspired by Myst, the game involves the exploration of an open world island filled with natural and man-made structures. The player progresses by solving puzzles, which are based on interactions with mazes presented on panels around the island or hidden within the environment. The player will have to determine the rules of each puzzle from visual clues and audio recordings scattered around the island.
Basically, lots of mazes made by Jonathan Blow, the creator of Braid.
We'll be using Teamviewer's screen sharing/whiteboard mode to solve this game together! There'll be editing if a puzzle takes too long, and probably lots of doodling.
I've played a couple hours of this game already, so early on I'll be leaving a decent amount of the puzzle solving to my cohorts so they can learn the mechanics behind some of the trickier mazes. I'll most likely be posting 2 or so videos a week. There is a temporary plan to post every Wednesday and Saturday! We'll see how long I can keep that up.
This is not a super serious playthrough.Videos
