The Witness: What it means

The Witness is an argument. It uses game design, audio, and video to present its case about our relation to the search for truth.

Developer Thekla and designer Jonathan Blow’s puzzle game is a challenging adventure where you draw lines, listen to orations, and watch YouTube clips. It sounds simple, but as you go through that journey, The Witness uses these elements to make claims about the human experience while also providing evidence for those claims.
