Release Date: TBA 2015 Braid turned out to be one of the most popular indie games ever made - a throughly original and ultimately shocking little title that packed tons of creativity and replay value into a seemingly "simple" platform package. With its cute graphics and time travel gimmick, it was something of a sensation upon release and garnered great critical reviews. So it's not hard to believe that The Witness, designer Jonathan Blow's long-awaited follow-up, will emerge just as victorious as Braid once did, come release day. According to the press release, The Witness is "a puzzle adventure game, experienced in the first-person view. The player, as an unnamed character, finds himself on an island with numerous structures and natural formations," which sets the stage for a mysterious quest built with secret mechanics that its developer is desperate to keep under wraps. From what has been glimpsed thus far, though, the game itself looks gorgeous; there's a good chance that Blow could have a second masterpiece on his hands with this one.
