![100% Game Walkthrough - The Witness [All 523 Puzzles + 135 Environmental Puzzles + 49 Audio Logs]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nXqBLYuvFyk/mqdefault.jpg)
Gonna try out a wide variety of lesser known games this week. All of them may be amazing, or none of them may be. These are planned to be one-off videos, unless any of the games gets a widely positive reception. Enjoy!
Dev here, thanks for trying the game! This was really fun to watch :D
It is quite a short game, so if you do another episode, it'll probably be the last one (unless you decide to do the optional secrets...)
The game has a widely positive reception (By me)
I really wanna see you play more of this!
Greetings, Tyler.
This tastes like T R I A N G L E
you know you just played Myst when you say "you can walk off platforms in this game"
Also The Witness
This game looks like it was designed by the team behind antichamber, which Tyler should play if he hasnt
@@bencersparney3654 I recall Tyler playing Antichamber and disliking it, which I was sad about.
@@bencersparney3654 this design looks very similar to Manifold Garden.
@@bencersparney3654 Antichamber was largely one person (Alexander Bruce), not a team
I feel like a game like this should be a VR game.
There any VR devices out there that can emit scents? If not, they should get on that.
@@Aliensrock There was some device that could emit scents, but it was banned by the FTC for using the same technology as vapes.
@@Aliensrock If any come out I will buy them immediately
@@Cr_nch Okay lets invent the nerve gear instead
@@Aliensrock scents are cool and all, but what abt one that you can TASTE
I like how he just solved the color puzzle by adding colors without using the actual light mechanics of the puzzle
I love Tyler, always making puzzles more complicated by not using the game mechanics
Well color theory isn't super complicated
what color puzzle?
@@EvanG529 adding colora isn't, but real color theory is complicated because human senses made no sens
The green one did force you to do that because it was behind the wall
I wish you'd left at least a single touch level, just to see its mechanics
We didn't even see anything from the touch section. It's nice that you think it's uninteresting and repetitive and it may well be for you, but we didn't even see a single puzzle so puzzles we thought may be interesting don't even get showcased. By all means edit out him walking between areas because those are not puzzles. The editing was overboard here, we missed like half the game.
I agree
Same
I agree :/
True
Yeah, I mean, it's a game about 5 senses, and even if the touch section would leave me disappointed, I still wanted to see at least the concept they came up with.
Really didnt like that a whole section was cut, i understand that several puzzles arent shown because it gets repetetive in that section, but at least show us the basic of how the section worked? I couldnt even decide if the red section was uninteresting or not because i dont even know what you had to do.
The vision section was so clever - I'm surprised how much of the other sections got edited out
to be fair, vision is probably the easiest one with current tech
And the other is basically also vision
Except the hearing
I mean, it is pretty hard to stimulate your sense of taste or smell with a computer. Maybe the sense of touch could work if you had a controller and it needed vibration, but I can't see any other way for it. Only sight and hearing really works here.
@@Rogeryoo That is true with a computer. But did you know a few theaters used to release certain smells during the movie? They stopped because it was cost prohibitive
I wish I could get the raw footage so I could decide what was interesting or not
@Dyanosis That first sentence got wierdly existential
Man, I love me the taste of 🔺️
I also love it when i taste the letters C A K and E
@@jy6512 I'm not much of a fan of E's taste, it has way too much L in it for me.
ꙮ tastes better, trust me.
"hmm... I'm getting notes of...... Left left left up up left left up right right right down right right... No, wait. Right down up up! Exquisite. Such a subtle palette."
@@emdivine have you tried F yet? if not, try it.
On the one hand the puzzles in this game seemed a tad repetitive and memory based, but I also really like the interconnectedness of the levels, it's almost baba-esque in a way, and the theming is cool if maybe not executed that well in how the puzzles play. I think overall this might be more fun to play then to watch, but also I watch for you, so I wouldn't complain on more of this game
a tad repetitive and memory based. no shit.calling it babaesque is probably the only shot this game got but its not good.
@@MathildaLindgren I think its good
@@RedPandaStan each to their own :)
Only cause he editted out all the parts that weren’t memory based etc, which is a large chunk of the game
Dont want to be rude but I dont enjoy cutting out this much content, I really like to see all the puzzles and your thoughts in them. It seems like alot of others in the comments agree, if you want to keep cutting things like this could you make a second channel where you upload the videos unedited?
Very cool idea, sadly it's not gonna happen((
"Game tests ALL five senses"
Tutorial level:
'Lick your stick!'
@TowBy the Mudkip you summoned me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
In recent videos it seems like you've been trying to keep the pace extremely fast. Why'd you skip, like, all the non-memorization parts of the sound AND taste sections? "Mixing" was the whole point of the taste section. Also I really liked the touch section :(
yeah the whole 3 floor touch puzzle waa really satisfying to figure out
Yeah, I've never played this game, but I'd at least be interested in seeing more of it than what was shown. I get cutting stuff out due to tedium but it felt like so much was chopped, and we didn't get to even see the touch section really
Ya, I really didn't like this. If I wasn't down to watch someone solve sometimes boring puzzles I wouldn't be watching this channel. I also can skip ahead myself if I want... even if they would've zoomed through the boring sections instead of just skipping them then making it confusing later when the big smell puzzle needs to be solved and we didn't even see a whole section at all.
well, he’s not editing the videos. yes I’m 10 months late.
I feel like this game was a perfect 2 parter that made no sense at a single video.
Can we get an uncut or less-cut version?
What a well designed tutorial format it feels like it could have been the entire game. The "taste" mechanic was a little underwelming but idk what i was honestly expecting.
Yeah, i expected that to be the end, and credits roll. Like a small short and sweet single-video indie game. But when tyler said "i think that's just the tutorial" i'm now very intrigued how long this game really is
I like how it almost tricks you into thinking you can still rely on the visual cues it gives you and not focusing on taste. But I think it still basically is just a visual puzzle filtered through a gimmick.
I’m gonna have to get this game myself, it’s a crime I didn’t get to see like half of the puzzles of the tutorial.
Congratulation! My personal favorite level of this game was cut in this video.
@@user-jh9rq4zc7v was it the 3 floor touch puzzle
@@MINECRAFTLOVER4000 not really
This mysterious orb has a very complex flavor, I'm getting notes of ∆ with a hint of +
This feels like The Witness
Especially since the only explanation I can think of for why it's called "The Witness" is that it's about perception
EDIT: I mean, the main similarity is the wires everywhere
The Witness but with extra parkour
The Witness, but somehow more pretentious in its premise while being far more underwhelming
this is a pretty crazy concept. i feel like it would work better as a real life game, but this game pulled it off shockingly well.
especially the taste part lmao
How exactly would you taste the map tho
@@NStripleseven Simple, you have a series of 'flavor pellets' or whatever nonsense you want to name them. You establish that certain flavors are related to certain directions, then you give the series of flavored pellets in order to provide that piece of the map.
"This one tasted like a lemon! Left. LEFT FOR LEMON"
leftmon xD
brilliant
This game seems like it would be really cool, fun, and interesting…. once VR gets to the level where taste, touch, and smell can be replicated.
1:20 Scrap Mechanic calls them 'NAND' and 'NOR' gates - they are just the opposite of AND and OR gates.
Ive studies 2 years of logic to learn that the N in NOR and NAND stand for not xD
The thing that switches the value is an invertor not a nand or nor gate
@@milanvissers40 Erm... if you mean one input and its negation as an output, that's a NOT gate in logic.
If both inputs are true then true = and
If either is true then true = or
If one is true but not both = xor
Outputs the opposite = not
ah yes, my favorite flavor: (lists set of directions on a map)
you find the most intriguing games i swear like all the games you’ve played are games i want to play now
The idea for this game seems so cool but I think the fact that it's limiting itself to each sense is making it difficult to design good puzzles. In The Witness you had similar sound and visual sections and those worked really well. I feel like all the sections that didn't work were mostly senses that you don't actually use when playing a game. I like the theme, but I don't think it's a theme that translates well.
Also: including every sense in a game is one of the best ways to make your game inaccessible to a lot of people 😂
Bro not a lot of people can’t use their senses
@@SpencerTwiddy Uh, but some people can't. That's what accessibility is all about. Most people have full use of their legs, but we still have ramps and lifts for those who don't. Accessibility for games is similar, for instance if you're deaf you can't do the cat meow one or the dark room at the end of the hearing segment. Most of the rest of hearing had panels lighting up though.
I mean, a person with no taste or smell isn't affected in any way in this game and don't think not having a sense of touch is even possible. A blind person isn't going to play this, but a visually impaired might, though the puzzles don't require being able to see well, just see at all. The light one had help for colourblind people, after all. The only people that would be affected in a realistic way is for deaf people.
@@Rogeryoo The smell area is probably not doable for people with colorblindness though. The only sense in this case that wouldn't stop you from playing is feeling or smell.
Besides, it was more of a joke than anything lmao
@@martijnp ah, sorry, the joke went over my head. I also just saw the parts Tyler showed, and only the first one had colour, but they also had different shapes, so it equaled. But now that I think about it, the smell area is also impossible, since you wouldn't see what colours of "smell" correspond to what, so oops.
editor's note- I cut out 90% of the video's content because I assumed you wouldn't want to watch it, even though some of it is brought back up later
I just remembered a really cool game that I think you'd love - Antichamber
Would love to see you give it a try
thank you editor! very nice viewing experience
10:21 “What an interesting symbol”
Pain.
i'm extremely excited to see what else happens in this series!
25:00 Tastes like [ *map directions* ]
My favorite pizza condiment
I'm 3 minutes in i already know this game is gonna be sick. Love the style
I never could finish the game. The last puzzles fried my brain.
But i would like to see your whole playthrough😁
Congrats on 500k!!!
I would love to see more of this game
I wish I have someone like Tyler in my life. It would be nice to talk about games and things and challenge puzzles together 😌
I hope you will fiinish this game sometime. Really enjoying your content, keep up the good work!
The gates that invert the signals are commonly referred to as "inverters"
They are also called NOT gates. (Compare: AND gates, OR gates)
The AND gates are specifically designed to mimic AND gates in diagrams, which is cool. For whatever reason, NOT gates in this game aren't the same way.
"Excited to taste these puzzles!" -Tyler 2021
Yeah, I'd like to see more of this.
Oh my goodness. Couldn't imagine you playing this game!
The visuals remind me of antichamber
Normally you would only have 2-3 of the 5 senses (sight, sound, and touch(rumble) ), but this game is blowing my mind with the other senses.
I was expecting that to be the end of the game. This game looks massive, I seriously thought you were kidding when you said tutorial 😂
Fun little puzzle game -- my favorite areas were visual followed by hearing/tasting. I suggest that everyone give it a try!
I wish you made more, but this was the first and last one
This was a pretty fun game to watch.
Also appreciate the editing Ben!
Feels and looks a lot like the Witness meets Antichamber!
The entered room puzzle was so smart
It reminds me of Antichamber - Artstyle and Puzzles
10:21 aliensrock:“huh, what a interesting sample.” Me seeing the among us: 😅
Ooo, the premise sounds interesting
You may have seen this, but I believe Logic Car could be a fun game for you to try. It has a similar objective to Poly Bridge but you "code" the car to get across the gap.
From an angle the skeleton looks like a depressed sans laying his head on a table.
reminds me of antichamber, with the thick outlines and prominent boxes.
2:20 the witness instincts kicking in
I love the editor
Play more potion craft please! I love those videos
This is when Tyler realizes the utility of Twitch chat: to take copious notes on his findings in these games!
I’m liking this game!
good to know that this game has meta puzzles
13:35 Anyone else realise that this is a better designed version of the Selenitic Age subway puzzle from Myst? I vividly remember playing that game a while back.
Controller vibration would be really good for the “touch” puzzles
But how would non-controller players figure it out? It would be a very unfair puzzle to some.
I watched the streams of RBDjellyfish making this game. I may be biased but I think it's pretty good
I like the shorter more highlights style videos like this. I like being able to get a sense of a bunch of games instead of long videos or series on every single one. Plus if I deside I want to play I don't know the answer to every single puzzle haha
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
16:00 yeah memory puzzle
I somehow remembered from before that wow
MeMoRy
Gosh I can smell the puzzles
This makes me realize how smart Tyler is
The puzzles here almost felt like the Witness to me- things in some areas opening up other areas through knowledge (and the little antennas that you'd light up by completing an area, as well.)
Interesting, that in the lack of being able to reproduce taste, smell, and touch, that they would choose to *invoke* those sensations instead. When in the taste area I felt myself being able to picture the taste of blueberry, lemon and lime that it showed. Same with the C A K E.
10:21 "What an interesting symbol"
GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD
I think the full unedited journey should be posted on the VOD channel or smth
Maybe not great to play and hard to edit, but the video turned out really good.
I cant wait for the dlc where you play as spiderman
this video makes me feel dumb.. because aliensrock is TOO SMART
“Is there a name for a thing that switches the value”
I DON'T *CARE* IF ISS BORING, I WANNA SEE THE FUNNY MAN DO THE PUZZLES
The sound is good enough for me when i hear my clock
Please make more of this game or I WILL DIE
The sound can mostly be done with your sound off. However taste was creative. But I'd do touch and smell differently.
10:21 when the puzzle is kinda sus
Hey Tyler,
Just found your channel and I've been enjoying your playthrough of logic/puzzle games. Have you ever played or heard of the game "Baba is You"? I'd love to see you work out some levels in that game!
He played it around a year ago.
@@forkliftcertifieddummy not just played it, beat it 100%! Give Tyler credit where it's due!
2:51 looks like a basic minecraft mob farm lol
Wil there ever be a part 2 of this game?
Tyler have you played Antichamber? Would love to see you play, even if its just a sneak peek
*eats white orb
“Hmm, tastes like triangle”
When he said the green was smell, my mind said "is this smell or snort."
4:44
I thought it would be the rotation that matters
This seams interesting
I have to write stuff down? Aw man...
*_Says the man who played MYST_*
The symbol at 10:20 lookin' kinda sussy
nice
this reminds me of the witness' puzzels
Yo Tyler or Editor, have you considered using timestamps for games like these so we can easily tell what section we are going in or how close we are to said section
Im gonna be honest i would have much rathered an entire video of you exploring rather than cutting an entire section out. Even if you think it wouldnt be that interesting. But whatever you want to post ill watch
Strong witness vibes
Am I wrong or there wasn't touch area in the video, but the red hand was still turned on? (didn't play the game so I am asking for real)
Red + green = yellow, now I may be colorblind, but that looks right
There is a color of flower for each sense.
Is this from the same studio as Antichamber? Another good logic/puzzle game.
I think this was made by 1 person?
