I have never wanted to crack an area of a game as badly as this one:
This one is not easy. You will find yourself enduring a bit of positive stress, excitement and frustration, induced by the time component of the puzzle.
To unlock the casket, you have to solve more than a dozen puzzles, while racing trough the caves. You will have less than 30 seconds per puzzle. A single, small mistake might make you have to start over. When the second songs starts thumping trough the speakers - faster and faster, louder and louder, you know you're in trouble, for you are running out of time.
Spoiler Free Hint
All puzzles are connected, but some are more connected than others. Understanding this hint will save you a bit of time.
Oh, the joy
Beating this puzzle has been the most rewarding experience of all the puzzle games I've played so far.
About "The Witness"
You're exploring a beautiful island, filled with puzzles and deeply satisfying, hidden treasures. The game is exceptionally well designed, and it will teach you how to think as you progress.
If you're going to play it, take your time to explore, observe carefully, and have fun.
The witness is the best game ever, to be honest. It looks like a boring game, but it's the most interesting one I've ever played. I haven't gotten very far, but I love the game.
The puzzles really exercise your brain and it is a great way to pass time. I have the game installed on all my systems. So where ever I go, i have the witness with me :P
Haven't played it in a long time though, thanks for the post. I'm gonna play it again. Also, I haven't reached as far as you. Good work! :D

ooh this again :) I've missed playing it, I have to say I barely got through braid and didn't even finish it :D it was great but I ended up watching the secrets and spoiled my game, then I pretty much started watching the game and stopped playing it.
The witness I didn't even play, just checked out the most important moments, like the full complete ending, some "lore" elements and basically spoiled the ending again :D I have to say I loved the concepts that I saw at least.
It reminds me of The Talos Principle, which I also left unfinished, I got as far as getting the half of it complete, then I opened the warehouse went "up top" and saw I had many more puzzles to go :D
Now that I think about it there were two other games that come to mind, one was a indie game Mind: Path to Thalamus. I actually managed to finish it, it oooooh damn, well it's a great game, but damn I just remembered the most mind numbing strange puzzle game I've ever played Antichamber :D and gameplay wise The Witness kind of reminds me of how much fun I had playing A Story About my Uncle, I will leave two trailers of Antichamber and ASAMU
Mind warping Antichamber!
Something about an adventure :)
So if you've missed any of those games I would highly recommend them :)

I need to play this game! I loved Braid and I still haven't figured out that game completely. I've heard nothing but good things with this game. I just have so many other games on my list to complete. That's what summer is for right?

Agreed, solving that puzzle is one of the most satisfying things ever! After that, it was to find all the hidden environmental puzzles and every secret! Great job @furion!

Been waiting for a good puzzle game eversince. I love how simple and crisp the graphics is. No more "over the top"animations. We have been plagued by too much "overacting" action, adventure, fps games.
We need this breath of fresh air.

well there are many interesting titles, if you search for them they come up, how about Fez? I would say it's even better even if I haven't played it.

There are far too few thoughtful puzzle games like this but the more games like this the better.
Maybe besides this game, and the Portals, there are a few more other games in this style that I recomend you to look at like maybe Quantum Conundrum and Qube

what, call of duty? there are great games around, just don't support the shitty rehearsal ones, that we seem to get 100s of every year :D I don't know who buys that crap, all are the same boring shitty games, FPS hasn't improved since Quake and UT and ok CS, all games just repeat repeat and get dumber every time it seems. Creativity is what we need also getting out of the "corporate" loop where we just buy what is thrown at us and wait to get advertised to, fuck, that, search the better games, support the better developers, I'm very disappointed with how the Fez guy got trashed, the game dev of this also got trashed for his first game, i wasn't as serious, but still. So many "colorful" creep people run around basically, being cash cows that hate it when they get called stupid for being stupid.
I have to say I enjoyed the old school COD and Battlefield games, but it grows old quick it seems, people value games less nowadays, that's why we get good games cheap and shitty games in ULTRA HIGH (buy DLC) parts and expansions and whatnot.
Sorry for the rant :) time to end it here :D

Hey @furion, I didn't know how else to reach you. I have a very simple Steem project you could likely help with and perhaps may interest you and @steemsports. It's a poker site we're tying in with SBD freerolls. http://www.lucksacks.com

you want a poker room set? I made one a few years ago I can revisit and change it to your liking :) here is the sample :) It's all 3D well the image isn't :D
It's just laying around so I have nothing to do with it, I wished I could make a game with some friends but nobody seems to care. So tell me if you want some graphic material :) ad sorry for bumping in
