The Witness is a single-player game in an open world with dozens of locations to explore and over 500 puzzles. This game respects you as an intelligent player and it treats your time as precious. There's no filler; each of those puzzles brings its own new idea into the mix. So, this is a game full of ideas.

What is The Witness about?

You wake up, alone, on a strange island full of puzzles that will challenge and surprise you. You don't remember who you are, and you don't remember how you got here, but there's one thing you can do: explore the island in hope of discovering clues, regaining your memory, and somehow finding your way home.

Should I stream The Witness on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 5 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The two English streams here hold all 15 English viewers — once you take them out there is nothing left to reach.

The two English streams here hold all 15 English viewers between them. Take them out and nothing is left to reach.

Only 15 of the 28 viewers here (54%) are watching in English. 2 of the 6 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

How many people stream The Witness?

Right now

6 right now, to 28 viewers between them. 2 of them are streaming in English. Counted live from Twitch and refreshed every 15 minutes.

Is The Witness too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 6 people are streaming The Witness, and the two English streams hold all 15 English viewers between them — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
