So much effort on everything except the most important part, the drawing mechanics.
Game parodies tend to end up being just worse versions of the game they're parodying, but The Looker manages to both have some legitimately interesting puzzles and actually be funny enough to make it worth your while.
A simple puzzle game that takes about an hour to beat but is very worth it
Just one more puzzle before retirement...
For a goofy, free little overly smart parody of The Witness, this was pretty decent. Left me with a few chuckles, which at the end of the day is all it's supposed to do. There's some psuedo-intellectual stuff within it's voice recordings that made absolutly no sense in a way I found pretty entertaining, but for the most part the writing was pretty funny. The only thing that I just really didn't like is actually playing the puzzles. Like yeah, sure, it's supposed to be obtuse and silly, and in design it's not too bad, but the actual playing of it just feels super finicky and frustrating, especially when the only thing stopping you from getting a puzzle correct is an accidental bump of a wall causing your own circuit to just never work, which ESPECIALLY gets frustrating during the more 'video gamey' sections where accuracy is really important. Still, for what it's worth, I had fun.

A decent little parody of The Witness. Cranks the tedium and the kitsch of the writing up to, like, 15.
Fun and funny
clearly made with love for the witness. good stuff. not very good as a game but funny
He he
One of the funniest games I've played, especially while with friends who knew nothing about it. Puzzles were genuinely really good. Definitely worth checking out.
Maybe i should play the original, not the parody. This left a lot to be desired and little impression
Parody game of "The Witness" was very funny at times and had some genuinely clever puzzles. That "On rails" achievement sucked to get though
nice fun little game with clever idead
Helps to have some knowledge of The Witness going in but not necessary to get humor out of the game
A good parody game with some really fun puzzles and some really confusing ones.
genuinely hilarious The Witness parody, with puzzles that make you exhale out your nose when you look at them and narration that makes you actually laugh, havent laughed out loud at a game in forever
Never played The Witness, but this game is still hella funny.
very interesting and unique, just a little short maybe.
Considering I love the witness and these kinds of joke games are usually extremely juvenile (this one still is)... surprisingly fun and funny
life changing
a masterful parody of the witness it's hilarious and the gimmick at the end is amazing
Good meme but nothing else.
Funny, kinda dumb, very silly.
Unironically pretty good for what it is. Makes fun of Jon Blow which is always a plus.
the obelisk..
Genuinely got a few laughs out of me and has some pretty clever puzzles in the mix. Loses some points for me though because of some wack controlling and awful optimization.
its a pretty good parody, i feel like it might bash the witness a bit too much
optimization could've been a bit better but its whatever.

It’s a dick joke
It's a fun parody game of The Witness. It doesn't try to be deep at all at it, the puzzles are okay and the game delivers exactly what it proposes, nothing else. Very short, I recommend it just to be able to say you've played it and was mildly amused.
Great little 40ish minute experience.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK perfeito
