i forgot i played this, it was a little funny
Fuck that on rails achievement, shit gave me carpal tunnel
this game makes you draw a penis
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.
It's a free puzzle game on steam, yeah pretty much.
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
This game thinks it's a very clever critique of the witness, but really it's just a half-assed knockoff that's way too made at Jonathan blow for being kinda pretentious.
my real issue was that the looker just wasn't fun to play. it was a weird chore that spent it's short runtime making non-sequiturs at me.

clearly made with love for the witness. good stuff. not very good as a game but funny
Actually funny and has clever puzzles.
Genuinely Fun free experience. Short parody game but very funny and clever
The better version of the witness
this game was so silly omg i loved it, played it right after the witness using a controller c-stick as the mouse with hypersensitivity after a sleepover.

COCK????
So much effort on everything except the most important part, the drawing mechanics.
Never played The Witness, but this game is still hella funny.
way funnier than the stanley parable, not as funny or as good as the witness
review update this game sucks shit lol, kind of hating it every minute since i closed it. idk self referential shit like this that is just a worse imitation of someone else's true vision is like............................. its just a waste of air lol, even if jon blo sucks ass. its the kind of art id never want to make. it may be more funny than the stanley parable, but it's a lot more philosophically distressing for me.

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
Better than The Witness.
Good meme but nothing else.
