This hysterically funny free parody is pure catharsis if, like me, you cannot stand The Witness, or anything Jonathan Blow has ever done, or even if you can find the irony in it despite being a fan of his work.


It mercilessly lampoons its pompous, pretentious writing, its puzzle design, visual style and even the build-up to the big (predictable) reveal.

It doesn't limit itself to spoofing Blow either, taking the whip to other tropes of the indie game scene, most notably the horror walking simulator genre in one of the most hilarious segments.

It would be absolutely perfect if only it didn't take its "let's be irritating on purpose" approach to puzzle design to an uncomfortable extreme: it's fine to demand the player think illogically in order to proceed, not so to force guesswork while simultaneously contending with finicky controls and poor color contrast, making one or two late puzzles absolute chores.

Still, this is an outstanding game that shouldn't be missed.
