The Witness in more detail

With Sony delving more into indie games this time around with its next-gen PlayStation 4. The Witness is a long in-development game that's slated to have a timed exclusive release on the PS4 as a launch title, reports The Sixth Axis, and creator Jonathan Blow shares a few things about what they want to do with the game.

"The trick is that there's magic in the subject we're exploring, and because the game is not constrained by financial fetters, we were able to find the magic and make it as good as we possibly could," said Jonathan Blow, President of Thekla Inc.

"The game is a multilayered thing. When you go in, if you're just interested in a puzzle game and you're not looking into stories or philosophies, there's a really good puzzle game there. But if you want to read further than that, there are other layers and a provision for deeper engagement."

For the mean time, watch the video, which is Sony's Conversations with Creators to see some graphics from The Witness.
