The Witness will frazzle brains in January 2016

The Witness is a gorgeous new puzzle game from Braid creator Jonathan Blow. It's coming to PC on January 26 2016.

There will be hundreds of puzzles to solve. Jonathan Blow gives his completion estimates on the Playstation blog. "There’s a lot here. When we started making this game, I figured it would have between eight and 12 hours of playtime. As it happens, the game we’ve finally built is around 10 times as big as that. If you are a completionist who wants to wring every last drop out of the game, you might expect to play for 80 hours, or possibly 100. For people who don’t want to go quite that far, the game’s still got plenty for you."
