'The Witness' to feature over 400 puzzles
Published Wednesday, Feb 9 2011, 09:58 GMT | By Matthew Reynolds
Developer Jonathan Blow said that the project, which is scheduled for later this year, will feature over 400 puzzles on release.
The figure is over five times the number of trials featured in Braid, although the time taken to solve them will be faster.
"In comparison, Braid has about 76 puzzles in it," he said. "So that tells you something about the relative sizes of the games.
"That said, the puzzles in The Witness are often intended to be bite-sized and quick, so it’s not really a direct comparison. (On the other hand, some of the puzzles are most definitely not bite-sized and quick!)"
It was added that 222 of the game's puzzles have been created so far.
