Someone Made a Parody of The Witness, And It Is HILARIOUS! (The Looker)

The Looker Full Game: it's so much more than just a parody. It's kind, it's funny, and honestly, it's not that bad a puzzle game either. Highly recommend to people that love The Witness and people that hate The Witness.

This game was way funnier than I expected, especially since it made its own comedy and didn't even make fun of The Witness too much. You should still get the game yourself even after watching! It's free, and there's probably some stuff I missed in this video.

9:45 I loved The Witness, but my one complaint was that the lazers fired a little too fast. I'm glad this game has improved on that.

[@Patashu]

I was expecting it to just have a third laser come out the top, I cackled at what happened instead

[@A_Weird_Angel]

@laith shame

[@ethanlivemere1162]

To be fair, the speed of the lasers is kind of a pointless complaint since you don't have to wait for the laser to get activated, you can just move on

[@Last_Person]

Dude I loved this game, every joke for me landed perfectly, especially the “horror” section where you suddenly whip out a shotgun and blast down a puzzle. Truly a top tier parody.

[@anonymous_idontreplylmaous72]

Definitely

[@A_Weird_Angel]

It was halarious... Get Markiplier to play this after simulacrum

[@fishydids]

When I initially came to that section since I picked up the ammo at the start of the game and hit control right as the shotgun popped up I thought that the shotgun was freely usable any time to just destroy a puzzle.

And where you shoot a statue that you think is an enemy that has a sign that says "Please Don't Scratch This Statue"

13:00 Actually, there is a way to categorize the order. it's based on the number of corners in the shape, from least to most. a circle has no corners, so 0, the moon has 2 points, a triangle 3, the hourglass 6, etc. etc.

[@Wrathwaiser]

But in the practice puzzle for it where you had 2 arrow shaped and 1 shape with both infused, it falls apart since it started with the top left when it also couldve started at the bottom right

[@sashya2664]

@@Wrathwaiser nah mate the one triangle in the top left had 3 corners while the one on the bottom right had an indent in its ass, giving it four corners total

[@darklord-rf8yd]

@@Wrathwaiser The shape on the bottom right has an extra corner on the bottom side, so you actually can't start with that one.

[@Murdock1260]

I was thinking the number of sides, circle has 1, moon has 2, etc

[@sammich_uwu]

Just curious, this wasn't a shape but how do you think a heart would be classified? Technically it has two points, but since one point is inside of the shape, you may also be able to say it has one point

The slow beam animations had me laughing my ass off but I was not expecting the ending. Pure comedy gold.

This simultaneously sums up the actual issues with the game, makes some amazing cheap shots like the dick and shooter segments, while also exploring the idea of drawing a red line to its fullest

Oh, goodness, the nostalgia. Has it already been two and a half years since your The Witness playthrough? This parody is an excellent trip down memory lane, and genuinely entertaining, all at once.

[@astralghost8619]

I remember when I used to watch your Witness series and would tune in to it after class. I still lived in an old tiny apartment, but sitting here in my home again makes me really miss the homely feeling of the apartment, it's only been 3 years ago since I left it to move back but it already felt so nostalgic after a year of living back home. And I can guarantee you that tuning in to watch you play the game all excitedly definitely was one of the more nostalgic memories for me.

[@the_nick_knack]

Lmao was not expecting this. I love that it did poke fun at the Witness, but also made its own humor too. Fifteen minutes well spent

[@vaughnblakely7595]

Hidden gem in this game that I think went under appreciated. If you read the whole kids menu there is not a section with both the letter E and S, so there is no solution besides the Maze.

How long until we get a “Baba is You” parody? That’s the Tyler content we all crave.

[@hydrogen-8]

Hempuli (the creator of Baba is You) made a free parody called Baba is You XTREME

baba isn't you

[@DemonixTB]

there exists a community game caled "bab be u" its mostly the normal game but all the text is fucked up funny

[@Xhadp]

I love the heavy jabs at the audio for The Witness, straight up followed a tutorial for the bamboo laser in Witness and shipwreck so having this game being made straight up impossible unless you listen to the audio is a nice jab. It is a really nice jab at Witness without going too overboard as shown by making it free and limiting it to a small hub area.

[@Xhadp]

2500 reviews within a week of release, that is crazy. Is this normal for FTP games? that is a quarter of The Witness's total reviews

[@shakewell42]

Somebody has probably mentioned this, but the symbols were in order of least amount of sides to greatest amount of sides. Great playthrough :)

[@evetheeevee2977]

For the stop sign, here's how it was solved So there were 2 puzzles earlier that showed you how to do it, but this time it was less obvious. The catch was that if there were multiple end points, you have to use both, and that S and E represent Start and End respectively. So all you needed to do at the door was connect both Ss and Es, which you only did after scribbling on it.

[@Catflers]

Yeah, he got the bigger one, but missed the s and e in understanding

[@greenbirdmusic7495]

this looks like a lot of fun! excited to see what the game throws at you (cuz i mean seriously, 4 mins after video came out? ofc i've only seen the intro...) just, knowing your content, its probably just as good as your videos always are! which is why i usually sit there waiting for like 3 mins beforehand for each day's video from you to come out... your content just makes my day better

[@greenbirdmusic7495]

that ending caught me off-guard...

[@IcelyPuzzles]

i appreciate aliensrock noticing your comment :)

[@zacharycates5485]

This is absolutely incredible! I love how it pokes fun at the Witness but still makes it very clear that the devs hold the Witness in high regard. It’s funny, clever, and the puzzles actually seem decent.

[@Whitewingdevil]

I played The Witness for a total of a couple hours, until it gave me the worst motion sickness and headache I have ever had from a videogame. The Dev said at the time he wouldn't add anything for people having the same issue, so I refunded it and never looked back.

[@NuclearRaven13]

well i mena you can't do anything other than making the witness a 3rd person game to combat videogame induced motion sickness I guess, and the witness is reliant on the first person aspect with its puzzles so its natural that the dev can't offer anything to do with motion sickness other than like free motion sickness medication voucher with the game.

[@tissuepaper9962]

@@NuclearRaven13 The Witness is literally the only game I've ever played that gave me motion sickness. I've played well over a thousand hours of FPS games, none of them give me this problem. They were doing something fucky with the camera+movement in that game and apparently more than a few people noticed. I didn't even know it was a widespread thing until I just googled it now, so don't blame it on priming.
