THE LOOKER - The Witness's Cursed Sequel Is Finally Here

The Looker, the cursed parody of The Witness puzzle game!
You wake up, alone, on a strangely familiar island full of puzzles that will frustrate and annoy you.
Explore several charmed locations on a mysterious island replete with over 55 creative puzzles. Over an approximately two-hour playing duration, you will face unique challenges, ponderous ideas, and feebly amusing in-jokes.
The Looker is a single-player game that respects you as an intelligent player, and it treats your time as... reasonably valuable (I mean, don't let me pull you off solving the Riemann hypothesis or anything). As such, I will level with you here-not every joke will be a hit, but there is no filler material, the puzzles are fun, and, if you really think about it, aren't the real solutions the, uhh... friends we make along the way?

Watching this feels like watching those mobile game ads where they intentionally fail the obvious solutions. Most infuriating playthrough of this game ive ever seen

It hurts just a tad that you learned you couldn’t cross the line over itself so many times but would immediately forget it for another puzzle.

@reversev9778 Жыл бұрын

I’m gonna retract this statement just a tad. After some review I remembered that some puzzles let you use multiple lines that connect to create a single line. And although it’s an entirely different mechanic, it isn’t at all immediately obvious.

@IcelyPuzzles Жыл бұрын

@@reversev9778 connecting multiple lines together was the only reason that spamming lines all over the board worked so many times, that "can't cross the line" was never really in my model of how the game worked. IMO, crossing the line is only a problem in symbol order and multiple start/endpoints being hit in my opinion

i think the hedgemaze puzzle was based on hitting the shapes with the least sides to the most, like in 49:10 it goes moon with 2 sides, arrow with 3 sides, tulip with 5 sides, hourglass with 6 sides, detailed arrow with 7 sides and witness piece with 9 sides

@IcelyPuzzles Жыл бұрын

I think that theory works! I will say that arrow seems to have 4 sides, and I think it's kind of questionable to call any curves a side though (the moon could be 0).

@joaquinruggiero3997 Жыл бұрын

@@IcelyPuzzles yeah the arrow has 4 sides, but it's still between the other shapes (2 and 5), and the curved sides do count, as in previous puzzles it went circle to moon, which would be 0 to 0 if not for counting the curved sides

@Fyrefrye Жыл бұрын

@@joaquinruggiero3997 the sides are defined by corners, not the shape of the side itself. The moon has two "points" and therefore two sides.

8:35 No, the original S+E puzzle you're pointing at was only "way later" because you did it later, because you forced your way into the castle area first by spamming on the stopsign panel. The intended flow is to only do the stopsign panel after the S+E panel after the outside the box panel. Nothing can functionally prevent going in the wrong order, but the knowledge dependency graph is not unfair.

@IcelyPuzzles Жыл бұрын

yeah, it is only because I did it later, but also I spend a lot of time in the castle area first which basically shows you the S/E and uses it in many puzzles. I still think it was a failure that I ended up opening the door first because there's no way I click the sign and then think "oh, I don't know what this puzzle mechanic is", I think "oh I found the secret, now I should be able to open it". and also the wire troll where it goes under the grass and pops up in a different area so I failed to follow the mainline

@U20E0 Жыл бұрын

@@IcelyPuzzles as for the puzzle with the wire across the 2 signs, you did not need to fill it, there was a “start” and “end” on the backs of the signs, but you somehow glitched it to work anyway

@IcelyPuzzles Жыл бұрын

@@U20E0 i legitimately thought the whole wire troll was like "when you light a wire, it becomes filled with red, so this joke is that you just draw all over the wire until it looks like it's filled with red" tbh

@U20E0 Жыл бұрын

@@IcelyPuzzles i guess this game is frustrating and unclear like that, and i guess the witness is also very unclear and sometimes frustrating but also actually good, so this makes sense for a parody. But the audio logs are an awesome addition, as well as the laser cube animation ( that you skipped ), and the entire game really.

@@U20E0 I watched some other let's plays and regret missing the laser animation lol. I mean, I got the joke that it was another slow animation to make fun of The Witness, but the way it does it with the extending mirror was great and I didn't see it lol
