Well, Jon Blow's *The Witness* is going to be released [exclusively on
the
PS4](http://the-witness.net/news/2013/02/a-clarification-about-our-ps4-exclusivity/).
That is in terms of its availability in the guise of a console game,
however. Those seeking the game on the PC or through an iOS device won't
be presented with a sweaty dilemma.

always been magpie-like in my choice of console, and have usually
arrived at the conclusion after some time that my original choice was
pretty much outright wrong. This bit of experience, combined with the
fact that my respect for Blow and his
[ethics](http://jumpnshoot9000.com/2012/10/26/some-more-game-theory/ "Some More Game Theory"),
as well as his [design
philosophy](http://www.gamespot.com/the-witness/videos/the-break-room-interviews-jonathan-blow-6403321/),
makes me want to pick up *The Witness* as early as I can, makes me
question my initial disappointment that Blow didn't choose to make a Wii
U release a priority.
Well, never mind that for now. Blow featured *Antichamber* on *The
Witness*'s blog, a very different kind of first-person puzzle game. Take
a look at its teaser trailer:

After watching part of this [walkthrough/let's
play](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvLUkMRycd0), it becomes obvious
that the fundamental concept that drives this game has borrowed from
quantum physics--the [observer
effect](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_(physics)). It's
fantastic
The reader can find its Steam page
[here](http://store.steampowered.com/app/219890/) (digital copies for
\$20, not unreasonable for an independently developed game), and its
website [here](http://www.antichamber-game.com/).
