Jonathan Blow: Social games are evil, adventure games are broken


Above: The island setting for The Witness. Hydra Island this ain't

The Witness, Blow promises, will apply sophisticated modern sensibilities to a long-dormant genre he loves as much as anyone.

And after publicly placing designers' obligations in such high standing, we can reasonably expect that the title ought to offer players a bit more than the occasional new cow.
