The idea is to explore the island (which is open world), finish puzzles, and discover your identity.<\/p>\n<p>There are more than 500 puzzles to solve and dozens of locations to explore on the island. The game, which took seven years to complete, has been well-received on other platforms both for the gameplay balance and art style.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.macrumors.com\/article-new\/2017\/09\/thewitness-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-590896\"\/><br \/>Our sister site <em>TouchArcade<\/em> has been eagerly awaiting the launch of The Witness <a href=\"http:\/\/toucharcade.com\/2011\/08\/12\/braid-creators-next-game-might-hit-ios\/\">since 2011<\/a>, when we heard the first hints that the game might eventually be released on iOS devices. <em>TouchArcade<\/em> has <a href=\"http:\/\/toucharcade.com\/2016\/08\/23\/the-witness-for-ios-is-still-happening\/\">followed its progress<\/a> since then, and <a href=\"http:\/\/toucharcade.com\/2017\/09\/20\/the-witness-just-hit-the-app-store-for-9-99\/\">shared the news<\/a> of its launch tonight.<\/p>\n<p>The Witness is priced at $9.99 in the App Store, which is cheaper than the price from Steam or on consoles.
