I&#x27;ve gotta be honest. I have no idea who Jonathan Blow is. I checked the Steam Store page and it seems .. to be not my thing.<p>That said, I recently found, bought and played &#x27;Pony Island&#x27; (if you don&#x27;t know what that is: Do NOT watch videos. Think &#x27;6th Sense&#x27; - you&#x27;ll ruin the game). That wouldn&#x27;t have caught my eye based on random videos&#x2F;screenshots either and it&#x27;s right now my &#x27;best game ever&#x27;.<p>Can someone explain why &#x27;The Witness&#x27; is interesting? Why would it trend here? What&#x27;s the relation between HN and Jonathan or this game?
