The Looker

You wake alone on a strange island and explore its locations through a first-person view. The game parodies the line-puzzle style of The Witness, while adding absurd humor and references to the genre.

Many puzzles ask you to draw a line from START to END. You work out routes around obstacles and experiment with each board’s rules as you move through the island.

Solving puzzles opens access to more areas and challenges. The experience also includes environmental puzzles and a score-based minigame, and is designed as a short, single-player game.

Players often enjoy the game’s humorous parody and the way it pairs jokes with playable puzzles rather than relying on jokes alone. Reviews also praise the puzzles as clever or varied and appreciate the short, brisk experience. Familiarity with The Witness helps some players catch more references, though others say the game is enjoyable without it.
