About
He Who Watches is an atmospheric first-person puzzle game that tasks you with navigating a seemingly impossible structure. Grapple with spatial reasoning and shifts in perspective to solve mind-bending puzzle chambers in a mysterious puzzle-platformer where every surface is a possible pathway.
Your bow is not a weapon, but a puzzle-solving tool used to manipulate your environment. Together with a single, magical arrow, you can open doors, move blocks, activate switches, and pull yourself across gaps with its magical chain.
Walk on walls. Walk on ceilings. Shift gravity as you slip between these planes, creating chain reactions to find the correct path forward. Patience and persistence are key to unlocking each solution.
What lies at the heart of this ancient labyrinth? How vast is this enigmatic structure? He Who Watches is full of secret paths, hidden mechanics, and cryptic symbols that invite you to look closer. Seek the imprisoned god at the centre. He is waiting.

Very cool puzzle game. Love their hint system: the game has you solve a mini version of the puzzle
Great. Also great hint system.
I'm only an hour in and I can already tell that this is a generational masterpiece. It feels like a cross between a well-crafted Sokoban game and Portal. Fantastic visuals, presentation, and extremely clever puzzles make this a must-play for puzzle game enjoyers.

惊艳的3D类推箱,将少数几种机制互相结合,挖掘到了深刻的层次,完成度很高。主线流程之外还有多层隐藏内容,对解谜玩家非常推荐
Early impressions: Really cool 3d sokoban puzzles, great presentation, solid challenge level, excellent hint system. Hell yeah.
Very fun. Figuring out solution, that requires to abandon real world logic, is really rewarding.
A solid set of mechanics that are explored in 100+ levels. The hint levels provided some relief on puzzles that took too long. The late game secret hunt was a fun quest that made this a great puzzle game.
(Thumbs up for support, I'll write a full review later but for now i can say that i definitely do recommend)
Great puzzler. You don't get much first-person stuff, but this uses it to perfect effect. A very small number of building blocks that combine into a rather high number of mechanical interactions (like Stephen's Sausage Roll, or Can of Wormholes). Looks gorgeous too, with its styled motifs (especially eyes) present everywhere. Though a minor complaint about that, at a certain progression point a few new features are added to the walls everywhere, which I think makes things look messier. Wish there were a way to undo that. Of course, we all know that nowadays having good puzzles isn't enough for your average puzzle game fan — you need some sort of metapuzzle stuff, maybe a metroidbrania-style mechanic where once you've learned it you can use it all over the place. I'm pleased to report that He Who Watches has what we crave in this. Overall, very good puzzle game. Clearly a lot of work went into setting the mood of the game, and it pays off well. Getting 100% will be a real pain, but I suppose that's a good thing.
4/4: These mind-bending puzzles are a masterclass in creative design.
