About the Game
You wake up, alone, on a strange island full of puzzles that will challenge and surprise you.
You don't remember who you are, and you don't remember how you got here, but there's one thing you can do: explore the island in hope of discovering clues, regaining your memory, and somehow finding your way home.
The Witness is a single-player game in an open world with dozens of locations to explore and over 500 puzzles. This game respects you as an intelligent player and it treats your time as precious. There's no filler; each of those puzzles brings its own new idea into the mix. So, this is a game full of ideas.

This is the version that has been on 'future' for a while, with a few changes. 'default' and 'future' are now the same build of the game.
Full list of changes versus the current public version:
Windows only:
MacOS only:
What's not included in this patch is a fix for the flickering issues on some Intel GPUs on MacOS High Sierra. High Sierra introduced a bug in the Intel graphics driver, Apple are aware of it and we're working with them, but unfortunately we're at the mercy of their update release schedule. Obviously we'll post on the forums as soon as there's any news on that.

Changes:
* Switched default vsync mode to 0 on Nvidia and AMD now that their drivers seem to be fixed; this should eliminate microstutter for many people who had it.
* Fixed crackling audio that happened on some AMD processors.
* Added translations into many languages for the menu options added in the previous update.
* Increased frequency of automatic backup save games.
* Minor gameplay tweaks to several puzzles.
* Bugfix: Prevent the player from being able to fall off the boat in a particular location.
* Bugfix: Fix bug where boat path could become corrupt in save games.
* Bugfix: Prevent the player from outrunning the streaming.
* Bugfix: Several minor audio fixes.
* Bugfix: Several collision fixes.
* Bugfix: Many minor art fixes.
The fix for driver crashes on AMD R9 GPUs (and other models) has now been pushed to the default branch. Default and 'future' are currently the same now. If you don't like big patches, you can get off 'future' and back onto default, because the next patch on 'future' is likely to be another 1GB patch coming on Monday or Tuesday or so.
Here again are the changes:
We changed the depth format for shadow maps from D16 to D24, which seems to avoid a bug in the R9 drivers.
We also added some menu features people are asking for:
Added Invert X Axis to the options menu.
Added FOV slider to the options menu.
Added gamepad sensitivity to the options menu (if gamepad is plugged in).
