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.

Could be up there with Portal, The Witness, and The Talos Principle. Only time will tell. Great stuff, keeps you humble. If you love first-person puzzle games, don't sleep on this one.
Very neat puzzles, difficulty's bit off, that's alright, but the game still struggles to get 144fps on highest setting (avg 80fps). Even with a really beefy rig, it runs my computer super hot, it actually warms my room up like crazy, and my fans are going turbo jet engine mode, really disappointed that the performance has not improved since the demo :(

An impressively innovative and well-designed entry in the hall of modern sokoban-ish games. This one makes you think in 3D much more than most - if you like the sound of that then you'll probably really like it. I certainly enjoyed getting my brain twisted in exciting new ways. Can of Wormholes' excellent 'Gain Insight' hint system is present and correct, and a welcome addition that allows the puzzles to be genuinely difficult in many cases without presenting a brick wall. Recommended!
ジャンプはできない。段差を降りることもできない。 できるのは、壁や天井を伝って歩くこと。ブロックを動かすこと。そして、重力の向きを変えること。 操作は至ってシンプル。プレイヤーはマス目に沿って動き、前後左右どこかに矢を打ち込むだけ。 立ち位置を微調整したり、最適な角度を探す必要はない。 ……しかし、パズルは簡単ではない。 100以上のステージがある本作では、1ステージごとに1つのアイデアが要求される。他のステージで使った解法の流用はできない。単純なルールの中で常に新たなひらめきを求められるのは非常につらいが、解けたときの爽快感も毎回新鮮だ。 そして何よりおもしろいのが、解法は至ってシンプルだということ。 答えを見つけるまでは何十分、いや何時間もかけて頭を抱えることもしばしばあるが、一度ひらめけば30秒もかからずクリアできるステージがほとんどだ。つまり文字通り『ひらめき勝負』なのがこのパズルゲームと言えよう。 そうやってパズルを解いていくうちに、あなたは気づくだろう。 パズルが準備されているのはステージ内だけではないということに……
a great puzzle game, with some really high quality levels so far! i've been routinely getting stumped on the last few levels in the areas i visited so far, so difficulty wise it's more challenging than i expected going into it one tiny nitpick is that i really don't like level names that describe the idea within the level, it feels weird to often be given a big hint just from a level name. quite a few level-based puzzle games do this and i've never really been a fan at one point it made a puzzle really trivial and now i'm just in the habit of closing my eyes at the start of every puzzle, which is admittedly really silly but i don't like hints ok
3 hours in and my brain is in complete knots, and I found some sort of teleportation mechanic but have no idea how to utilize it. This game is awesome.
One of those puzzle games that instantly feels like a classic of the genre
This game's sick. Super fun, super satisfying.
A very smart ,very polished fps sokoban puzzler. It can get pretty hard in some places, but there's usually optional puzzles to try in order to keep progressing. If you like tough spatial puzzles (think sausage roll but a bit easier) then you will probably like this!
This game had no business reminding me how dumb I am. 10/10 would recommend!
