Sony gave some stage time to indies at its presentation tonight, starting with Jonathan Blow to show off The Witness. He said that during the release window, the PlayStation 4 will be the only console--implying that it will be on PC too, and eventually other consoles.

Blow said that the open-world puzzle game is "as compact as possible," to make a dense world. He noted that "everything is carefully placed" and the team worked "very, very hard to cut anything that was redundant." He promised 25 hours of gameplay with "no filler."

      Looking forward to this one. Liked the presentation and trailer, and at least know that the designer puts his heart into his games (or at least really did with Braid).

      Well, I really hope that PC is included, as I've been very looking forward to playing this since it was first announced. Wouldn't expect a console exclusive, since the pensive-puzzle prototype has such deep roots in PC gaming, and I assume that's where its core audience would still be. It's artistically very finesse, looks great.

        He said the PS4 will be the only console it is on during the launch window. I wouldn't worry too much about it being on the PC.

      Funny that the graphic below the video is from the old Infocom game "The Witness". Wow it's been a long time since I played that one...
