Curiously enough, it was none other than Apple that tipped us off that The Witness [$9.99] would be hitting the App Store super soon, and much as I speculated earlier today, "soon" means...

The Witness is a mysterious puzzle game set on a strange island, and a lot of people have compared it to a "modern day" Myst which, at least from watching trailers, seems like an apt description. I've been saving this game to play on my iPad, so, this will be my first time experiencing The Witness tonight. Check out the trailer from the PC/console release of the game:
