Not true. An architect most likely designed an open floor plan patio garden on the top of the stairs, but the was told by the buzz kill engineer that “it’s not structurally secure enough to comply with the minimum required safety standards and that not incorporating a bannister railing along the sides of the stairway leading up, would constitute several OSHA violations.” To which, the architect, already bored of listening to them, while simultaneously designing their next grand masterpiece in their head, heard at best, only the last 3 words of, if any…. Architect: “Hmmm, maybe my next design will prominently feature flying buttresses or perhaps even fluted columnar architecture; sort of a Neo-Gothic style…. Huh, what was that you were just telling engineer… something about several OSHA violations?”

The left in a maze thing isn't designed, it will always work (unless the maze has another entrance). But, it's not about always turning left, it's about keeping your left hand on the wall on your left. So with a dead end, you just walk down and come back out (or skip that walk and turn right). I imagine it works with your right hand.

@RCE, fun fact is that you can get through any maze by keeping either your left hand or your right hand (and then not changing hands after you start!) on the wall at all times and then walking forwards. Or the equivalent strategy when completing a maze on screen rather than physically walking it. Obviously it's not the fastest method, and involves you following any dead-ends along the way, but it is always guaranteed to work in the end! 😀

@@RadeticDaniel The hedge maze in The Looker has a loop back to the entrance so that neither left hand or right method works to find the center area of the maze. If the solution to the maze isn't to find an exit, but to reach a point within, it's easy to build walls that don't connect to the entrance.

Hedge mazes at every turn either left or right if you take that turn or if at a dead end you turn that direction too you will get through it, it is because if you drew a line throughout the whole perimeter of where you can walk, there should only be one continuous line from the left side of start back to the right side of start, this does only work if there is only one path to the end or centre, if islands are allowed then this method doesn’t work really maze won’t form a continuous line from start back to start as it will have breaks due to the islands.

He tried that, and the maze's solution is an island towards the back left. What you want in life is Tremaux's algorithm, and blocks of C4.

4:47 you had to move the knight first to threaten checkmate with the rook on the 7th rank and make the queen block, moving the other rook up first just gets it captured by the queen.

@@Varksterable you can start the left wall follower from any point in the maze. It works in all cases where all wall pieces are connected, ie no isolated islands of walls exist. This is because doing the left wall follower allows you to cover an entire connected section, therefore if a solution (exit) exists within that section you are guaranteed to find it.

10:00 - it’s basically referring to following one wall all the way. Like you read out with one hand and don’t stop touching it. Or alternatively hug the left wall until you reach a dead end, then hug the wall that was on your right when facing said dead end, then vice versa until you’re out.

@@Ulthuanelf Every single game without meta humor takes itself 100% seriously. Why does the witness specifically get bashed for it if not because people are touchy about including links to real life perspectives in a game about perspective? I remember nier automata got the same criticisms for daring to reference existing philosophies in a game whos whole theme is exploring them. Some people just can't stand having that stuff in games no matter how fitting it may be, but that's not the game's fault.

Always go left, or keep your hand on the left wall, or whatever is a classic maze technique that guarantees a solution (but not the best one) for mazes without loops. Even with loops it can work as long as the loop isn’t set up in a specific way that breaks this.

Id love a video masterclass on some equilibrium equations and truss analysis of the strongest shape, please and thank you from one engineer to another

The ponytail thing is a parody of Braid, a previous game by the guy who made the witness (and a far less annoying one).

When you walk into a maze and you keep turning left and then when there’s a dead end you back up and then you take the nearest left also works with right not just left

More games like this, really enjoyed this video.

“Just gotta wop wop” Me: oppa gamnam style

this ending is perfect, u wanted it all game, now you have it. Everybody's had to do it.

At 6:45 all I could think was "imposter!"

If you are in a maze, at the beginning put your right hand on the right wall/bush and walk without releasing your right hand from the right wall. You will always get to the end (taking time) but it's easy and it's proven.

Actually, my strat to mazes is always face the front so you know your direction and search everywhere, for exits opposite to the entrance, if you feel like not moving closer, turn back

in many mazes its always just, hug a wall and you simply reach every point of the maze including the exit

After dozens of videos I was watching, here is finally my subscription fr your excellent work :)

13:14 The "Ponytail" poster resembles the title screen of "Braid", another game by the same author as "The Witness".

"Mom, RCE is drawing naughty pictures again!"

"stupid architect" now I know you are a real civil engineer xD

"keep going left"... that works UNLESS the designer plans for it... it's kind of hard to explain, but part of it is to have the start or finish in the middle and the other at the edge, so the player would wind up back where he started.

At 4:30, if you do the move you wanted (rook to h8) first, the queen can just take the rook you moved and get out of the check that way. Moving the knight first forces the checkmate.

so did anyone else take notice of the kids menu? specifically the chocolate milk zero which is horrifying to think of, but also "pulled long pork wrap"? long pork is used to mean " human flesh"

As someone who uses a total station, I was not expecting it to show up in an RCE vid, although it looks more like an auto level tbh

the final puzzle is ordered by the number of corners on the shape ascending

Did nobody else notice that in the kids' menu, "pulled long pork" (long pork is what some island cannibals called human flesh) was one of the dishes offered? 😂

The hedge maze tells you the order to finish the last puzzle

Engineer: use white ink and draw straight line from start to end, then use black ink and draw straight line from start to end

7:02 masterpiece, pure art, it’s beautiful 🥲

If you move the rook first you actually end up not forcing checkmate. It might still be a good/winnable position, but checkmate is always better.

@magicstew45

Yeah the rook can be taken out, hence no checkmate. Can't expect a civil engineer to see moves in advance tho 😂

7:01 you such a great artist, you know that?? XD

So with mazes it's actually not something that they design. It's literally just logic. By following one wall, left or right, you will eventually find the exit. It wouldn't do well if it's timed but it's a sure way to find your way out.

This is a completely original game with no references to any other game. Thank you very much
