I've gotta be honest. I have no idea who Jonathan Blow is. I checked the Steam Store page and it seems .. to be not my thing. That said, I recently found, bought and played 'Pony Island' (if you don't know what that is: Do NOT watch videos. Think '6th Sense' - you'll ruin the game). That wouldn't have caught my eye based on random videos/screenshots either and it's right now my 'best game ever'. Can someone explain why 'The Witness' is interesting? Why would it trend here? What's the relation between HN and Jonathan or this game?

If it's truly not your thing, then you won't understand why it's interesting. If it is your thing, then it's very, very, very interesting. ROT13'd probably-spoiler-free-but-maybe-contains-tiny-spoilers overview of what makes the game good follows: Gur Jvgarff vf n chmmyr tnzr.
