This is a fun parody but just in case you’re being earnest - that’s completely missing the point. Similar to saying “if you want more of $RPG just open a spreadsheet and slowly make arbitrary numbers go up”.

You snark, sir, but can I also find artistry and meaning equal to The Witness on the back of a cereal box?

  I'm not sure Jonathan Blow, visionary video game developer and appearer in many documentaries on the video game industry, would appreciate my answer. But in my view: yes. Especially Rice Krispies.

If you're actually looking for more of The Witness, there's - Taiji, which is a very The Witness-inspired 2D exploration/puzzle game https://store.steampowered.com/app/1141580/Taiji/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1141580/Taiji/ - Fidel Rescue Dungeon (which I only just learned of and haven't yet played), which is The Witness puzzles, but dressed up as a roguelike https://store.steampowered.com/app/573170/Fidel_Dungeon_Rescue/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/573170/Fidel_Dungeon_Resc...

_Really_? I'm not one to defend Jonathan Blow The Personality (TM), but the game masterfully weaves the puzzle aspects into the adventuring aspects of the game, and encourages you to expand your perspective throughout. The sort of experience I had playing that game made me wish more games were like that (Fez being another notable example).
