Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionThe Witness appears to be abandoned in terms of Apple Silicon optimization. The game was last updated to version 1.0.11 several years ago, and developer Thekla Inc. has not released any updates to add native Apple Silicon support. While the game may still run under Rosetta 2, you should consider looking into alternative puzzle games that offer native Apple Silicon performance, or be prepared that this game may not work once Rosetta 2 support ends. Given the specialized nature of The Witness's unique puzzle mechanics, there isn't a direct equivalent, but you might enjoy other thoughtful puzzle games available natively on Apple Silicon.
