- The Witness was once an entire species
- They discovered the Traveler buried on their home planet.
- The Traveler uplifted their civilization and basically they got bored and needed purpose.
- This led them to seek out The Veil. They built the pyramid ships to search for the Veil.
- The Veil is the Darkness equivalent of the Traveler. Not the pyramid ships.
- The Witness saw the light as a chaotic force to be tamed and tried to use the darkness/Veil to tame it and create the final shape.
- Traveler said nope and began running.
- The Witness’ race mass suicided and used the Darkness to combine their consciousness into what we know as The Witness.
- All the crumbling statues around the pyramids are the remains of its species.
Some pretty dark stuff with the origins of the Witness. I don’t think it’s quite clear what the final shape is yet.

Absolutely wild realizing what all those chopped-up-ppl statues in the pyramids are, and what the pyramids are.

Sorry for responding late, finally got a chance to play this week. Love the cutscene, the whole dynamic of the Witness being this unified obsession. A collection of thoughts that are hell bent to force their ideas onto the physical plane of the universe. All cause they are certain that all existence will end up suffering like them in the end… Great story ☺️
