<p>We&#8217;ve been trying to figure out what the final two games of the Apple indie games promotion would be. We figured <em>Card Thief</em> was coming sometime (<a href="http://ift.tt/2mHJUuX">and the developer has been all but saying the release date in the forum thread</a>), but what that final game would be. Well, there&#8217;s suspicion that the final game is <em>The Witness</em> by Jonathan Blow. Apple tweeted out a video that includes all the icons of games part of the series, and some other indie classics. But there&#8217;s two particularly unknown icons in particular. One looks a lot like a character from <em>Card Thief</em>. Another shows a weird grid-based puzzle. Here&#8217;s the video:</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s the screenshot. The alleged <em>Card Thief</em> icon is 5 over, 3 down. The other mysterious icon is 5 down, 3 over:</p>

<p>That sure looks a lot <a href="http://ift.tt/2mHIhxD">like a puzzle from <em>The Witness</em></a>. And remember that <a href="http://ift.tt/2n2nc3x"><em>The Witness</em> is already on Google Play</a>, so it&#8217;s not like a lot of work for a mobile port hasn&#8217;t been done already. Hmm! If it is the March 19th indie release that will show up on the night of March 18th, we&#8217;ll be sure to update!</p>
<p><em>Thanks to the folks in our <a href="http://ift.tt/2jVxtxi">Discord server</a> who pointed this out!</em></p>
