Official Braid Walkthrough Says “Do Not Use a Walkthrough”

The quirky, time-bending platformer, Braid, was released on the XBLA yesterday, and it’s already been driving many a gamer to fits of insanity with some of its truly mind-wrenching puzzles. So you may be happy to learn that the developers have been kind enough to put together an official walkthrough for the game. Okay, first, breathe a sigh of relief…alright, now wait for it…I can summarize the whole walkthrough in a single word: “Psyche!” Oh yes, it starts out so promising with step-by-step details on how to go through the game’s introductory world, but the next page pretty much tells you that the game “is about the journey, not the destination” and warns you not to “spoiler” yourself. Other than saying that some puzzles may take an hour or two to figure out, the “walkthrough” doesn’t really offer any help on the game.

I suppose I should’ve expected such a devilish to come from the guys behind such a fiendish game. Seriously though, give Braid a try. I can almost guarantee it will be one of the more unique games you’ll have played in awhile.
