* HundredPercentCompletion: Averted. For neither the White nor the Black ending do you need to solve every puzzle on the island, and you also don't get an indicator anywhere of how many puzzles you've completed compared to the total. Furthermore, some puzzles are completely optional for progression and only serve to teach you the game's mechanics.

!!''Taiji'' provides examples of these tropes:
* AllTheWorldsAreAStage: The gallery and the end are both areas that require you to know the puzzle mechanics decently well.
* ApocalypseHow: Why is the floating island barren? Why are there puzzles everywhere? Is there a meaning to it all?
** In the "Black" ending, [[spoiler: you get to do this to the world.]]
* ApprovalOfGod: The developer of VideoGame/''TheWitness'', Jonathan Blow, has playtested this game, and approved of it.
* BeautifulVoid: There is close to no context given about the island, but someone clearly cared about decorating it well.
* GoldenEnding: The "White" ending, which - trust us, you want to figure this out on your own! - requires looking for clues in the environment.
* GuideDangIt: If you don't notice and interpret [[spoiler: the notches in the sides of the pillars]] correctly, you might struggle a lot with the ruins area. Even then, a lot of the puzzles there have an ambiguous interpretation.
* HiddenInPlainSight: Some puzzle clues are part of the environment. Even better, you might not even realize they're clues until much later in the game.
* HundredPercentCompletion: Averted. For neither the White nor the Black ending do you need to solve every puzzle on the island, and you also don't get an indicator anywhere of how many puzzles you've completed compared to the total. Furthermore, some puzzles are completely optional for progression and only serve to teach you the game's mechanics.
* NoOSHACompliance: The sawmill has some broken pathways. Thankfully, you can't fall off them.
