This is made trickier by the game's setting: you are alone on this island, and there are not even any other animals. Instead, we put a great deal of care into the sounds of the world around you, in a way that maximizes immersion in the game. It'd be like a layer of insulation that you have to hear through in order to be more present in the world. If we slather on a layer of music that is just arbitrarily playing, and not really coming from the world, then we're adding a layer of stuff that works against the game. The Witness is a game about being perceptive: noticing subtleties in the puzzles you find, noticing details in the world around you. This is not an arbitrary decision, but is in fact very important to the coherence of the thing we are making. The answer to this question is that there isn't one. Each coach has only one steal throughout the battles, as opposed to two on the previous season.Once in a while I get a question, from someone who really liked the music in Braid, what the soundtrack in The Witness is like. The defeated battle participants could be taken over by the other coaches via "Steal Deal". The respective coach selected a participant of each battle directly into the next phase. After the rehearsals of each group of three, only two of the three candidates were usually admitted to the battle duels, the third was eliminated. Seven battles took place in Sarah Connor's 21-candidate group, and six battles each in the other three groups of 18 participants. Unlike in previous seasons, each coach initially divided his participants into groups of three. Sarah Connor participated in the recordings via video link after testing positive for the coronavirus. The battle rounds were recorded from Septemto Septemin Berlin and will broadcast from Novemuntil November 21, 2021, being broadcast like the blind auditions every Thursday on ProSieben and every Sunday on Sat.1.
