About The Talos Principle
The Talos Principle places you in a strange world of ancient ruins and advanced technology, where you awaken as if from a deep sleep. Your creator sets you a series of increasingly complex puzzles to solve. As you explore, you must decide whether to have faith or ask who you are, what your purpose is and what to do about it.
Solve the puzzles
You face more than 120 puzzles. Divert drones, manipulate laser beams and replicate time as you prove your worth or search for a way out. The non-linear world lets you choose your path and solve puzzles your way.
A story of choices
Explore questions about humanity, technology and civilization by uncovering clues and forming your own theories. You decide what to make of them, but your choices have consequences, and somebody is always watching you.
