The Talos Principle is an upcoming first person[3][4] puzzle video game with a philosophical storyline,[5][6][7] created by Croatian developer Croteam,[6][8] who is best known for their Serious Sam video game series.[8][5] It is slated for simultaneous release on Linux, OS X and Windows on 11 December 2014,[6][9] and on PlayStation 4 and Android platforms in Q1 of 2015.[9][6]
Gameplay
The Talos Principle is a narrative-based experience[2] that features more than 120 puzzles.[10][11] The game puts the player in the body of a robot with a seemingly human consciousness.[12] The player solves puzzles using various gadgets scattered around the environment,[1] including drones, turrets, and the "replication of time",[8] electromagnetic jammers, crystalline refractors, fans and computer terminals.[12] The environment interlocks greenery and stone of a ruined castle with futuristic technology.[4]
Development
The story was written by Tom Jubert (The Swapper, FTL) and Jonas Kyratzes.[6][13] The game underwent roughly 15,000 hours of playtesting at the hands of a bot.[11]
Marketing
The Talos Principle was shown in Sony's E3 2014 presentation,[8] after which Time featured the game as one of its "favorite hidden gems from 2014's show".[5] Before the game's release, Croteam published a free game demo for Linux, OS X and Windows on Steam, that featured four increasingly difficult complete puzzle levels as well as a benchmarking bot.[9][11][7][14] Croteam also released a free teaser minigame for The Talos Principle called Sigils of Elohim,[15][16] that offers sets of one puzzle type that's found throughout The Talos Principle.[14][17][18]
