Welcome to The Talos Principle Wiki!
The comprehensive Talos Principle wiki reference; written and maintained by the players.

The Game

The Talos Principle is a philosophical first-person puzzle game from Croteam, the creators of the Serious Sam series, and written by Tom Jubert (FTL, The Swapper) and Jonas Kyratzes (Infinite Ocean). Players are tasked with solving a series of increasingly complex Puzzles woven into a metaphysical parable about intelligence and meaning in an inevitably doomed world.

Complex Conundrums: Overcome more than 120 immersive puzzles through the eyes of an advanced Artificial Intelligence construct and unveil your significance at the behest of your creators.

Anachronistic Juxtaposition: Deploy Sophisticated Technology furnished by the creators to unravel each predicament entombed within digital recreations of humanity’s ruins. Divert Drones, disable Turrets, and even Replicate Time to prove your worth beneath an ancient sky.

Croteam Technology: The Talos Principle is built on Croteam’s Serious Engine 4 technology, the next advancement in the engine behind the Serious Sam series, and a new proprietary method to scan real world locations and historical elements into the game world.
