The Talos Principle (VR)

Released: 10/17/2017

The Talos Principle VR is a virtual reality version of Croteam's critically acclaimed first-person puzzle game in the tradition of philosophical science fiction. As if awakening from a deep sleep, you find yourself in a strange, contradictory world of ancient ruins and advanced technology. Tasked by your creator with solving a series of increasingly complex puzzles, you must decide whether to have faith, or to ask the difficult questions: Who are you? What is your purpose? And what are you going to do about it? FEATURES: Road to Gehenna included - explore a brand new narrative through four episodes that will challenge you with some of the most advanced puzzles in The Talos Principle. True locomotion support - teleport, instant teleport, blink teleport, classic full locomotion (with or without comfort mode). Explore the game's non-linear world, solving puzzles your way. Go with the safe built-in teleportation system or tweak and adjust the way you jump through the VR space to best suit your playing style. Use your hands to divert drones, manipulate laser beams and even replicate time to prove your worth - or to find a way out. Roomscale support - Explore the game world as if you were actually there! (But mind your real furniture) Overcome numerous puzzles in an immersive and stunning VR world. Explore a story about humanity, technology and civilization. Uncover clues, devise theories, and make up your own mind. Choose your own path through the game's non-linear world, solving puzzles your way.
