About Disciples of The Talos Principle: Community Game Giveaway

Instead of sharing what press has to say about our freshly released Public Test, we decided to post collection of top ten quotes from you, true gamers, and show the world what players have to say about The Talos Principle!

“Like Portal? Or Antichamber, or The Swapper or other Puzzle-Games like those? If your answer is yes, then you must try this. Thank me later.”

“Wow, this game is surprisingly fun. Challenging puzzles, beautiful atmosphere, hidden stars, hidden door at the end. This test was a blast. Do yourself a favor and get it now, I had a great 2 hour experience.”

“This game could win Puzzle GOTY easily.”

“Not only does the story seem interesting, the game looks beautiful, sounds beautiful, the puzzles are are fun and most important of all the game runs great!”

“This was probably the most breathtaking game I have ever played. And it was just the demo. If your PC can run it, Play it. Now.”

“This is why I still have faith in the gaming industry. Definitely a must buy!”

“It involves castles and laser beams. BUY NOW! it also has a picture of an Android holding a kitten. SOLD.”

“PORTAL 3!”

“Great puzzle game! I loved being dropped into an open world where there is no tutorial and I just had to figure things out.”

“So far this game is extremely impressive and beautiful! I can see it being a big hit once full released.”

And here are three more honorable mentions!

“I never expected a game to be so clever on so many levels.”

“The public test is a good glimpse into what the entire game could hold.”

“Finally, a game I really look forward to seeing released. Philosophical questions plus awesome puzzles, and also collectables. Couldn’t ask for more.”

In case you are still wondering should you try the Public Test for yourself, we’ll take the liberty of repeating quote nr. 2 – Do yourself a favor and get it now!

Disciples of The Talos Principle – rejoice – we are truly living in exciting times!

We have more exciting news for you – now that the release date is set, and you can preorder our game, we’d like you to personally test Talos and see what’s all the fuss about. Our public test will be released on Nov 6th and is meant to serve as additional stress and compatibility testing before The Talos Principle launches later this year. Watch this space for updates.

Meet Bot. Really, we call him Bot. Nothing too innovative here, just – Bot. As simple as that.

Bot works very hard. When other Croteamers go to sleep, Bot is still in the office, making sure game runs smoothly and that it can be finished. Bot is also first one to notice if we introduced any bugs to our latest build. He will not hesitate to point to us our mistakes. He’ll even write it down directly into our bug reporting software. And since he is very professional, if he thinks problem requires special attention, he’ll even attach a screenshot!

Since his work is truly remarkable, we asked him if he wants a raise but he told us he’s fine. His biggest reward, in his words, is seeing The Talos Principle running smoothly and glitch-free!
