The Talos Principle has been out for 4 days and it’s doing great, seems you really love the game and fresh things it brings to the puzzle genre. Thank you for your support, we really appreciate it!

We’d also like to extend our thanks to our fellow developers, who also seem to be enjoying the game. Here are few honorable tweets from someone you might know 😉
 

Compiler is up to 12,122 lines. Did not work on it much today, played The Talos Principle instead, mostly.

Finished The Talos Principle, and I award this piece of fleeting entertainment five points out of five. Also it changed me.
