Steam Weekend Sale is behind us and what can we say – it was quite successful! We want to thank you all for your support, and the best way to do that is by releasing two new wallpapers created by our favorite artist Tom J Manning.
The wallpapers are available for free download, click on the photos below.
More reviews are coming in for our brand new release The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna and there are nothing but positive.
PC Gamer
“There are very few games this philosophically ambitious, and fewer that match that quality with equally intelligent game design. If you’ve not experienced it for yourself yet, go and play The Talos Principle. If you have, and you don’t feel like your brain has been stretched as far as it can go, then Road to Gehenna is a worthy next step.”

Biogamer Girl
“With The Talos Principle: Road To Gehenna, we now get a fully-fledged expansion that wants to continue the epic story behind the original game.”

Game Watcher
“It also doesn’t hurt that like the main game itself, Road to Gehenna looks breathtakingly gorgeous. With top-tier texture work, buttery smooth animation and the sort of hyper-detailed environments that really set it apart from its peers, it’s fair to say that much like The Talos Principle before it, Road to Gehenna is one of the most visually arresting titles available right now.”

The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna is out on Steam for only 2 days but there are plenty of positive reviews coming in. One of which you should definitely check out is Ian Hincks opinion piece regarding our brand new release. He says that Road to Gehenna “has a really cool story” and that you “need to think outside the box” to solve the challenging puzzles.
We think that you need to get yourself a copy of this DLC and see if you agree with his opinion!

Both The Talos Principle and the expansion Road to Gehenna made it to Steam’s top ten list! We couldn’t be more proud, and we thank you for your support! It’s seems media and press love Gehenna as well, here are few reviews that popped up straight after release.
Rock Paper Shotgun
“This is really superb. Wonderful new puzzles, not over-complicating or trying to be a level of impossible above what came before, but still offering new challenges and new scope for the same tools. And a whole new story that lives within Talos’s original, but is communicated entirely through community discussion, and feels extremely reactive to the dialogue choices you make. It’s everything you could want an expansion to be.”
John Walker, Rock Paper Shotgun

PC World
“This is Croteam taking all its tools and making the craziest, most elaborate puzzles it can think of, and that’s something few puzzle games get (or are allowed) to do for fear of losing the audience. There’s true craftsmanship on display in Road to Gehenna.”
Hayden Dingman, PC World
Pixel Dynamo
“…Road to Gehenna is a worthy expansion to The Talos Principle that only adds good things to the game.”
Melissa Vach, Pixel Dynamo

GameCloud
“Road to Gehenna is an expansion that stands squarely upon the shoulders of its predecessor, but at the same time surpasses it.”

The long-awaited expansion to our critically acclaimed The Talos Principle hit the ‘shelves’ today (if that’s the expression still used these days?). Road to Gehenna puts you in the shoes of Uriel, Elohim’s most beloved messenger, tasked with a mission to enter Gehenna and free souls trapped in this mysterious place. Tom Jubert and Jonas Kyratzes once again return as screenwriting duo, keen to show players an entirely different side of Elohim’s world through a journey to Gehenna, hidden part of simulation filled with new characters and a new society with its own history and philosophy.
Road to Gehenna is available on Steam for 10% off the standard price during the first week of launch. To sweeten things up, The Talos Principle is the featured Steam Weekend Deal till 27th with a 66% off discount, which makes this a perfect combo for hot summer days! 😉
Enjoy discovering wonders of Gehenna, and may the words be with you!
The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna, a 4 episode expansion of our award-winning-first-person-puzzler The Talos Principle, will be released tomorrow on Steam for PC, Mac and Linux!
Immerse yourself into the magic of the Gehenna world and be prepared to challenge your mind with groundbreaking puzzles that will shake you to the bone.
The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna awaits for you.
The question is: Are you ready?

The Talos Principle writers Tom Jubert and Jonas Kyratzes have returned to pen the expansion and show players an entirely different side of Elohim’s world through a journey to Gehenna filled with new characters and a new society with its own history and philosophy.

Davor Hunski, Croteam CCO, held a lecture at this year’s World Festival of Animated Film.
Hunski spoke about history of video games, presented Croteam’ s work and gave a short overview of main steps in creating a great video game. He was joined by the representative of newly founded Croatian Game Developers Association (CGDA), Ante Vrdelja and founder of the first educational game center Machina, Lovro Nola. They all agreed that it takes hard work and a lot of effort to create a successful video game but with talented people and a bit of patience everything is possible. And it is worth it!
This was the third year now that Animafest presented us with the creative world of video games and is continuously working on their’s affirmation. Hopefully this collaboration will continue for more years to come.
