Croteam has released a PC demo for The Talos Principle 2 on Steam, the studio’s upcoming puzzle game.

A sequel with an expanded scope

The Talos Principle is set in the distant future, long after the extinction of humanity. In this future, humanoid robots remain, carrying forward mankind’s cultural legacy. Players will seek to solve the mysteries of the world, uncover humanity’s mistakes, and set a new path towards the future.

The primary gameplay loop of The Talos Principle is puzzle solving, and its sequel expands on this with new abilities that includes gravity manipulation, and mind transference. The game’s story is also expanded, with The Talos Principle 2 featuring multiple endings that reflect player choices.

Born into a new world where biological humanity is extinct but human culture lives on in a city of robots, you find yourself swept up in a mind-bending adventure involving a mysterious megastructure hiding enormous powers.

The more you discover, the more you will be confronted with questions about the nature of the cosmos and the purpose of civilization. The broken promise of a better tomorrow, the fear of repeating humankind’s mistakes, faith in reason or renouncing humanity altogether – the choices you make and the sides you take will determine the course of events.
