The Talos Priniciple Public Test Released

After revealing the release date for The Talos Principle just a couple of days ago, Croteam has now released a public test on Steam. The public test is of course free and contains four complete levels.

The full announcement on Steam:

QuoteSurprise, surprise. We have more exciting Words for you – now that the release date is set, and you can pre-order our game, we’d like you to personally taste and test Talos and check 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. But it will also give you good taste of the game itself!

This sounds like a great way for us to check if our gaming rigs are up to the task before putting down our hard earned money for the full game. It also enables the developer to get valuable feedback and is of course a good way to promote their upcoming game before the release next month.

In my previous article about the game I failed to mention that there's an additional 5% off the price for pre-ordering if you already own either Antichamber, The Swapper or Serious Sam 3: BFE on Steam:

QuotePre-order The Talos Principle to receive 10% off the purchase price and a free download of Croteam's Serious Sam 3: BFE that may be gifted if already owned. Users that already own Antichamber, The Swapper, or Serious Sam 3: BFE receive an additional 5% discount.

About the Public Test

The Public Test for The Talos Principle consists of four increasingly difficult complete puzzle levels, where players will be able to test the range of puzzle mechanics, as well as run a benchmarking AI bot for their personal PC.

The Public Test is meant to serve as additional stress and compatibility testing before The Talos Principle launches later this year and is now available on Steam for a limited time prior to the game's release.
