Beyond Gehenna: A Brand New Chapter – “In the Beginning”
This definitive edition doesn’t just look better; it offers more. Included is the fan-favorite expansion, Road to Gehenna.

This fresh addition delves into the origins of the Simulation, exploring the story of Alexandra Drennan as she orchestrates its first critical test.
Prepare to face profound existential questions and gain new layers of understanding about the game’s rich philosophical narrative.
A Philosophical Puzzle Masterpiece Revisited
At its core, The Talos Principle remains a masterclass in puzzle design interwoven with deep philosophical exploration.
You’ll solve increasingly complex environmental puzzles using lasers, force fields, drones, and more, all while uncovering texts and dialogues that question the nature of consciousness, humanity, and existence itself.
