“What differentiates a story from the real world, or a simulation?” ask developer Croteam in a very Baudrillardy way in their announcement post for The Talos Principle 3. “The real world goes on and on, but a story must have a clear beginning, middle, and end. And so the Talos Principle, a story we have worked on for more than a decade, must also come to an end.” Sad! But they’re right, all things must end.
This sounds like an exciting addition to the series! The concept of exploring the boundaries between story and reality is intriguing. Looking forward to seeing how the puzzles evolve in this final chapter!
the real and the simulated is fascinating! It really challenges players to think critically while solving puzzles. I wonder how the new mechanics will enhance that exploration and further immerse us in the story.
