By Keylol Player Club April 26, 2016

“不知为什么，玩《塔罗斯的法则》的时候总会感觉头皮发麻，非常的孤寂，但和普通的孤寂不一样... 这种代入感，是只有探索未知时的恐惧和愤怒。但这也算是一种体验，其场景设计宏伟，内容充满疑团和哲思，也正因如此，更能让我体会到人性脆弱的地方。”

About This Game



As if awakening from a deep sleep, you find yourself in a strange, contradictory world of ancient ruins and advanced technology. Tasked by your creator with solving a series of increasingly complex puzzles, you must decide whether to have faith or to ask the difficult questions: Who are you? What is your purpose? And what are you going to do about it?

Features:

  • Overcome more than 120 immersive puzzles in a stunning world.
  • Divert drones, manipulate laser beams and even replicate time to prove your worth - or to find a way out.
  • Explore a story about humanity, technology and civilization. Uncover clues, devise theories, and make up your own mind.
  • Choose your own path through the game's non-linear world, solving puzzles your way.
  • But remember: choices have consequences and somebody's always watching you.
