The Turing Test

First person sci-fi puzzle game with a strong narrative.

The Turing Test is a challenging first-person puzzle game set on Jupiter’s moon, Europa. You are Ava Turing, an engineer for the International Space Agency (ISA) sent to discover the cause behind the disappearance of the ground crew stationed there.

Upon arrival a series of puzzles awaits you – tests which, according to the station’s AI, Tom, can only be solved by a human. These puzzles have apparently been set by the missing ground crew – but why have they created them and what are they hiding from?

Looks interesting. Comes out this week

When I saw “The Turing Test” in the thread title I immediately thought of the other “Turing Test,” which is a way of determining AI. The game looks interesting. I would hope it is more than just a play on words, and the puzzles relate to Alan Turing’s original thinking on the subject.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the trailer intro looks more like something out of a really good Doom remake than an adventure game.

Well that story is utter trash.
It started really good but nothing close to modern walking simulators exploring new grounds.

Random indies on steam are full of unknown gems.
This is too mix of portal and Stanley parable.

We should rather make a thread of random indie steam releases that get lost in saturated market.

It’s more like Portal, I don’t think it has combat.
Connections to the orinigal Turing test, it looks like it will play into it with lines “Test only a Human can solve” and some articles:

Sure, there’s a lot of indies being released but stuff that is good sometimes is hard to find on Steam, I try to make for what I think looks interesting.

Played for about 2 hours.
It is really like Portal where you go between rooms solving puzzles (simple so far). Instead of GLados you have a creppy AI voice that sounds a lot like Jeremy Irons.

That’s an awesome voice to listen to, then. ALMOST as good as the late Alan Rickman was…
