Description

About the Game

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?

In an evolving story based on mankind’s instinctual need to explore, protect and survive, you’ll delve deeper into Europa’s ice crusted-core and discover that the lines between man and machine begin to blur. Armed with the Energy Manipulation Tool (EMT), solve puzzles to open the way forward as you learn the true cost of human morality.

Key Features:
  • Harness the ability to transfer power between machines using your ‘Energy Manipulation Tool’ providing a unique twist on gameplay mechanics and puzzle logic.
  • Learn the significance of player control as you switch between multiple perspectives to solve The Turing Test’s most challenging puzzles.
  • Discover a story with multiple layers of depth and conspiracy; challenging concepts of human morality and giving freedom to players to form theories about the fate of ISA's crew members.

The Turing Test is a fun puzzle game. It is basically Portal without the portals and humor. I enjoyed solving the puzzles and I liked the space theme. If you like puzzle games, you should try this game.

I enjoyed the story and the soundtrack. Some puzzles were challenging and creative but most felt uninteresting. Overall I found the whole game quite boring. Probably because of the Portal like test chamber setting. I

Really good first-person puzzle game, if you enjoyed Portal, The Talos Principle, or Quantum Conundrum. Compared to those it is linear (Talos Principle isn't), has mild physics elements (Quantum Conundrum was heavily

An excellent puzzle game with an equally excellent story. It's on a similar level to SOMA with the ethical questions it poses and forces you to think about, but does it in a way that is not overwhelming. It also has by

Interesting qualifications required to pass The Turing Test... Good puzzle solving game. General philosophical discussions. But if you enjoy these types of games, I highly recommend The Talos Principle I and II.

I purchased The Turing Test after having had such a good time with puzzle games such as Talos, The Witness and the 2 Portal games. Turing seemed to be right up my street. And it was... kinda... The gameplay is smooth,
