The Talos Principle’s austere but effective visual presentation leads to an experience that is something akin to wandering the Garden of Eden as designed by William Gibson, the father of cyberpunk. The contrast between the natural, majestic beauty of the grassy stonehenges and the assorted futuristic machinery that occasionally litters the landscape is stunning, and goes a long way in establishing a bizarre yet enticing sense of place.
Throughout your adventure, you are addressed by a disembodied voice calling itself Elohim. You don’t have to be a theologian to know the implications behind the name; hearing it in all its deep, kind, booming splendor fills in all the blanks for you. Additionally, the music somehow fits all of these seemingly disparate themes; synth and bells perfectly capture The Talos Principle's heady consciousness/ religion/ technology slant.
