The Talos Principle Timeline | COMPLETE Talos Principle Story & Lore

The Talos Principle timeline is long and complicated. While at first it appears to be a simple puzzle game - the story and philosophy is not only complex, but it spans over thousands of years. This is one of the best written game series I have ever played.
From the fall of humanity, what it means to be human, the simulation, the rise of a new species, the theory of everything and what they should do with Planet Earth. With a cast of incredible characters, this story is perfect. Alexandra Drennan, Trevor Donovan, Athena, 1K, Byron, Alcatraz, Cornelius, Melville, Miranda and Yaqut are just some of the amazing characters.

In this video, I explore the whole history and story of The Talos Principle. Although Alexandra Drennan, Athena and 1K never met, their actions had a huge impact on the Earth and the universe.

This is a new game for the channel. Any interaction would be amazing! (Like, dislike, comment)
I love this game and loved telling the story.

What should I cover next?

[ShevaDecai]

The Talos Principle is one of my favorite video games of all time, so thank you so much for making this lore video!

[runie]

Seeing everything that occurs laid out chronologically in such a beautifully presented way is a fantastic experience. This is honestly edited like a 10-minute video but it goes on for 4 hours. Crazy.

[songworks]

What a lovely story.

And holy shit. I did not expect to watch a four hour video tonight. I kinda wanted to play something, but this was so much better.

[kizuto]

The Talos Principle games is probably the greatest expirience I ever lived through. The music, the story, the environment, the puzzles - I adore all of it. These games legitematelly changed how I think and view the world for the better. Thank you for making this video

[Iron_Soil]

Skyrionn really makes me lisen about a game i never heard of, and i like it

[broceratops]

So I'm an hour and a half in. Been listening to just the audio while working and i honestly forget the new humans are synthetics. What a wild story

[rollins]

I don't know who you are but keep up all the great work, so far I've enjoyed your narration and story telling to Half-life, Quake and now this, and this has the most impressive thought provoking story I have ever seen, keep it all up!!!

[somecrackheadwithinterneta]

Can't wait to wake up to this tomorrow lol

[anthonygorman]

I heard the name, but never really heard of the game. The story is one I’m grateful to have heard! As someone with a love of lore, but not much patience, this video gave me more things to think about, thank you!

[juanma]

A great analysis / summary of an astonishing masterpiece. The way this game covers so many existential, ethical, philosophical, artistic (among other) topics is so brilliant and deep. Huge thanks and congrats!

[Exoduss]

I enjoyed this a lot but then i am really into sci-fi stories like this that deal in such things so even though i never played the games i enjoyed the lore video a lot. Thanks for your hard work making it.

[flightlessdutchman]

Congratulations on the achievements mentioned in the outro whilst working on this project. You deserve it!

[ClydeC]

Dude, I dont know if anyone else told you.. But your voice is so soothing.. I watch your vids till I fell asleep

[Crash]

As far as I can remember, there was only one email we saw from Trevor in the first game. I loved the recorded messages from him in the second game. The first ones were funny. The later ones were downright heartbreaking.

[Taliysin]

You obviously put a lot of love into this, and I learned a lot about the story and more about this game. I am in love with the storyline.
And this is an evergreen content, my man so may not pick it up right now, but people will be finding this for years

[Techhunter_Talon]

I love that Elohim essentially was revived and got himself a robot body outside of the simulation. He's definitely a character you feel bad for during the story of the first game once you learn just how afraid he was of the simulation ending and him effectively dying.

[moszto]

A prequel game to the talos principle series would be awesome. The storyline that led to the fall of humans would have so much potential for a great single player game.

[PrimordialGlyph]

Thanks for making this video. More people need to know about these games!

[sava]

I've been waiting for you to cover this!
