The Broken Principle

v1.1.0

The Broken Principle is a series of puzzles consisting of three beautiful worlds, the main idea of which is breaking all the rules of puzzle solving. You will have to use an unconventional approach and new mechanics to overcome each trial.

The Broken Principle has its own story, which seamlessly intertwines with the story of the original game. Each level is designed in the style of The Talos Principle to maintain canonical consistency.

Explore the broken iteration of the Process and solve impossible puzzles to unlock one of the endings!



In total, this episode has 20 sigils and 4 stars to collect. Each sigil is collected in its own puzzle.

All the puzzles are designed trying to use more and more unique mechanics, so each puzzle is made to be unique. The episode also contains many Easter eggs.

Playlist with solutions: The Broken Principle - All Puzzle Solutions



For anyone who has difficulties at the very beginning, here are some important features of the puzzles.

Basic tips without spoilers:

- Puzzles are designed to be really difficult, so be patient.
- If possible, try to solve other puzzles so that you don't get hung up on the same ideas.
- No puzzle uses outright game bugs like those used in speedruns.
- No tree climbing is used.

More suggestive hints:

- Sometimes puzzles use the environment and design to complete.
- Some puzzles require complex solutions, like stars from The Talos Principle.
- Some puzzles are "impossible" to solve, accept it.

P.S. You can go all the way to the end. I believe in you :D
