A new puzzle platformer is nearly here from Bulkhead Interactive and publisher Square Enix and it's called The Turing Test. I was fortunate enough to get some hands-on time with the game earlier this month ahead of its August 30 release. A part of the restriction I was given was that I was to share nothing beyond the third chapter of the game.

A review is forthcoming but perhaps a look at the first three chapters will be enough for you to decide if you are interested in the game or not. If you are, you can pick it up for either the PC or Xbox One. It is currently available for pre-order through Steam for $17.99 (USD; normally $19.99).

Yes, it may immediately remind you of a certain other puzzle focused series, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. The Turing Test does, I feel, quite a few things differently from the likes of Portal that my time spent with the game has ended up being a very enjoyable experience thus far.

A playlist of the first three chapters can be viewed here. Alternatively, all three videos are also embedded below. If you have already decided to pick up the game, then I would advise not watching the videos as they obviously contain spoilers. The videos are unedited and taken directly from my first, blind playthrough of the first three chapters of 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.
