This map was created for The Talos Principle Puzzle Jam.

I just created 4 puzzles, then I wanted to design them nicely, add some scenery... I ended up with a whole island, with a little lore and a meta-puzzle.

This map utilizes various subtleties of ray mechanics, so you'll have to do a pretty good job of understanding them.

I didn't make a walkthrough video, however there are plenty of puzzle solving hints in the terminals.

Neat map!
Though I found one of the god hints slightly misleading? ||In the Osiris and Isis temple there's obviously a question of which pyramid is which. The QR code said "Osiris is depicted in the upper right corner", which I assumed meant that I should direct Osiris's light to the receiver on top of the right pyramid. (And of course this is also the harder way to set it up, so it made sense from that point of view too.)||
Of course with that my solution didn't work and I didn't really have any way of diagnosing what was wrong, so I had to resort to terminal solutions. But that aside, no complaints! I appreciated the quality of life touches, like the switch to skip the dexterity element.

Oh, the Osiris caption was just pointing out where he is in the picture (since I couldn't find a better mural in the game)

What a cool map; I spent a whole 3.5 hours on it.

I really liked the puzzles; with a minimum of items, they resulted in complex solutions, very impressive.

I'm not really into god-themed stories, but this one is alright, it’s good.
