In The Turing Test , you find out you are not Tom but Ava Turing at the point where the story starts revealing the true identity behind the player character and the mission, which is tied to the game’s narrative twist rather than a puzzle milestone. The game is built around that reveal, so the “when” is essentially later in the campaign , as the plot connects Ava’s role to the larger experiment and the test of human vs. machine judgment.

What that means

  • Tom is not the character you’re playing as in the usual interpretation of the game’s setup.
  • Ava Turing is the astronaut/engineer central to the story, and the game gradually frames her identity through logs, dialogue, and the final narrative reveals.
  • The twist is designed to make you question who is being tested and how the test itself works.

Spoiler-safe version

If you just want the non-spoiler answer: you learn it during the game’s story reveal, not at the start. The game intentionally keeps that identity question ambiguous until the narrative pays it off.

Context

The Turing Test concept itself is about distinguishing a human from a machine, so the game uses that idea to blur identity and perspective. That’s why the “Tom vs. Ava” question lands as a twist instead of a simple character swap.

TL;DR: You find out mid-to-late game , when the story reveal reframes who you are and what the test actually means.
