Combine with equal quantity of chamber.

A game that has been in development for a long time. I'm sure there were some real doubts that this game would ever come out but it's out now and is rather excellent. It's kind of a really cool looking world, very minimalistic with bold single colours around the place. The soundtrack isn't standout but the ambient nature of it is really important at leading you on in the right direction as well as giving you information about this world that you're in.

The puzzles themselves haven't been massively taxing, but they all require a bit of a knack to it. You have to expect to try things and use what you've learnt before. The most important of which is don't trust what you see and that the space of the world won't be the same just because you stand in it. It's hard to say more without spoiling the game but you should go play this one. I don't know how long the game is, from the size of the wall probably longer than the timer of 90 minutes which makes me wonder what the heck that thing is on about. So yeah that's Antichamber, one great big mystery to mess with your head.

The art style is super-minimalist. Not sure about the clip-art pictures on the walls but everything else looks incredible.

Great video as usual, of course. ;)

@pokecharm So many great indie games! This one has definitely been a highlight of the things I've gotten a chance to play.

It's really cool. Lot like Portal in that completing puzzles makes you feel like a genius. Very clever game.

@c_rake I really would like to check out the source files to this, Unreal Engine 3 has portals in which could allow for all the transitions done but I just can't see how it's all really put together. It is a bloody cool game though.

@lim_ak Same. Would love to chat with its creator, too, see where all this madness came from.
