Antichamber is a first-person puzzle-platform game created by Australian developer Alexander "Demruth" Bruce. Many of the puzzles are based on phenomena that occur within impossible objects created by the game engine, such as passages that lead the player to different locations depending on which way they face, and structures that seem otherwise impossible within normal three-dimensional space. The game includes elements of psychological exploration through brief messages of advice to help the player figure out solutions to the puzzles as well as adages for real life. The game was released on Steam for Microsoft Windows on January 31, 2013. A version originally sold with the Humble Indie Bundle 11 in 2014 added support for Linux and OS X.
Runs well on modern hardware.

If you are thinking about getting this game in any way because you like puzzle games with some kind of moral of the story, and you are wondering if getting a 2013 game would be an error or not, don't think twice. This game is something you won't find even in the new games that were inspired by this masterpiece. Absolutely a game to play, worth every cent of it.
Years and years after picking up the game, I finally beat it without a guide except for one specific puzzle. It's beautiful, it hurts your head, and the default settings kinda shrink down your steam window, but I'm really glad I played through it start to finish. This is gonna sit with me for a while.
Fun little puzzle game. Game doesn't really tell you what to do or how stuff works (besides what buttons do), instead forcing you beat the puzzle with a certain mechanic to ensure you know about this mechanic. Very lightweight RAM requirements.
