Overview
Description

Antichamber is a single-player first-person puzzle-platform video game that challenges everything you know about space, logic, and geometry. Created by Alexander Bruce, the game plunges players into an abstract environment built on impossible objects, where paths change depending on your perspective and corridors loop in surreal ways. Throughout the journey, you collect a special gun-like device that manipulates matter and space, all while encountering philosophical adages that offer advice for both the puzzles and real life. With its minimalist aesthetic and mind-expanding mechanics, it redefines how spatial puzzles are experienced in video games.

Chronology blends puzzle, adventure, and platforming as you travel through time to restore a broken present. Play as the Old Inventor and his snail sidekick, using unique time‑bending abilities to solve intricate challenges.
