Its style and direction are so unique in this day and age. Against the white surfaces, all the color that is there pops out and is amazingly detailed.Īntichamber is a game that deserves a lot of attention. Many rooms are colored with bright colors that contrast drastically. The walls, the gun, basically everything that is nonessential is straight white. One of the coolest features of this game is the art direction. You’ll discover a four gun upgrades that allow you to interact with the blocks in new ways. They’ll be used to hold open doors, block trip lasers, act as keys, and create paths. You can store and use an innumerable amount of cubes. To do so, you get various guns that interact with the colored cubes in the rooms. The only thing you do know is that the exit that you see in the starting room is your goal, and you need to figure out how to get there. The game is full of non-Euclidian levels that can have you walking in a circle and finding rooms within room. Some are as easy as falling off a ledge, while require walking backwards, spinning, and defying geometry. There are sixty-three (63) rooms that you can find your way through.
This game is all about the puzzles, and there are a lot of them. The only real text is the initial menu and the scattered hint text/philosophy cards throughout the rooms. There is no story to pull the player along. That is the only comparison that can be made to Portal. That is, until Antichamber, developed by Alexander Bruce, stepped onto the field.Īntichamber is a first-person puzzle-platform game. Usually there is a straight forward challenge to be completed.
We don’t tend to think of artistic games that play with our perceptions of art and thought. Usually we think of things along the lines of World of Goo, Bejewled, and Tetris. Puzzle games are an underappreciated genre.
