Antichamber set to melt minds on January 31
The award-winning indie game Antichamber will finally drop the general public into its mind-altering world on January 31. Developer Alexander Bruce announced this morning the game will be available on Steam for PC, but the price is still to be determined.
"After several years of obsessively watching people play and trying to get inside their minds, refining and then watching some more, this is what I've discovered, and it's finally time to share that with the world," said Bruce.
At its core, Antichamber is a puzzle game. We've tried to describe it in the past, but with only two weeks to go before launch, if you know nothing about the game, it may be best to enter its world without any knowledge.%Gallery-176712%
