Antichamber is looking pretty darn interesting.

Seems like a try stuff until it works kind of game, I can live with those but they tend to bore me after a while. Hopefully I am wrong and there is some logic to it though.

Interesting, it's obviously inspired by Portal. It should be fun for one or two play-through until you figure out all the puzzles. I really liked Portal 2 (original was good, very short though, but Portal 2 is much better), although once completed I never went back, no replayability for me, but it was very fun while it lasted. Maybe one day we'll have some sort of a procedural puzzle game in which parts of, or all puzzles would be different all the time, or the room would have differently-placed obstacles, etc. That would help those types of game offering more replay value. I rarely play puzzle type games though.

Portal 2 has a boatload of custom made maps to keep you playing.

Very tempted to pick this up. $15 seems a bit steep for a one-man indie title, but at the same time, everyone is giving this game nothing but praise. Some are saying that it's the most unique thing they've played since Portal. I might go for it.

Also: It's recommended you refrain from watching any videos or reading any reviews about the game, and just go into it without knowing anything.

Yeah, I am going to pick it up after it falls below $10.

Just a bump.. Played it a good 4-5 hours this weekend and had a blast. It's definitely a mind bender-type of game..

There were a couple of puzzles that were really frustrating.. Things like, you do a puzzle a certain way and get teleported. Sometimes that is a 'good' thing and the game progresses, other times it's a 'bad' thing yet you don't really know it until later.

Hard to explain, but if replaying a level a few times is frustrating then this is not the game for you.

Having started it, it's partly what I wanted, and partly a bit much, abstract often unclear what to do... mixed feelings but it is creative.

Props to the creator for coming out with something different and getting a lot of praise for it. I have no interest in playing it but it's good to see indie and one-man devs being successful (Minecraft comes to mind too).

It looks interesting, but I'm not sure if I have the patience to be constantly tricked in arbitrary ways.

very weird, but you kind of want to keep playing to explore this strange universe.

The trailer didn't really give me any indication of what was special about it, but it looked alright.
