The game won't start anymore (at 2025-01-01) on my windows 11 PC. I just freshly installed the game, and the game simply won't start up. I have tried every single fix I could found on the internet, including the game's subreddit's big collection of fixes, and nothing helped.

I don't know what causes this, maybe it's windows 11 as it still works on my friend's windows 10 machine.

Back when I bought this game it used to work and I would have recommended it, but today I cannot recommend it simply because it is literally unplayable (for me for sure, but probably for others too, there must be a reason a dedicated "Startup Crash Fixes/Solutions" page on the game's subreddit exists).

(Since this means I can't play this game anymore on my modern setup, my money is lost on this game. I have tried to request a refund from steam but they refused as I have played more than 2 hours with the game already (although not much more than 2 hours). Sad.)

Antichamber is one of those games that everyone must experience in their lifetime. The tricks that it pulls on you, the clever puzzles that it has you solving, the game just doesn't let up throughout its (admittedly short) runtime. New mechanics are constantly introduced to spice up the gameplay or make certain puzzles easier/possible to solve, which works nicely for its sense of progression.

Sound design is especially commendable. This game was an aesthetic treat both in audio and in visuals.

Not many games stand out for their uniqueness, but this one definitely does. It shows just how much you can do with 3d videogames if you really use your imagination and have an understanding of the technology and the engine itself. Bravo to the developer.
