Antichamber vs Downward
Antichamber
Antichamber is the sort of game you'll want to play if you have a strong appreciation for MC Escher's mind-bending worlds and you have always imagine what it'd feel like to be in one of these worlds. Being an almost impossible puzzle game where hallways wrap around each other and spaces rearrange themselves, the game aims to push you out of your comfort zone and make you question how the game work (Hint: there is no permanent set of rules in this game and eveything you know can be changed). With your trusty gun in hand, you will need to create, destroy and manipulate the very matter itself to solve the puzzles you get and move on to the next stage.Antichamber is a puzzle game that's unlike any other. If you enjoy getting your mind blown wide open, this is the type of game you'll want to play... guaranteed!
Downward
Downward is an indie, first-person open-world parkour adventure. In this game, the end of the world has come and gone, tipping the Earth’s equilibrium and leaving in its wake the ruins of civilizations. Being among the handful of humans left, you set off on a treacherous journey to seek out and collect mysterious artifacts that may finally explain why things are now the way they are. Use various parkour techniques as well as the anomalies that had appeared across the post-apocalyptic world to traverse tricky puzzle-like locations and to escape from creatures that have awakened to claim the world as their own.To sum up, Downward is an incredible feat of a game, especially for an indie team of 3 people. The game is not only both challenging and entertaining; it provides players with inventive new game mechanics to play with; mechanics that gave the game a depth never seen before in first-person parkour game. Of course, aside from the brilliant graphics and sound, there’s also the insatiable urge to collect everything there is to collect in this game as well as mini parkour challenges which offer players hours of replayability.
So, if this sounds like a game you’d enjoy, you’ll be happy to know that you can buy Downward (early access) now on Steam for a mere $9.99 or you can try the demo for free. Check the game out today!
