Windows

Install the .ZIP file for Windows. Then extract it to anywhere of your choice. Do not move any files as the game cannot run without them. Upon extracting, you should find The Chamber's .exe file.

Once located, feel free to start playing! 

However, if you receive a SmartScreen popup, click More Info -> Run anyway. Microsoft claims that it tries to protect your computer. It does this to any unsigned programs. Signing programs is quite expensive and is hard to afford. Don't worry, we aren't going to destroy your PC 😊

macOS

Due to Apple policy, packaging for their platforms is troublesome. You have to:

• Follow the first bit of instructions given under the Windows section.

• Safely open The Chamber to ignore scary Gatekeeper warnings by opening Finder > Navigating to the application > Right click > Open > Open.

Linux

Linux support is still experimental.

Linux support in our form of development is limited to 64-bit x86 apps (which will run on most desktops and laptops). 32-bit systems and ARM devices such as Raspberry Pis unfortunately are not supported yet. This game is mainly based on Electron.

The Electron environment works by embedding a copy of Chromium (the open source part of Google Chrome) along with our game, which means the game will be very large because it is basically a browser for the game.

On Linux, the application can be started by running start.sh on the command line.
