It was a powerfully affecting presentation, and a video recording of the talk is now freely available for anyone to watch via the GDC Vault. We've taken the liberty of embedding the free video of "Antichamber -- An Overnight Success, Seven Years In The Making" above, but you can also watch it here on the GDC Vault.
