A well-crafted game and a must-have for lovers of the Portal series like myself. It's not canon, but contains its own centralized story that is a lot of fun with new mechanics and puzzles. 9/10.

Boy, this game was not what I expected. It's finally nice to play a Portal game without portals. The inclusion of the Paint Gun is quite interesting. It is also nice to see a new core in the form of Virgil. Anyways, good game!

It's just a masterpiece. Story is a little slow and lacking, there's no GLaDOS taunting you and you're not in danger of being murdered (you monster), but in all other aspects it's fantastic. Soundtrack is phenomenal, has the same composer as Portal Storie

This game would be fine, despite the annoying narration. But it has two fatal flaws. 1) It has a tendency to auto-save in spots where it's impossible to continue. Like, it will auto-save as you're falling into a chasm, and just replay that over and over.

In this variant, you lose your portal gun in exchange for being able to shoot out repulsion and later propulsion gel. It seems like a nice twist, but the execution is lacking. Having to repaint whole walls to solve puzzles can get pretty tedious. Plus,
