Overview

Screenshot of the Main menu

The game starts with the words "Good morning subject number 15837. It is time to begin your test." after which the first task starts with the use of Portal Gun. Text on top of the game suggests that subject might not be familiar with the facility, but explains that you need to exit the rooms. First encounter with a dangerous mechanic happens with a modified Crusher (used only in the trailer for Portal) in task 11.

Items and Mechanics

The game uses most of the same mechanics that are used in Portal, but it also uses some scrapped and totally new mechanics aswell. One of the mechanics wasn't used in Portal but did make it to Portal 2.
