Self-Esteem Field[1], referred to internally as the slowfield[2], is a cut testing element from Portal 2.

Function

Effect of Self-Esteem Field is pre-set to last 5.5 seconds upon activation; during this period, time for the player is slowed down fivefold by default while the field of view is decreased, a color overlay is displayed, and a set of sound effects is played.[2]

Trivia

  • Only instance in which the full name of the testing element appears is a cut quote from GLaDOS:

"You have just experienced an Aperture Science Self Esteem Field, which temporarily increases your reaction time."[1]
