Overview
Description

Step into the boots of Lt. Col. Henry Hericksen, an ex-Colonial Marine commanding a terraforming team aboard the USS Sheridan. When a mysterious distress call echoes from a distant outpost on B54C, your mission is to uncover the dark, vicious secrets hidden beneath the mining complex's surface. Piece together scattered evidence and survive the unspeakable horrors lurking in the shadows. Based on the chilling sci-fi universe, this graphic adventure challenges your wits and nerves as you investigate sinister experiments gone disastrously wrong.

Portal is a first-person puzzle game developed by Valve. Players take on the role of Chell, a test subject who awakens in the Aperture Science computer-aided enrichment center. Guided by the sadistic artificial intelligence system GLaDOS, Chell must navigate through increasingly challenging test chambers using the 'portal gun,' a device that can create two portals that allow for instant transportation between them. As Chell progresses through the game, she uncovers the dark secrets behind Aperture Science and must use her wits to escape the crumbling facility.
