About

"Portal Reloaded" on PC takes the mind-bending mechanics of the classic Portal series and injects a new layer of complexity. Developed by PORT∆LIS and released in 2021, this fan-made mod introduces players to a unique twist on the familiar portal-based puzzle-solving formula.

In "Portal Reloaded," players are equipped not with one but two portal guns, allowing for a total of four portals. The additional time portal introduces a new dimension to the puzzles, enabling players to manipulate time and work through intricate challenges that span different eras. This innovative mechanic adds a fresh and cerebral layer to the already challenging puzzles, requiring players to think in four dimensions.

Set within the same minimalist yet atmospheric environment as the original Portal games, "Portal Reloaded" challenges players with a series of mind-bending puzzles that push the limits of spatial and temporal reasoning. The game pays homage to the beloved Portal series while introducing a creative and challenging expansion of the gameplay mechanics.

With its engaging puzzles, clever use of time manipulation, and a nod to the spirit of the original Portal games, "Portal Reloaded" stands as a testament to the creativity and dedication of the modding community. If you're a fan of portal-based puzzles and are ready for a new dimension of challenges, this PC mod offers an exciting and innovative take on the iconic Portal experience.

Intro

@Fusha

Welcome to PUZZLE stage! And this time, there's time travel in it!

Progress is measured by the furthest test chamber you managed to solve! The time limit is 5 hours, no practicing. The level design is very linear, the puzzles are almost all in self-contained test chambers, so measuring progress is very easy. There are 25 test chambers in total, so see how far you can get! According to the author, it should be possible to beat the game blind in 3 hours! Tiebreakers: time, then deaths. While you can die, dying doesn't set you back much, and avoiding deaths isn't the point of the game, so time will be the more important factor.

As far as I'm aware, none of the WoS participants played the game before, so you should all be on even ground here. But if you somehow never played Portal before, you'll be at a pretty big disadvantage! This game is a mod, so you'll need to have Portal 2 on Steam -- once you do, you can get and play Reloaded for free by following the link below.
