TO OPEN YOU EYES
Imagine a scene that one day you wake up and find yourself in a strange room. You head that someone is knocking the door. You opened the door and find surprised that “he” is a robot called Wheatley. He told you that you are in a big laboratory and he is to help you escape here. You have no choice only to trust him. You follow him and get to know something had happened here by his telling. The Scientific Corporation invent an AI which called GLaDOS to help to manage the test. But as long as the AI get self-awareness she killed everyone in these company. Because she think it will achieve maximum efficiency by taking all business on her own. You are survived as an experimental subject like a laboratory rat. Fortunately, GLaDOS is shut down by you in portal1. So you have an excellent chance to escape here.
You follow Wheatley and do what he want you to do. How. When you see GLaDOS, Wheatley even restart her by a mistake. The envy AI waked up which mean the test will be start again. Now the only way to get out the hell is to help Wheatley take place of DLaDOS. Do you trust what the robot said? Is he so stupid to restart DLaDOS just by mistake? I cannot to tell anymore.
TO OPEN YOUR MIND
Above is only a brief background of the game. But as a puzzle-platform game, what is puzzle？And what is portal? In this game you will have a gun which is not for killing. Using the gun you can open two holes at different place. You can go into one hole and get out from the other. That is why it is called portal. Besides the portal, another key to solve puzzle is gravity. For example in one test room, you should cross a deep ditch which is too wide to jump across. And there is a high wall behind you. So you can open a portal at the bottom of the ditch and open another one on the wall behind you with the gun. Then you can jump into the ditch and go through the portal. Due to gravity you will have a high speed. At this moment, you will fly out from the portal on the high wall like a cannonball. Easily you fly over the ditch. But it is just one of simplest puzzle in this game. Do you think it is a challenge for you intelligence? But you will get more interesting and a sense of satisfaction when you solve the puzzle by yourself.
