A fan made mod.

Not to take anything away from them but other than not being on an official YouTube channel I did think this was a brand new game given it says 'official'. A bit deceiving.

It also uses the name "Portal" in a way that feels official, too. If it said "Revolution: A Portal mod" it'd be fine.

I was surprised to see another Portal game being announced, but finding out it's a fan-made mod actually has me more interested.

Fan-mods are where you can see some neat shit because they're not trying to maximize profits, they're just trying to make something cool.

This is not made by (or in association with) valve.

It's effectively a mod built on portal2

I'm always amazed of what passionate people can achieve. It happens that i also love this game. Nice !

Actually just started another playthrough of Portal still alive! I just hope the cake is real this time.

mmmmmmmmm cake

I really miss the times when mods actually were encouraged by the gamedevs. Yes there are games that still encourage modding but it's still not as widespread as it was so a couple of years after Half-life was released.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in
