Portal vs The Cave

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.

Developed by Double Fine Productions and legendary game designer Ron Gilbert, The Cave is a 2D puzzle-platform adventure game where players assemble a team of three unique characters from a selection of seven eccentric adventurers. Each character possesses distinct personalities and special abilities that unlock different paths and stories as you explore a vast, sentient subterranean world. Journey through bizarre and unexpected locations including a subterranean amusement park, a medieval castle, and a fully armed nuclear ICBM silo. Combining exploration, character swapping, and clever puzzle-solving, the game offers a darkly comedic adventure that reveals the inner depths of each adventurer as they seek what matters most to them.
