The gameplay centers around a unique teleportation mechanic involving placing and recycling teleport spheres, which serves as the foundation for a series of linear puzzle chambers. While the puzzles are engaging and encourage problem-solving, they are generally considered easy, and the mechanic can lead to frustrating backtracking. Overall, the game successfully introduces a fresh take on portal mechanics, though it has room for improvement in challenge and design.
- “The base gameplay mechanic is the ability to place a teleport sphere where you are standing, and then later being able to instantly teleport to that location, thereby also recycling that sphere so that you can place it elsewhere when the time comes.”
- “The puzzles, organized essentially as a linear series of puzzle chambers, created with the combination of all these gameplay elements, are the core of the gameplay.”
- “Having three portals that you teleport through in a specific order, no matter which ones were placed first, definitely made for a great puzzle mechanic and where I had most of my troubles figuring out puzzles.”
- “If I recall correctly, that is the sum total of gameplay mechanisms.”
- “It has flaws (chambers are pretty easy overall, the mechanic is much more annoying than the original Portal, requiring you to backtrack a lot more to solve stuff, and in some cases, you have more portals than what you actually need, which makes it seem like some of the supposedly hardest chambers should have appeared earlier in the game, things like that).”
- “The puzzles (organized essentially as a linear series of puzzle chambers) created with the combination of all these gameplay elements, is the core of the gameplay.”

- “At some point the story starts to become really interesting, wanting you to discover more of the maybe deep and dark secrets behind the mysterious company and its technology.”
- “There is a story that didn't make much sense to me and voices talking to you, the protagonist 'test subject', as well as some very linear, boring walking simulator sections that advance the story.”
- “Story-wise, this game is not unlike others of its kind, where you are a test subject proving some new technology; you signed up for it for... reasons, but things are not like you were told.”
- “There is a story that didn't make much sense to me and voices talking to you, the protagonist 'test subject', as well as some very linear, boring walking simulator sections that advance the story.”

The game is well-optimized, with users reporting no bugs, crashes, or issues with the saving system, allowing for seamless exploration of choices. Additionally, performance remained stable even in high temperatures, indicating efficient resource management.
- “Performance-wise, I didn't run into any bugs, didn't have problems with the saving system (there's a choice at the end, and you don't have to back up your save to explore both possibilities, you can easily return to that point in the game), didn't have any crashes, and my PC fans stood mostly still during my playthrough (and it's summer here, so room temperature was high).”
