Steam Store description

Portal Stories: Mel is a community made, free modification for Portal 2 based in the Portal universe. It tells the story of Mel, who meets a new personality core and faces an undiscovered threat to the Aperture facility. 1952, in the early years of Aperture: Science Innovators, Cave Johnson’s scientists experimented with whatever they wanted. Not everything worked as it should have though, but that wasn't going to get in the way of the progress of Science!

Main Features 22 levels, with an estimated gameplay time of ~6-10 hours Custom Story with 350 separate in-game voicelines Over an hour of custom music with the Free soundtrack included Huge amount of custom assets 27 steam achievements Standalone mod (You do not need Portal 2 installed to play) Free to Play (You must own Portal 2) Logic based puzzles, not execution based puzzles FAQ: How do I play this game?
