Whoever wrote the script for Cave Johnson at the beginning was a GENUIS. "Alright, you are now arriving at Aperture Science Central Statoion. Wait, Chris, get over here."
Here is a fact for you the person who voiced Cave Johnson in Portal Stories: Mel is Harry101UK same with Virgil A.E.G.I.S I don't know though and if you don't know who harry is well he makes SFM's at disney quality and does almost exact recreations of a lot of Portal's characters voices same with other characters from movies, video games, etc.
That… felt like a genuine VALVe production. And man, I got really emotional at the end… The team who made this should be incredibly proud. This is really great. I'm really sad we may never see or hear from Virgil again, though…
“Release third steam valve” being one of the options Mell can select in the cutscene is nice, as well as a loading message being “downloading ram” and “delete system 32”
If valve made a prequel, I like to think this is exactly what they would do. It’s so awesome to see Aperture with scientists walking around still alive. Ties in nicely with Portal 2.

This took a lot of lines from Portal and Portal 2. Considering how the first chapter is a prequel(1952) I can see where GLadOS took the "You incinerated your faithful companion cube faster than anyone on record" line from. Nice job.

The test subject is not permitted to take classified aperture equipment into the elevator, because, if she did take the core, the elevator would be in lockdown mode like it was with the portal gun mel had to incinerate
I think the AEGIS painted board that was conveniently close to the turret control line was made by Rattman. He was probably a life-form AEGIS tracked at one point. This would make sense, seeing that Rattman is a good painter, and is always on the run from some corrupt AI. Obviously he wouldn’t have been successful at shutting down AEGIS, but what he left was vital for taking it down eventually.
@@leoncruz8341 yeah and it’s (unfortunately) not canon and not made by Valve (the original creators of portal 1 & 2 as well as many other fantastic games) though many have made this game their headcanon as it just fits so well with the portal universe and has the same humor of it too. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Valve confirms that this game is canon despite not being made by them. Also, this game is even free! So check it out on your own time if you haven’t already and if you even can.
at 47:52 there's an alternate way to do this, launch yourself using the launchpad, and when you land, perform a bunnyhop into the portal, you will normally get just enough momentum to get through the field.
This might be the ONLY portal fan game that lets you see the surface and lets you free from the facility and does not lets you go in a room surrounded by screens
I also think after that tragic moment when mel escapes she couldnt take the train out because its been abandoned for a long time so she probably just followed the remains of the track to get back to what used to be her home
19:44 I’ve been stuck on this one for three years. And all I had to do was jump into the portal. Yep, that’s all I need to see to know that this game is gonna pull nuanced shit like that all the time.
The chamber where AEGIS initiates the flooding procedure always freaks me out - it feels like it's timed, but then you don't know if it is, but then the game sets the mood that it is, and eventually every time you go through it you freak out because you never want to stick around long enough to know.
SPOILER WARNING It should be better then down here"..... If half life and portal are in the same universe and it looks like this is After portal 1 but before portal 2 which means the combine are there.... Wait till mell finds the combine :/
psearcher08 the story happened during the cave johnson era...i dont think this takes time after the first portal but before it instead :/ btw half life and portal are in the same universe
CrimsonHold since my pc been dead for like 6 months now i didnt get the chance to finish the game so that shady narrator was not cave johnson? Thought i read sth like the game took place in before-glados-AS lab so i just assume the narrator was mr. johnson(even though they sound different) :/
Thank you so much. I didn't need it too much, but these were some seriously paradoxing puzzles (how am I gonna get a box through a grill I can't turn off without the box?!) And when I did get stuck, this helped a ton. Thanks a bunch. And thanks for not going SUPER fast so we can keep up.
Whoever made “Portal Stories: Mel” did a great job! Valve should do something like this. Because so far the only Official Playable Character was Chell. Also, Gordon Freeman and Chell should have their own voices. NOT MUTES! Come on, Valve!

This "story mode" is still harder for me when I reached the Enrichment Center...
Oh my God...
Yeah but at least it's funner than the spheres
very sad ending I'd rather take the core with me then leaving behind so that way we can go on sorts of Adventures.
Rocket Man nice tf2 profile pic
If she did that, how would she charge him? Just get some jumper cables and a car battery?
The test subject is not permitted to take classified aperture equipment into the elevator, because, if she did take the core, the elevator would be in lockdown mode like it was with the portal gun mel had to incinerate
@@spextahd5673 even worse that gun was the Prototype one it got destroyed
Virgil battery would die after a while.
1:27:56 Well you have found me. Congratulations! Was it worth it? Because, despite your violent behavor, all you managed to
break so far is my heart.
Thanks for uploading this! I can't BELIEVE this thing was fanmade; everything about it is production quality.
I always forget how complicated these test chambers are. 😵😵😵
"Black Mesa can kiss my..."
Nice easter egg, i think...
Not an easter egg, they're in the same 'dimension'.
@@LennertTale actually its universe but still kinda correct. in hl2ep2 we get to see borealis
@@miguelwsth Yeah.
LennertTale true
yea it is not a easter egg it is cannon that aperture and black mesa exist in the same "cinematic universe" or what ever
She didn't show the credits ending though. That's the good part...
You’ve been asleep for, nien nien nien nien-
Genetic lifeform and Disk Operating system....huh... nice to finally know what her name actually means.
you can find that in portal 1 too
So she is a sentient dvd player
Alexander Chapman
We kneW that before
🤣
@GAMP: Sicker than your average kigger nilller No, a sentient Osborne.
I think the AEGIS painted board that was conveniently close to the turret control line was made by Rattman. He was probably a life-form AEGIS tracked at one point. This would make sense, seeing that Rattman is a good painter, and is always on the run from some corrupt AI. Obviously he wouldn’t have been successful at shutting down AEGIS, but what he left was vital for taking it down eventually.
Well, he was murdered however by Turrets, after Portal 1.
Virgil being a maintenance core trying to stop the flooding of the facility is quite neat. That’s why I think Shard’s voice would sound like Virgil’s!
10:14 tell me that doesn't sound like a combine soldier dying
IT DOSE
StormyD186 the soldiers in the Half -life games..
StormyD186 No problem. If you haven't already, check out Half-Life and especially Half-Life 2. Their in the same universe as portal😊
@StormyD186 but different games entirely
That does not sound anything like that.
It's just ambient\materials\metal_groan.wav
Should've turned on captions
Oh wait there aren’t any 😥
@@wevebeen8055 he meant the captions in the game. There are captions there.
15:27 one of the best jumpscares of all time!
6 years later, and this is still one of the best portal mods ever.
THIS IS A MOD?
@@leoncruz8341 yeah and it’s (unfortunately) not canon and not made by Valve (the original creators of portal 1 & 2 as well as many other fantastic games) though many have made this game their headcanon as it just fits so well with the portal universe and has the same humor of it too.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Valve confirms that this game is canon despite not being made by them.
Also, this game is even free! So check it out on your own time if you haven’t already and if you even can.
This test subject is DEFINITELY thinking with Portals...
at 47:52 there's an alternate way to do this, launch yourself using the launchpad, and when you land, perform a bunnyhop into the portal, you will normally get just enough momentum to get through the field.
So much sass for someone who can't talk
Virgil is the most sane Core out of all of the Cores in the Portal series. Amazing.
holy crap, i saw the elevator part in VR completely out of context before i even knew about this whole thing. honestly, i'm glad i saw it there first
Im actually kinda sad to see Virgil go.
Too bad Mel couldn't take him with her.
-Release third steam valve
Yes, got em
I want to get a replica of that portal gun
meh too
*everyone wants a Real One, though*
Jupiter's Godzilla true
Jackocrazy Salad but portal guns I fiction
Jupiter's Godzilla, actually i want the paint gun in "Aperture Tag" Because Portal guns only Works on Moon Rocks , but only with the Long fall boot
Gotta love the paperclip on the QUANTUM TUNNELING DEVICE
This might be the ONLY portal fan game that lets you see the surface and lets you free from the facility and does not lets you go in a room surrounded by screens
That’s a very unethical fan theory that kills Gladoses character development, if you’re talking about the main game. If you aren’t, I apologize.
I also think after that tragic moment when mel escapes she couldnt take the train out because its been abandoned for a long time so she probably just followed the remains of the track to get back to what used to be her home
Player: * moves to a chamber without plants *
AEGIS: helo.
WHY DID THAT MAKE ME LAUGHHSJSHSJSVSJ
19:44 I’ve been stuck on this one for three years. And all I had to do was jump into the portal. Yep, that’s all I need to see to know that this game is gonna pull nuanced shit like that all the time.
I never noticed the paper clip on the portaltype XD
"You were able to get yourself out with the turrets but you can't open a door. What kind of Olympian are you!?" (Or whatever he said lol)
The chamber where AEGIS initiates the flooding procedure always freaks me out - it feels like it's timed, but then you don't know if it is, but then the game sets the mood that it is, and eventually every time you go through it you freak out because you never want to stick around long enough to know.
"Here's some advice the lab boys gave me - DO NOT COVERED IN REPULSION GEL."
SPOILER WARNING It should be better then down here"..... If half life and portal are in the same universe and it looks like this is After portal 1 but before portal 2 which means the combine are there.... Wait till mell finds the combine :/
whats combine? plz tell me :D
David Robertson Go play some Half Life 2, or Half Life 1. Play both.
psearcher08 the story happened during the cave johnson era...i dont think this takes time after the first portal but before it instead :/
btw half life and portal are in the same universe
Chun Lo It's been pointed out by Virgil that a test subject defeated Glados, so it is between Portal 1 and 2. Cave Johnson is dead long ago.
CrimsonHold since my pc been dead for like 6 months now i didnt get the chance to finish the game
so that shady narrator was not cave johnson? Thought i read sth like the game took place in before-glados-AS lab so i just assume the narrator was mr. johnson(even though they sound different) :/
1:36:31 So beautiful, best mod ending than any portal 2 mod ending!!! ;)
This game isn’t canon because it’s not made by Valve, but by god it sure captures that feel.
Thank you so much. I didn't need it too much, but these were some seriously paradoxing puzzles (how am I gonna get a box through a grill I can't turn off without the box?!) And when I did get stuck, this helped a ton. Thanks a bunch. And thanks for not going SUPER fast so we can keep up.
15:26
Pssh, who needs EARS anyway?
16:03
Yeah who needs eyes as well?
Lmao 😂💀
Me: watches this video
Also me: did Johnson made him self a Dampening Sphere?
This is my favorite portal 2 mod by far. It’s really cool to see more of old Aperture.
Virgil’s subtle accent is quite pleasant
Whoever made “Portal Stories: Mel” did a great job! Valve should do something like this. Because so far the only Official Playable Character was Chell. Also, Gordon Freeman and Chell should have their own voices. NOT MUTES! Come on, Valve!
