About Portal: Alive & Kicking

Portal: Alive & Kicking is a full remake and re-imagining of Valve's Portal. Utilizing the power of Portal 2 and its engine, Alive & Kicking slips you back into the cold test chambers of Aperture Science to retell the original story of Chell and GLaDOS - updated to compensate and complete the vast retcons and aesthetic additions of the sequel.

Full Re-Imagining: Relive the classic game with improved visuals, rivaling even those of Portal 2. Gameplay & Visual Enhancements: Improvements range from improved puzzle cues to a carefully designed visual style, as well as countless little details. Original Soundtrack: New dynamic soundtrack that combines the styles of both Portal's forlorn drones and Portal 2's reactive scoring.

Future Content: Alive & Kicking includes our rendition of the original campaign and its Advanced chambers. We may release additional content for free in the future as it's developed.
