The Portal Escape Chamber DLC for Escape Simulator will let you and up to nine pals - which, honestly, sounds like a recipe for chaos based on watch a handful of people bicker over puzzles in any escape room I’ve ever been in - try and escape the Aperture Science Computer-Aided Enrichment Center, an extremely Portal name if I ever saw one.

In keeping with Portal’s still-brilliant twist, there are hints that the Aperture Science Computer-Aided Enrichment Center may not be all it seems, and you might have to work around the lab’s safety protocols to find your way out.

ThePortal Escape Chamber DLCwill arrive in Escape Simulator on September 7th, and will cost the low, low price of nothing. You’ll also be able to play in virtual reality.
