Teaches stealth by avoiding initial alien patrols.

Introduces new story elements showing how the aliens are conducting experiments on bots and biological research.

First encounter with the alien portal technology—learning how they manipulate dimensions.

Portal Gun is obtained in this level, introducing basic portal mechanics to solve puzzles.

Some sections require using portals creatively to navigate restricted areas.

It is guarded by turrets, alien soldiers, and security bots, making it the first central combat-heavy area.

The player must solve puzzles while avoiding enemy patrols to unlock the main control room.

Stealth and strategy are key—using portals to distract or outmanoeuvre enemies.

A chaotic lava-filled chamber where the player must dodge enemy turrets, navigate moving lasers, and cross unstable platforms.

The area is packed with angled and shifting paths suspended over lava, forcing careful movement and timing.

One wrong step or mistimed jump can send the player into the fire or right into turret fire.
