What it is

This is a free first-person puzzle mod for Portal 2 built around a single new mechanic: a handheld time machine that records your movements and then plays them back as a duplicate of yourself, letting you cooperate with your own past actions to solve test chambers. You still carry the portal gun and work through Aperture-style laboratory rooms using buttons, cubes, lasers, and portals. There is no combat and nothing is harmed; the challenge is entirely spatial and logical. The mod is short, has essentially no dialogue or story, and includes no custom voice acting.

How it's framed

The game frames its content as a pure logic puzzle. Success comes from planning and coordinating two synchronized versions of the same character, with no conflict, stakes, or subject matter beyond solving the test chambers.
